Dunbar Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Josh Morris has retired. He was good this year and so he may have made that decision to get out at the top of the game or he may have made the decision as he has felt his body starting to let him down... at 35 you can't blame him for either. But arguing that he is a good player is irrelevant, it's like saying Mal Meninga is better than a lot of Super League players.

Just because a player playes (played) in the NRL doesn't automatically mean that player is better than every single SL player - no matter who that player is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutherson is pretty overrated tbh - the others are top class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunbar Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 It's worth remembering that George Williams amassed more Dally M points than Josh Morris in 2020 and 2021 (despite coming home half way through the season in 2021). But according to our johnny, Williams was outclassed in the NRL and Morris was superb.

The fact that not one SL bothered to show any interest speaks volumes about what those who really know about players think about where Josh Morris is now. As an aside, i'm not really up with todays technology - can you tell us what a 'fone' is ?

graveyard johnny Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 yer your right- nobody would pay money to go watch a game if their team had morris and ferguson lining up at centre and wing for them - it wouldnt create any interest at all - best stick with tom briscoe for that see you later undertaker - in a while necrophile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
