Sorry to say but they've lost too much pace and for a winger that's what's needed, have to let them go.

Apart from Rona and Perrett.. Bmoz was 3rd highest try scorer for our club (with 10), despite only playing 11 games this season.

Jmoz had 6 tries.

They are both past their prime, mainly due to injuries but I do not think it is time to turf either of them. Unless you guys want us to go into full on rebuilding mode and not make the 8 for a few years anyway.

Jmoz is still good defensively, even if he lacks a bit in attack now.

Bmoz is still a weapon, but he needs to be left on the wing as his knees cannot handle all the running at fullback. Hopefully we have hardly any Sunday games next year or we have someone else to cover fullback when Mr Holierthanthou is off talking to the giant imaginary man in the sky.

We have bigger problems than the Morris bros. They definitely deserve a minimum of two more seasons.

Agree with others that Bmoz still has something to offer but the truth is Jmoz only had a few good years with us and that was a while back. I know it's important to them to play together so maybe they should head off to super league.

But we are the good guys of the league. We don't move players on like other clubs, we hang onto them and let them retire on their own terms.

I love how many players everyone just wants to let go. Unless they are off contract you simply can't do it unless you want to waste the salary cap on nothing.

Our backline needs to play with some more depth, Josh would be more effective like that as would pretty much every player in the squad. Josh lacks agility these days so his footwork is pretty much useless at the line even if he manages to push away from a defender. We need him running onto the ball with some depth so he can use his footwork at speed and rely on his balance and strength to challenge the defence rather than trying to use quick feet that he simply doesn't have. He could potentially move into the backrow if his body doesn't break down.

Brett is fucked, I told you lot the he can't handle fb as soon as we signed him. No surprise to see him fail to finish the game against the panthers. Club fucked up spending huge $$$ on him to try and play fb when he should have only ever been on the wing where he was simply the BEST. Just have to leave him on the wing and hope he can get back to his best.

No they are not imo....throw the best centre and winger in the nrl in our team this year and they would look shit house....theres only so much you can do when you only get the ball in traffic or dont get it all...the twins will do well with early ball and a decent game plan

Cancer has got to them too.

both are being wasted under Des.

both brothers under bellamy or skeletor would be try scoring machines.

Jmoz yes, bmoz no. Bmoz is still the same player only a little bit slower, jmoz has changed completely. Look at this try compared now

Josh performed this year in origin so I still think he has a bit left in the tank. Brett scored something like 8 tries in his first 4 games back so he's still all class - they just need more quality ball.

Defensively they are very solid. Jmoz is a rock at centre, that's why teams target the other side of the field and rip us there.

Our structure probably doesn't do their attacking form any favours. Des' attack structure makes it hard to get a read on the form and ability of some players

Josh was one of our best in the last few games hes certainly getting on but our problem is our game plan and halves and fullback
