A carton of Corona will spark a crosstown sibling shootout tomorrow night, as the Morris brothers vie for tryscoring supremacy. Josh and Brett each stand on 19 tries, 2 behind injured Tigers tank Taniela Tuiaki. But brotherly bragging rights are of much greater importance, especially with a carton of Mexico’s finest on the line.
Sweet, sweet beer“Finishing top tryscorer means utterly nothing to me,” Bulldog Josh said on Thursday. “I just want to beat Brett.” For his part, Brett said he would be “praying to God that little s.o.b. doesn’t win. Hopefully he’ll blow out an ACL or be diagnosed with some non-genetic disorder that rules him out of the game altogether.”
Also in the running is Dogs winger Bryson Goodwin, who has 19 tries but was suspiciously tryless playing outside Morris against the Warriors.
The Dogs can seal the minor premiership tonight with a win, a stunning turnaround from last year’s wooden spoon. Bulldogs CEO Todd Greenberg is in negotiations with David Gallop to have the NRL chief present the JJ Giltinan Shield and the carton of Coronas together, should events pan out in the Dogs’ favour.
The consolation prize“The Bulldogs are in the box seat so it’s reasonable for us to bring the shield and case to the SFS,” Gallop said. If things change, Slippery and I will head over to Jubilee, though I can’t guarantee there’ll be many Coronas left by the time we get there.”
