When you think about, If you are Morris, you are in the box seat to take command of the ship.
He’s going to have to work out a way of getting at GTA without being too obvious.
Obviously, he has to try to work out where the real power is or will be. That’s not with Lee. Who is going to be left?
His safest bet is to touch base with the newer board members who can’t be implicated in the mess and might survive.
Slow game Johnny.
Secondly, he has to infer or imply that Benji is up to his neck in the past drama.
But as his career advisor, he’s got to manage this negative inference surreptitiously, patiently and with extreme skill.
Who to trust at WT is very complex I’d say.
He’s got to back the right horse.
Of course even if he gets the gig, he may not be as good as Benji.
But if Benji struggles, big opportunity for Johnny. I like his mum too. Awesome person.
Johnny Morris now signed for 4 years. Surprised the NRL with a competent coaching account at the sharks in trying and difficult circumstances.
Astute but passionate.
I was 14 and with my dragons school mate lined up at the SCG at around 4AM or so as it was first in best seats in those days. They gave out cardboard loud hailers in Tigers and Souths colours and we shouted ourselves hoarse through those things. At fulltime Len Killeen did his handstand straight in front of where we were and for the next hour or more it sounded like there were half a million Tigers fans in there...while it was broadcast live the GF was always replayed later that night for those at the ground so ran back to Central and jump on the red rattler to get home in time to see it again.
