It's the most barren try-scoring run of his NRL career, but as long as the wins keep piling up, St George Illawarra winger Brett Morris couldn't care less.

The Australian and NSW Origin flyer has gone seven NRL games without finding the stripe, a stunning run of outs for a man who scored 45 tries in 49 games over the past two seasons.

In fact, the last time he went more than two games without a try was in 2006 when it took him until the sixth game of his NRL career to finally get a top-grade four pointer under his belt.

Morris hasn't found an NRL tryline since the start of last year's final series, with a double against Wigan in the World Club Challenge his only points on the board.

But with a premiership title to his name and the Dragons making another strong start to the season, Morris is unconcerned with his lack of production heading into Sunday's SCG meeting with Canterbury.

"The tries are bonuses to your job - it's good to see Jase (opposite winger Jason Nightingale) scoring some tries, I tipped Jason to be leading tryscorer this season so he's doing me well so far," Morris said.

"Our attack on the right's improved out of sight, with Gaz (Mark Gasnier) and Nightingale, the combination they worked on at the back end of last year has really helped this year as well.

"... I'm just out there doing my job. If you get the tries you're happy, if not you're still out there doing a job and you're out there for a reason.

"I haven't been too disappointed, obviously it's nice to win."

There is little doubt the Dragons have attacked to the right more often in 2011 than at any other time during coach Wayne Bennett's time at the club, with Gasnier's brilliant flick pass for Nightingale's four-pointer against Newcastle evidence of their flourishing combination.

In the same timespan as Morris' barren run, Nightingale has scored seven tries, with Morris conceding teams are better equipped to handle the once prolific Dragons left edge.

"They've seen what we can do, we've had the combinations there for the last few years and they know what we throw at them," Morris said.

"They've come up with ways to adapt, we've got to do the same thing."

While Morris' attacking game may need some work, he is sure to be spending plenty of time working on his defence this week as he prepares to confront Bulldogs sensation Jamal Idris.

"He's a great attacking weapon, he's a big powerful lad, he's one of their go-to men," said Morris, who confirmed twin brother Josh would not be making a surprise comeback from a knee injury for the Bulldogs.

"It's something we'll have to look at in videos over the next couple of days."
