Will be interesting to see how the players respond to this. Apparently Morris is well liked by them.

Well that will either fire them up for the rest of 2021 or they’ll have a melt down.
I watched some of the replay of the Roosters game this morning & their young halfback had a blinder & won them the game. He’s 18.
Chill out brother. Give Sullivan a few weeks to get his fitness and timing up to speed then see where we are at. Even with a loss today we’re still going to be sitting in the 8 and a win...
As a replacement for Clune, or should Macca go down and Hunt moved to 9.
I know the Clune rumour has been rubbished but where there is smoke there is fire. He would be a good depth signing in that case or if Macca got injured, Hunt moved to 9 etc. I really hope Sullivan gets a run personally but hammys can be hard to get over, Hunt also has a pretty badly broken leg, one more injury and we are very short.
This is looking like another astute signing by Hook. We get to keep Clune & we get McGuire on a discount for 1.5 seasons.
MCGUIRE COULD HAVE PLAYED LAST GAME FOR COWBOYS
In other news, Josh McGuire could have played his last game for the Cowboys with the experienced forward expected to make a move to the Dragons by early next week.
McGuire (illness) has been ruled out of Sunday’s game with the Tigers and Read reports a departure from Townsville is imminent.
“The Josh McGuire negotiations continue with the Dragons,” he said on Triple M on Saturday.
“The likelihood is that it will be finalised at some point, if not over the weekend, early next week.
“He won’t play this weekend, he’s actually got an infection I believe in his elbow and he would have been 50/50 to play anyway.
“I think they’ve just decided that he’s probably not going to be there next week, he hasn’t played a lot of footy lately, it’s best to persist without him this weekend.
“I expect that in the coming days there will be an announcement he will be moving to St. George-Illawarra.”
There were reports of a player swap involving Adam Clune and Jake Clifford but the two clubs are set to come to a different agreement.
“The bigger issue there was money, because he’s (McGuire) on a big deal next year,” Read said.
“Basically the two parties had to agree on an amount the Cowboys would put in next season to make the deal palatable to St. George. That’s what they’re working on at the moment, finding an amount of money both sides can agree with.”
I agree Hunt is a 9 but make no mistake if went down and we had some depth in the halves he would come into consideration through necessity with BB out end of story.
If Norman was doing a job, Macca was out for the season and BB medically retires. It is without question easier to manufacture a new halves parter for Norman rather than a new hooker.
Mate it’s not my idea. I have made it more than clear I want Hunt to remain our 7 and I hope to god Macca doesn’t get injured. But if he does, it will definitely come into consideration. No questions asked. Instead of getting all smart, why not tell me who would be our 80 minute hooker if Macca was injured? It is a scenario we don’t want but you can bet it will be an option. I’ll wait for your answer, In the event Clune was gone, Macca injured I’d go Sullivan, Norman, Hunt. I will await your ideas or await the game.
Hook is tighter with money than a Scottish Rabi
