The Lurker - Brett Morris

[Saint_JimmyG]

Nene will be our top try scorer this year ... hopefully with something near 20 as opposed to 10. He has endured being outside McCrone/Frizell/Aitken none of whom were able to get him the ball .. As a result his try scoring was minimal. But in terms of metres/kick returns/tackle breaks he was easily our best outside back. Nene's defence was the result of Aitken not the other way around. I am expecting a very very different right edge attack this season ... Frizz will be our top scoring forward and Nene our top scoring back. Would prefer a centre between them that actually knows what passing is but baby steps.

Nene showed that he at least is capable of scoring a try that others in our team are not. Nighty managed to catch passes as he was falling over the line. The majority of his tries scored from 5m or closer and very very few from outside the 20.

Even Nene's work in the FKKL try in round 11 showed something that Nighty is no longer capable of when he made the break up field before finding Lafai who then found KFFL. Even that before we talk about the Anzac game. Nene's season was definitely sub par last year but I think this season in a team that will actually use its right edge in attack we will see something a lot different from him.

Do you recall MacDonald completely bombing a 'sitter' against Penrith (round 25) last season?

If he's the team's most potent try scorer, God help us.

In a similar position, Nightingale would've easily scored - Morris too - a winger's atypical try.
