Still no blog. I think the club may have told him to look elsewhere for another contract. I hope not, if fit, Morro would be exactly who we need on the pitch.

He has had too many injuries for me. A great player and leader when fit, but we can't afford to have our leaders not on the paddock at the moment.

He won't be on peanuts either so again, we free up some cash and a quota space.

Burgess buggering off to the NRL in a swap deal will gather more pace.

I just hope we don't replace him with some random Cas/Wakey/Hudds reject.

Last time I looked, the Wakey, Cas and Hudds rejects were doing a lot better than our sorry bunch

Thats because all their rejects are with us now.

Except if they have not left their clubs they can hardly be described as "rejects" then can they?

That's the key bit.
Unfortunately we can ill afford a high earer to be sat in the stands

Exactly, I said while ago that with all our promising youngsters in the back row I couldn't see resigning both Menzies and Morrison as a realistic option. If we have resigned Menzies (have I missed the official announcement by the way or is that still unconfirmed?) the club might have taken the same view and his injury record probably hasn't helped his case. One of the best players to play for Bradford IMHO but I think he might be elsewhere next year, which will be a shame but might be the most sensible call. Wakey and Featherstone (!) have been mentioned on other threads as possible destinations for Morrison.

He's depressed by the cricket

Maybe a few of the young boys coming through will get a start now and give us that bit more energy that maybe we are lacking at times during games.

I wonder if there's a veiled dig in there at some?

Blogpost includes two paragraphs of what seem like pretty frank and honest observation, from one of the few guys who can hold his head high in a team of general underperformers. I suspect few on here would take issue with what he said since he seems to be echoing general sentiment? Some pertinent extracts:

Morro wrote:

There aren't any positives we can take for the past two weeks and we are letting ourselves and the fans down very badly...

You agree with the fans then, rather than with your head coach who came across as being in denial? Maybe your head coach would have attracted less derision had he been as candid as you.

Morro wrote:

...we weren't very smart and it cost us. In the second half we played like we didn't know each other, which is very worrying.

And again. Nail. Head.

Morro wrote:

Each week we all keep saying we are going to turn it round and hopefully we can do it this weekend because we need to...

Yup. Sounds like confidence is shot, tbh. A home win against Wigan would probably do wonders (until we then go on to lose against Salford and Celtic again...

Morro wrote:

...The one thing that has been good is the team spirit. The boys are sticking together and we have said that no matter how much bad press we get or negative comments we've got to stick together and try and come through the other end...

Encouraging if true, as suggests no trouble in the camp. But all the sticking together counts for nothing if we see more of the same on the park. And as have the fans - but we need something to believe in right now.

Morro wrote:

...Believe me we are a much better team than we are showing at the moment. We have got the quality there to win these games and we are just not doing it...

We know, and we sort of noticed that. See above!

Morro wrote:

The really interesting bit. Is this Morro's hope, or is it proxy-for-Macca? Either way, again he's agreeing with the prevailing opinion on here. And by implication Morro is criticising some of his fellow players (and too right!). Don't think he would have said this unless he thought it likely to happen - unless he does not agree with the head coach. I suspect though we'll not see too many changes until we've lost another game or two and the play-offs are mathematically gone.

At least someone is telling it how it is!
