    yep, Morgan was the reason Semi dropped the ball with the line wide open, he also helped Semi drop a bomb which almost lead to a try and I'm I sure Morgan directing him to the side line when he ran out. 

    Semi is lacking confidence at the moment, hopefully a few wins will get him back to his block busting best.

    Morgan would have to have the worst skill set of any back in the league he can't catch or pass every week someone puts him into a hole & gets a 2 on 1 for him & he can't even make a simple pass

    Rozay, I disagree. Morgan is a keeper. I think he will develop into a serious centre. I am glad Tonga is gone and hope Morgan will continue to improve.
    As for that pass to Hayne, in fairness to Morgan, he got a shirt pull right at the moment he was about to pass and that saw the ball directed back a bit.
    You never know, Morgan might regress (we all saw Blair do it years ago) or not improve. But if he can continue to improve, his hole running is exceptional and he just needs to develop the smarts of setting others up. Give him the time I say.

    Ive said it for ages that Morgan is a rubbish centre. Horrible vision and timing and cannot catch to save his life. In saying that he would be a decent back up winger.
    I think if he put on some muscle they should try him out at hooker and just let him run iut of dummy half all.game

  He dropped a ball which he should have scored but apart from that he was pretty dangerous. He isnt getting any quality ball and he was outside of Morgan who is horrible

  Semi was pretty poor last night, but this is his first full season same as a few of the boys are learning on the job.  He is allowed one poor game.

    Not knocking him...I think he is great. Was just wondering if anyone knew if he might have a bit of an injury

    People latch on to the dropped ball from the Edwards pass (and also the dropped bomb) and label Radradra's game as poor rather than simply poor moments.

    That missed try was a true Barry Crocker moment for Semi but the hard work he did beyond that is so easily overlooked. Radradra churned out ~188m without a line break to his name. The big fella pretty much played as a prop coming out of our own half and did a phenomenal job. He deserves criticism for the bombed try but he had an important impact on the result last night - even if it wasn't the flashiest contribution.
