Morris replied "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't, to be honest, "If it was the first time it happened to me I could brush it off, but it's the second time I've been to Brookvale and my knee has dug in and I've had an injury as a result. As a player you work so hard to get out there, and to have this happen as a result of the ground is frustrating. Don't get me wrong, I love being able to play at suburban grounds. I'm a country boy and any time that happens I love that stuff. But it's frustrating that this has happened as a result of the surface".
