As even as a carpet!
Brett Morris the best/second best winger ever??
He is easily the best winger I have seen since I started watching in the early 90s. Some guys like Radrada, Sailor, Tuqiri, Hayne, for example, might have had higher peaks, but none had anywhere near the sustained excellence of BMoz.
I was pissed when Studs Up passed Beaver, but I was OK with the idea of BMoz passing him. It just shows you how remarkable Beaver's record is when an elite winger with a 15 year career can't pass him.
The Roosters always like a good whinge about the surface after injuries
The Sydney Roosters complained to NRL officials about the state of the playing surface at McDonalds Jones Stadium last weekend shortly before winger Brett Morris and front-rower Lindsay Collins were carried off with their season-ending ACL injuries.
News Corp can reveal the Roosters’ medical staff raised concerns about huge divots in the surface during the first half of the game against the Knights and that a complaint was made to the NRL’s ground manager, who included it in his official match report.
Ground staff replaced the divots during the half-time break but the Roosters raised further concerns during the second-half.
Even the Roosters’ head trainer had to repair divots during the game during breaks in play.
“There were big chunks coming up,” coach Trent Robinson said.
“Our medical guys mentioned it. Our trainer had to replace some of the divots while he was on the field.”
The NRL’s head of football Graham Annesley has confirmed complaints were made by the Roosters but denies the poor surface caused the crippling injuries.
Setting it up so they can apply for injury compensation.
