He was invited by Blues coach Laurie Daley to attend the rest of the series, and was even on hand to give replacement wing Will Hopoate his jersey for win in game two.
But Morris admits it is not the same as being part of the on-field glory.
"Laurie was really good - he brought a couple of the injured blokes in for the last couple of days at both camps and still got us involved, which was good," Morris said.
"But it's not the same as being out there playing with the boys.
"It's something I haven't felt, and the last thing I need to and want to tick off in my career."
Should he come through the Bulldogs' next two NRL games unscathed, Morris is certain to retain his spot for game two at ANZ Stadium in Sydney on Wednesday, June 21.
It is an opportunity he hopes to make the most of, given he only made the side after injuries to incumbent left winger Josh Mansour and Manly candidate Tom Trbojevic.
"Obviously with a few injuries my name got tossed back up there and even still, I probably wasn't certain that I was going to be picked," Morris said. "To get that call from Laurie initially was a bit of a shock.
"He picked me for a reason and I wanted to go out there and prove that reason."
