In 1978, while at Dapto, was the last player to represent Australia while playing for a NSW Country team. Joined St George the following year and after starting in reserve grade was promoted to firsts for round 5 and was arguably the most influential halfback in the competition for the rest of the season. When the Australian Rugby League retrospectively named the best player for each Grand Final from 1954 to 1985, Morris was named man of the match for 1979. Switched to the wing in 1983 and was an instant success, scoring 16 tries in 18 games. He was Dally M winger of the year in 1984 and 1987 (when playing for Easts) and scored Saints only try in the 1985 Grand Final. Was Saints leading tryscorer in 1980, 1982, 1983 and 1984. Sons Brett and Josh both played for St George and in Grand Finals: Brett for Saints in 2010 and Sydney Roosters in 2019; Josh for Canterbury in 2012 and 2014.
Played a total of 180 games for St George
