Dragons in talks to keep at least one Morris away from Dogs
Brad Walter | May 11, 2009
DRAGONS officials are hopeful of retaining four-try hero Brett Morris amid speculation linking him with a move to Friday night's opponents, the Bulldogs, and a reunion with injured twin Josh next season.
Morris, 22, has been in stunning form on the wing for St George Illawarra in recent weeks, scoring seven tries - including four in Saturday night's 24-20 loss to North Queensland.
He has even been mentioned as a possible bolter for the NSW Origin team despite not playing in last Friday night's City-Country match in Orange.
Brother Josh was in the 40-man squad named by Blues selectors last month but has been ruled out of Origin after suffering a foot injury in the round-five win over Parramatta. Given the closeness of the brothers, there has been speculation that Brett may be bound for the Bulldogs next season but the Dragons are keen to retain him and have started talks about extending his contract.
St George Illawarra chief executive Peter Doust yesterday described the negotiations as a "work in progress" and the Dragons are believed to be confident about keeping him at the club.
Bulldogs recruitment manager Peter Mulholland also played down the prospect of his club snaring a second Morris twin from the club where their father, Steve, played.
"He's off contract and we have spoken about him but we've certainly made no moves to try and sign him," Mulholland said. "Having said that any club would be interested in a player who can score four tries."
Meanwhile, star second-rower Ben Creagh is set to finalise a new four-year deal to remain with the Dragons.
"I'd love to stay at the Dragons and have played all my footy with the Dragons and Steelers," Creagh said. "Hopefully I'll have it sorted soon."
Creagh, who is expected to make his NSW Origin debut in next month's series opener in Melbourne, missed Saturday night's clash with the Cowboys with an ankle injury suffered playing for Country the night before but is expected to be fit to take on the Bulldogs.
Centre Beau Scott (elbow), lock Jeremy Smith (ankle), fullback Darius Boyd (quadriceps) and interchange forward Jarrod Saffy (sternum) are also likely to play.
In other news, Roosters prop Mark O'Meley may be a late inclusion in the team to host Melbourne at Gosford's Bluetongue Stadium tonight.
The under-fire prop played for City on Friday night and impressed Roosters coach Brad Fittler, as well as NSW mentor Craig Bellamy.
