Welcome back Niall Morris
Welcome back Niall!
I hope he can put his injury woe of the last year behind him and produce the goods for us. A great talent and a strong character.

Re: Welcome back Niall Morris
I was disappointed when he left Leicester, was one of my favourite players in the backs, great talent and always looking for work, good luck to him for the future.
Re: Welcome back Niall Morris
Was one of the conditions of Denis O'Brien's support for Jonny Sexton that Leinster must recruit a scrum half?. All of his radio stations are saying that Niall Morris is a scrum half.
Rugby is a good occasion for keeping thirty bullies far from the centre of the city.

Re: Welcome back Niall Morris
Good luck to him. He doesn't figure on my short list of 'most desired signing' but he brings a hugely competitive personality and a culture of ruthless performance in which he more than survived. Morris performed well up to requirements for Emerging Irish a couple of years ago and scored important tries for Leicester consistently.
Welcome back and good luck.

Re: Welcome back Niall Morris
He's a pacy winger. If he can stay fit, who knows? Definitely worth a punt in my opinion, especially after he got released from Leicester, I would have been amazed if we weren't talking to him. Hoped we would sign him and glad that we have. I'm still hopeful to see Kirchner / Dave K / McFadden shelved at times during the season to allow game time for Byrne at the very least, and if Morris is a wild card, I'll take that.

Well we saw the amount of gametime Marty got post 6n when we knew he was leaving, I'd be impressed by Leo's ruthlessness if that was also applied to other departing backs
Morris deserves credit too for the gametime he got with the competition he had: Agulla, Goneva, Scott Hamilton, Geordan Murphy, Tait, and in his first season there they Tuilagi amongst others too

Re: Welcome back Niall Morris
I remember we played London Irish in the Brook in preseason years back. Two players stood out in a pretty crappy game. Steffon Armitage and Niall Morris. Sorry to see him go then and happy to have him back. We'll have to see how much of the magic remains but any magic is better than playing Ferg.
Re: Welcome back Niall Morris
That was before he cut his hair. I'm a strong believer that rugby players with long hair are better than when they have short hair. We are getting the short haired version of Morris. Its pretty disappointing.jezzer wrote:I remember we played London Irish in the Brook in preseason years back. Two players stood out in a pretty crappy game. Steffon Armitage and Niall Morris.

Star Trek:TNG - Worf with short hair - bad series, Worf with long hair - good series
Thats offset though by DS9 - Sisko with hair - bad series, Sisko without hair - good series - and by Voyager - Janeway with long hair - bad series, Janeway with bob - good series

Metallica are the opposite
Grays strength was his hair, made him stand out and look good
BODs BT work has all been short haired
