Biography
Paul Morris (born 8 September 1962) 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.
