Yeah he was due to play at GPS for his first season out of school. A mate of mine was in the Colts’ coaching set up there at the time. He got offered a scholarship at UQ from memory, which means he was open to conversations.Could be wrong, but I’m fairly sure years ago GPS thought they had Morrey ready to play for the Gallopers straight out of school. I knew there were wraps on him so when I heard he ended up heading to Uni I was pretty deflated.
He’s become one of my favourite players in the comp, good work rate and a great leader. Hopefully he gets some recognition either at this level or more professionally if he’s seeking that down the track.
Looks like you're right - will also be the first time the Selena Worsley Medal will be awarded as the women's equivalent:Thought the GF breakfast was tomorrow?
The Selena Worsley Medal will be awarded to the competition’s player of the season at tomorrow morning’s Grand Final breakfast event at the Regatta Hotel, alongside the Alec Evans Medal, awarded to the Hospital Cup’s Player of the Season.
I wonder if other super rugby franchises do this when a sibling of the reds 'agent of choice' is appointed to a reds game...Here's one for the forum to chew over this week other than the GF.....what are your thoughts on having the brother/sibling of player refereeing their Prelim Final? This occurred last weekend in UQ vs Brothers 4th grade game. Penalty count was overwhelmingly in favour of the sibling's team who won a close encounter. One team should have called it out when they knew and didn't, the other team should have not taken the field when they found out at the beginning of the game and requested a change in roster. I am the first one to support and defend our refs but this one appears to be a major stuff up.

It'll be very interesting to see who they can recruit on the playing side off the back those changesGarrick Morgan, Ray Thomas, Darren Rees and Graham Herlihy confirmed as Souths 1st Grade Coaching group for 2023. Congratulations to all and best wishes for 2023. A Magpie For Me!!
Morgan? Definitely played QPRNice hire at Souths. I just checked his Wikipedia page… he never played QPR? Just coached the breakers… Wikipedia may not be the greatest source to go to…
Read an article on that game this morning written by Jim Tucker. Tim Lane reckons he doesn’t know as hit got whacked by Jeff Miller late . Lane also quoted as saying Fitzgerald told him he would have awarded Wests a penalty anyway for the late hit by Miller.The eternal question from St Lucia is did the Tim Lane drop goal go over the cross bar in the 1985 Wests v Uni GF. Kerry Fitzgerald (RIP) says it did but plenty say it didn’t alas a victory for the Bulldogs on the day. I hope no bad karma is hanging around for Sunday at Suncorp.
I remember being at Ballymore on the day and have my theory of events of the day which objectively I will keep to myself.
Ben McCormack officially coming back to Brisbane now?
Garrick didn't play QPR because QPR didn't exist when he played for Souths. The Brisbane club competition was just known as A Grade or 1st Grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade etc. etc.Nice hire at Souths. I just checked his Wikipedia page… he never played QPR? Just coached the breakers… Wikipedia may not be the greatest source to go to…
