Former Sharks coach John Morris came back to haunt his old club at the weekend - and he could be set to inflict even more misery. As assistant coach of South Sydney, Morris played a key role in constructing the game plan for the Rabbitohs' fine win over Cronulla on Saturday night. Now he shapes as a vital figure in the battle for rising Sharks backrower Teig Wilton. At least half a dozen clubs, including premiers Penrith, are believed to be interested in Wilton. But Morris just happens to be Wilton's uncle and that relationship will give the Rabbitohs a massive edge in the fight for his services. Cronulla has already begun talks to extend Wilton but with so much interest from rival clubs, the wide-running forward is likely to hold off making a decision anytime soon and bank on his price rising. The Rabbitohs see Wilton as an ideal runner on the left edge outside Cody Walker and are set to make a big play for the robust forward.
