Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2825719, member: 1899"] It's absolutely ridiculous that people are making assessments on Morgan's form when the Cowboys have so many players missing. If you take out the first choice fullback, the first choice dummy half and the star halfback, of course the attack is going to suffer. Even JT struggled and he's one of the greatest of all-time. While I'd have to wrack my brain (ie dig through Rugby League Project, great website, check it out) I can't think of any instance where he was able to carry his side to victory minus the type of players the Cowboys were missing. Hell, I can't remember Lockyer doing it too many times either. The only game that comes to mind is the Round 9 2010 performance against Melbourne in Melbourne...and that's Darren Lockyer. I'm sure there were other games because c'mon, it's Locky, but you get my point. It's no small feat and more often than not players lose in these situations. Granted, Morgan hasn't made the best start to 2017, but then again the only five-eighth with any considerable form is Widdop and honestly I'd take Morgan 9/10 over Gareth. Last night may have been one of those instances where I'd take Widdop. The Cowboys were at sixes and sevens all night in large part to the awful service from dummy half and they weren't able to play with the same control they're renown for. [/QUOTE]
