I don't think thats fair really if the club are telling him to speak to other clubs. He probably wants to stay.

So we give Sykes an extension and let Morro go. Go figure.

Different positions though. I'm not worried about players leaving as at the moment something needs to change. It just depends on which players are coming in.

Unfortunately it is the wrong players that are leaving.

Really? That mind must be unhinged!

What's he done wrong?

Although he has had his fair share of injuries whilst with us I still feel he might be worth another gamble on a 12 month deal. We could be looking at Solomona, Morrison, Newton and Cook all leaving our pack. So far we have only added Hall.

I agree. Morrison fit for 50% of the year is better than most other second rowers in the league being fit all season.

I'll be sad to see him go. One of the real mega grafters we've seen in the last few years, and right up there with Peacock, Gartner and Forshaw for mine.

He's one of our best players when he's on the field, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be very often these last 2 seasons. I wouldn't be suprised if this was Morrisons last season at the club.

Yearly Statistics
Year..... Pld... T
2009..... 8..... 4
2008..... 10... 3
2007..... 23... 10

Diminishing returns. Awesome player when fit, but can we trust him to make more games than he misses next year?? If we could then resign him, but Im not sure we can.

And would you rather resign Menzies or Morrison, as i dont think we'll be resigning both IMO.

Indeed, it is unlikely we'll be able to find a similar quality player who can provide us with the impact that he can. Perhaps we have secured someone else, in which case fair enough.

However his latest injury was down to him being prepared to put his body on the line. If it was his knee's that kept going or re-occurrence of old injuries then no I wouldn't retain him.

I just feel that players like Whitehead, Olbison and other young forwards can only benefit training and playing alongside professionals like Glenn. With young guys like Whitehead getting more gametime next year, I feel it is a risk we can afford. I'd rather have him playing for us than against us next year.

To yours maybe, but I seriously doubt any other human.

RAT??

Shame on you.
