you remember players not for the number of games but for the tings they could do to win the games in which they played. So for memorable centres compare Josh Morris with the likes of Nigel Vagana. Nigel could break the line and importantly create tries that won us matches.

By the end of this year Josh Morris will have racked up 216 games for the Bulldogs.

At present he is our 9th (will move to 8th before end of year) capped player for the club (Tolman 17th Eastwood 19th).

Had he continued on for another season with the Dogs, if fit he could have hit 241 games for us by end of next season, which would have made him our 4th capped player (behind El Masri, Lamb, and Folkes).

Interesting by comparison Chris Anderson sits at 32nd with 133 games for the Dogs.

Also interesting is Josh Morris is our 3rd highest all time try scorer (El Masri and Lamb in front of him), with who else but Chris Anderson in 4th.
Mr. I
How could you leave Steve Mortimer out if your list?

I’m happy he didn’t stick around to break club records time to move on

Looks like we are going with youth. Jmoz is a great clubman for us and a great bloke..played many games for us and I applaud that.

At the end of the day I Wish him all the best, but I’m not to upset about him moving on after a great stint with the club..!!

The only reason Anderson is still affiliated with us is because he's Bullfrog's son-in-law. Bullfrog will ALWAYS have a place in the teams heart!

Stupid thing to say, he played in a premiership winning Team, he coached a Bulldog premiership team to a premiership and you say he is only affiliated to our club because he was an inlay to the mighty Bullfrog?? wake up to yourself!!

Jmoz and Franky were an awesome combo on that left side.

Great Video of his Highlights. No has the right to critical of Josh Morris, he has been a club great and any issues regarding playing style etc i feel has nothing to do with Josh Morris. He deserves to be held in high regard.

Pritchard has to be one of our best signings in the past 10 years
Best signing and the saddest day when he left. Could not believe we let him go... he should have retired with us.
