Brett Morris retires as one of the greats

Roosters winger Brett Morris has hung up the boots at the age of 34, bringing to a close one of the great rugby league careers.

Morris's 276th NRL game, in round eight this year, was his first as Roosters captain but ended in disaster when he suffered an ACL rupture late in the clash at Newcastle.

His 176 tries in 276 club games for the Dragons, Bulldogs and Roosters trails only Ken Irvine (212), Billy Slater (190) and Steve Menzies (180) in this country.

He won premierships with St George Illawarra in 2010 and with the Roosters in 2019 after debuting at the Dragons in 2006.
