He’s performed consistently for his entire career including SOO & Kangaroos. So yeah he’s in that bracket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behave. 15 year career , tremendous consistency throughout and in fact just got better - even at 34 . Fourth highest try scorer , dual premiership winner , world cup winner . 23 tries in 18 tests , origin regular , team of the decade selection . Course he is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly a modern great jim, as with all claims of all time great it sometimes gets clouded by being a top player now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bromleybulldog Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Sad to see him injured. He's a top class player and has arguably been in the form of his life this season, even at 34. he's been the standout back for the Roosters this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiled Wiganer Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Very sad news, he always seemed a very fair player as well. Very very consistent. I hope he goes on to great things in the many years ahead as an ex player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graveyard johnny Posted May 3, 2021 Author Share Posted May 3, 2021 talk of the morris twins coaching as a double act- great minds think alike etc- now that would be interesting see you later undertaker - in a while necrophile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbruce Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Hope it’s not the end for him as he was in such good form. When I think of the Morris twins I always think of the time they were on opposite sides (going to say Dragons and bulldogs). A bit of a scuffle broke out in the game and they started a pretend fight between themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davo5 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Great player with a wonderful work ethic that enabled him to be one of the best wingers in the game at 34,wouldn’t write him off yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 He's been consistently one of the very best in his position for years and years. I think I read that he wanted to get into coaching when he hangs up the boots, so he won't be lost to the game if this injury is career-ending.

Eddie Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I’ve only had access to NRL on TV for a couple of seasons but have loved watching Morris in that time, sad to see it end like this for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubby Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 When he was over in 2013 with that Aussie WC side he was right up there with the best wingers of the modern era at that time. To keep playing at that level for so long is a credit to his professionalism. Great player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
