Locker Room Chats: With Will Morgan

This week we sit down with our much loved 1st XV team Loosehead Prop, Will Morgan. We think he's got some pretty good answers, so let's dive right in...

1. Who is your favourite sports hero and why?
“There could be a few on the shortlist... but I’d have to say my Grandad.. Jimmy Payne.. he played football at both Liverpool and Everton, and got a run out for England. So he was a legend to me.”

2. What are three reasons you like being part of a sports team?

- “There’s plenty more people to choose from for a boat race, as I’m as much use as a handbrake on a canoe at downing drinks.
- Camaraderie at Penrith is class.. great bunch of lads.. and Pricey.
- Sharing success in a team takes some beating.”

3. What are your favourite rugby union and rugby league teams?

“I enjoy watching the glorious flowing high level charismatic intricately skilled rugby played by various Penrith teams. Rugby league wise, any super league game is normally a good watch. Although I don’t follow any particular team.”

4. What would you say to someone considering joining Penrith RUFC to convince them?
“Don’t know how much convincing it would do, but I’d just recommend if they were selected in the same squad as Matt Allinson, to fetch a padlock for their bag.”

5. What is your favourite rugby related memory?

“It’s got to be when Hawkins got banged clean out while innocently waving his flag on the touch line. Classic.”

Get to know Will, quick fire questions:

6. At which store would you like to max out your credit card?
“Not many shops do clothes that fit me. So, it would have to be Go Outdoors, where I could get a 4-man tent to fit instead.”

7. What was your favourite TV show growing up?

“Used to love a bit of Thomas the Tank. No Cockney rhyming slang reference related either.”

8. What is your favourite comfort food/meal?
“You’re asking a prop about comfort food. Come on. Have some respect. Probably a salad.”

9. Do you have any strange phobias?
“Probably heights, or naked laps in front of packed clubhouses. Not keen on them.”

10. Have you ever accepted a dare that you have later regretted?
"I dare you not to score a try this season Will...... ?‍♂‍?"

11. What are three things still left on your bucket list?

"1. Buy a bigger bucket.
2. Take some things out of the bucket.
3. Do some cool stuff."

12. If you could have one superpower, what would you choose?
“I quite like the idea of being able to breath underwater - Aquaman style. Just need longer hair and I’m pretty much Jason Momoa.”

Big thank you to Will for sending through his answers this week! Will has asked to nominate Craig Price next week so if there's any questions you want asked... send them in!
