I think for is age in a team like ours he is far from past it !It was a cracked bone in the hand when he was out for 6-8 games its not like his ligaments and knees have gone.

First Ali (impact), now Dowes (a prop) you compare Morro to... Different roles and in Dowes case different position. You really are on the Morro love bus aren't you .

I would try and reason that the positions which Glenn plays are covered well and with depth but you prob will ignore and post another comparing Morro to Dale Morton ...

I don't recall anyone saying that; the facts are that GM has been a great captain for us but his contract has expired - if he isn't re-signed, it's because he doesn't fit into our plans going forward. It's not a great conspiracy, or a slight to his honour, it's just business.

It is just that a business, the club will after keep moving forward, and keep it's customer happy (The Fans), at the end of the day the club will do what it as too to make the club stronger...

In your world you can

Let's just clear a few points up hey.

1)Morro is not on the quota, he's been taken off it
2)He had a couple of average performances by his standard just before he was out injured, what people don't know is he played 2 games with broken ribs and a broken hand, nobody knew about the ribs because they didn't want to give the clubs we were playing somewhere to hit. (played injured because he didn't want to let his mates down)
3)I know he would take a pay cut to stay at wakey
4)Look at his injuries, they are all freak things, not like he has a bad knee or leg problem.

My question is : knowing the above and the quality he brings would you offer him a year deal.

Re: Staying or Going? : Sat Oct 01, 2011 11:50 am  

Morro staying depends on who we sign next week i think. With Southern, Ali, Frankie, Washbrook and PJ on board and Kirmond and Raleigh rumoured/likely there may not be room in the back row for Glenn.

Yes i think that if we can afford/fit him in he should stay, he adds a quallity to the squad both on and off the field and is the right type of bloke to have around young players.

Solomona played busted and went beyond a wage slip to save us but quite a few still think he just jumped ship and walked away, thats the side of players thats often overlooked from the terrace.

I know Morro as played many games when he should not have through injury, but he did.

Re: Staying or Going? : Sat Oct 01, 2011 11:59 am  

I can see kirmond moving into Centre with our lack of centres which could open a spot a SR. However, with Lauititi, Southern, Big Frankie and PJ with Trout and Spiers coming through I don't see where Morro will fit. Plus we need to reinforce our three-quarters, halfs and props.

Re: Staying or Going? : Sat Oct 01, 2011 12:01 pm  

The way Morro runs the ball in he could do a stint at Prop...
