| I didn't notice until after the game but he was on reserves team sheet a couple of weeks back when we played Hull who had a big quality reserve side out but if he played can't say that he stood out.

| Hell most likely be in the starting line up once the top 4 is sorted, we need to be patient, he's getting close, and hell be hungry as hell.
I know this season isn't done, but im looking forward to next season, Morris, JWH, Moore and Punchard are the future of the club, and will only get better.

| Without knowing the physical size of the lad it is hard to comment, however does any one remember Olly Marnes getting wiped out by Dean Sampson at Castleford , he was never the same player after, I seem to remember he sited work commitments for irregular appearances after that, then later turned out for Halifax Rugby Union for a while.
I am not saying the same would happen, and you can t wrap them in cotton wool, but it is sensible to protect him if it can be done this year.

When I started this it was only a question as to see if he was ready. If he isnt fair enough.

| Uptonfax you make a very fair and valid question, and a reasonable one to ask, not all little guys have needed protection from the off, Rob Burrows for one. So a lot can come down to individual confidence, maybe he feels he is not quite ready for it.
Unless he comes out and publicly tells us we will have to wait for RM to make that decision.

I've read that he is desperate to play,so you can discount that angle.

| Morgan did play against Hull FC but he didn't stand out.
I think by throwing a teenager into the mix who physically would get bullied isn't the solution to our half back problems.
Unfortunately due to the dire state of the reserve grade competition, he probably won't develop into a Fax first teamer very quickly.
In my honest opinion the club should allow the players to dual reg with an amateur side (Which is allowed) to further their ability and progression.
One game every 5-6 weeks simply isn't enough...

| Morgan is 2 years off this league nowhere near strong enough better keeping him in the reserves or letting him have some game time in champ 1 just to see where he is. When he came on at Widnes you could see how weak he was no need to push him he has bags of time. INOFFSKI1 what a load of e you talk jonno has more try assists than another in our team we are a lot better team with him than without. I know he will be away next year its our lost along with quite a few others, next year will be a hard 1 with a lot of building to do could struggle next year hope not to my knowledge there is at least 6 going

| I noticed that Chester Butler & Luke Nelmes played for South Wales against Toronto yesterday. When ready, we have that option for Morgan to give him some 1st team experience before stepping up into our 1st team.
As these two both get into our 19 man squad quite regular, the fact Morgan featured for our reserves is a fair indication as to how far off being ready for the 1st team he is. Also, lets not forget Woodburn-Hall has been featuring at stand off so we are trying things out.
I do think we've been unfortunate. We release Moore and get a fee which, at the time, seemed like a nice bit of business with the plans to try Woodburn-Hall out in half backs. We then lose Salts, Heaton & Kaye through injury and Connor gets a promotion at work. Hindsights a wonderful thing now that decision appears to have backfired but I doubt it would have been made if we had a crystal ball to forsee the future

| Don't think Morgan is far away... Probably an issue of size, which to be fair I've always been brought up on if you're good enough you're old enough (or big enough)...I do think what happens in this day and age clubs sign kids with natural ability and then like to coach it out them
