Batman and Robin

That’s really sad news for league fans. Michael Morgan was one of those really tough and talented players who was likeable, down to earth and I’m sure a great team mate. Just what the game needs at the moment.

Sad to see @michaelmorgan00 career end this way but he will retire as one of the great @nthqldcowboys I have always loved that Michael showed local kids that you can grow up in NQ and make it all the way to being one of the best in the game. https://t.co/bEJpZQhA4R

Thanks for everything you've done for the @nthqldcowboys, from 20's all the way through to the pinnacle of the NRL. A local boy made good. Love to see it. Disappointing way to go out but so much to look forward to. All the best in retirement Morgo. #rideemcowboys pic.twitter.com/R2e15Wwv6y

Well done on the career Michael. Thanks for giving this commentator plenty of fantastic moments to call, even going back to Intrust Super Cup days. @FOXNRL @fanfoxleague @michaelmorgan00

What Michael Morgan did for us on the field will never be forgotten, but his work off the field with the Road to Resilience project, in honour of his good mate Alex Elisala, is a more accurate reflection of the man. All the best in retirement, Morgs. #ridemcowboys
