Paul Morris (rugby league, born 1962)


Paul Morris is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played for the Balmain Tigers, Newtown Jets and the St. George Dragons in the 1980s.
A five-eighth, Morris grew up in the Sydney suburb of Ermington and started his NSWRFL career at Balmain, where he played two first-grade games in 1980.
Morris switched to Newtown in 1981 and got his opportunity in first-grade late in the season, forming a partnership with Tommy Raudonikis in the halves. Throughout the 1981 finals series he remained Newtown's five-eighth, which included the grand final loss to Parramatta, in which he also served as goal-kicker.
When Newtown folded he finished his NSWRL career with two seasons at St. George in 1984 and 1985, making a total of 18 appearances in first-grade.
