Not wanting to sound like ngbc but Morrison still has it for me. Lauititi plays a different game altogether. Two tough second rowers to ad some grunt has got to be good for us. We ain't got the biggest props so need to compensate. I agree were desperate for a quality 7 but to let Morrison go wouldn't be our smartest move ever

You say we haven't got the biggest props.

We don't have enough

We have a tough cookie SR in bluey. We have 2 rising stars in johnson and Moriano. We have a impact second rower in lauititi who can offload some ball.

A second rower should in no way be compensating for props!

We have 3 spots left. One needs to be a prop(???), one a standoff( John???) and one a back (Tongia).

Morro, I like the guy and he was quality at beginning of the year but has progressively slipped more pens in and put in average games himself as seasons gone on.

The money he will command for his position we have depth in, at his age and a quota spot. My head says no but I wish him well.

Still think we will get smith at 7, although my mate is convinced we will finish up with burrows who ( allegedly ) isn't over the moon at being on the bench all the time.

Do people think lautiti would have put morros work in this year? The answer is no. He told many players where to run what to do this year. He was a tackling machine and his work ethic was brilliant he gave everything for this club a player like morro could have easily turned his back. Like Al I totally agree people have short memories its pathetic comparing him with some of the players he as played with this year they shouldnt even be on the same field. Yet again with the exiles he could have been man of the match just shows what quality he still has. Fickle fans who cannot be bothered watching how hard Morro as tried this year I cant be bothered listening to you! Enjoy your Hendos, Smiths, Howarth (Mr Worldbeater) do me a favour !!!

1. You start comparing Ali to morro. They are different players altogether with different roles on field.

2. Could easily have turned his back? - he gets paid.

3. Exiles - showed quality.. Shame after exiles we saw very little of it for rest of season bar odd game.

We all know morro tries hard but his injury, mixed performances, quota spot, age should all be a consideration. I don't see how some fans believe he has carried the team this year.

Glenn did ok last year but he's not going to be able to go on like steve menzies imo. He's starting to become a player whos off the field more than on it and when that happens its time to get shut. He missed quite a few games last year through injury probably wasnt value for money on the contract he will have been on.

Re: Staying or Going? : Thu Sep 29, 2011 6:53 am  

just cant believe what some people on here see or want for that matter - Glenn Morrison 21 appearances this year, how can that be off the field more than on it, he was absolute quality in the exciles game, and has been for us maybe in a different way, same number of games as menzies, more than rob purdham, just one less than jon wilkin, three players in similar positions doing similar jobs, i know they all have something different but are we to class these as players that spend more time off the pitch, and the injury a broken bone in the hand could happen to any player youong or old.
