The Amazing John Morris

It isn’t gutter journalism just because you don’t agree with it. It’s just a bloke expressing his feelings about the situation. And doing it with class, as always.
A bloke expressing himself about the situation c’mon man. It was a fluff piece totally rehearsed with softball questions.
The way they had him playing in the boat with his family made me sick. Total propaganda to pull at the non supporters heart strings so the media can try and push our club through the dirt one more time.
Penrith never got this treatment when they hooked the Hook with 5 rounds to go, and they were well and truly cemented in the top 8 at that time.
At the start I was feeling sorry for the bloke and that he was harshly treated. But now I hope he never gets a job in the NRL again as he is doing himself no favours for his future.

Just to clarify one point Batteredflake as you have confused me with your posts.

Regarding the impact to naming names as per your request, if it was just me who is at risk of doing so then I would however other people and their families may be impacted.

The “wow” post wasn’t a comeback, it was genuine shock.
Other people and their family are being impacted by your accusations . If you cant give your name I can understand it so say nothing and give it to someone at the club who can and is prepared to back it up I thought my meaning was pretty obvious.

So BF, what's ya name? Who are you?
I honestly thought you were a bit smarter than this I will repeat and try to be clearer.... Me---> Fan No inside info .My posts are Purely Speculation and I think I always make that clear. I would say nothing but in my experience... say nothing... and very often exactly what you feared would happen happens and by time TRUTH comes out its too late . Deeds are done . Someone comes on here accusing morris of Dishonesty and Claims to Be in the Know ? Back it up with your name or let someone in club whose not afraid to take responsibility say it .. Morris hasnt hidden behind Anonymity nor has his mum or wife . I wonder Why Dino didnt accompany Morris out so he could help him defend or deflect any leading questions . No he puts it onto weidler was supposed to chase him ? Anyway if it really Floats your boat and you wish Ill give you my name in a PM if you ask. Cant see the point I represent no one and as I said am only speculating. What would it prove ?

It wasn’t. You’ve missed the point completely and I can’t be bothered explaining it. Have a good day.

They should do a follow up piece with bomber asking about relegating Fifita to the reggies when he was a far superior player to magoo.

Webster’s article in the Herald talking to Dino is a good read

Great read.
I like this dino.
Poor bomber isnt coming out of all this looking very professional.
The guy was thrust into one of the most critical jobs in world sport - Head coach.
In a sport that sells papers on rumour and controversey - the NRL.
And in a club which always carries a target for the media - the Sharks.
Taking over from a sinful coach who left baggage and probably wasnt much of a role model for that position in the time bomber was 2IC - the Flanno.
With a team/roster with its own set of challenges - chad moyza feefs et al.

Every story about bomber is preceeded with 'hes a top guy'. Thats never in question but man, he hasnt been shown in a great light these last few days.
"Pole position"..? Whats to be gained by making shit up? Is the media going to save your job if you build a glass fortress?
A one page document handed to dino about why he should keep his job??..What on earth could he put on there that everybody else isnt aware of. The board were 'underwhelmed'...oh dear.
Turning up to the meeting between dino and Orr when not invited shows the relationship with Orr. He obviously didnt trust him enough to handle it.
Chambers rang 3 times in one weekend and bomber hasnt picked up yet. This is a SOO star wanting to play for your club john. Bomber was told about it. Im sure he was busy but you just wouldnt read this story about Trent Robinson.

I hope bomber gets a gig where he can gain experience and develop his obvious skills but lm glad hes moved on from us.

Fluff one way, Fluff the other way. Where's the truth? You know what... who gives a shit.

Decision has been made, it's a professional cut throat arena. Get on board now and make your comments after the proof is in the pudding.

John Morris - quality bloke, did a reasonably good job given circumstances (which were very challenging) and we likely didn't get to see the best of him as his opportunity to make real changes and spend cap has now been given to what is believed to be a far superior candidate going forward.

Thankyou John and good luck.
