That's correct, the Aussies don't count the 4 games he played for the 'Super League' Kangaroos in '97 (3 v GB & 1 v NZ)

schofield is bitter because he never won any signifcant silverware in his career.

It eats away at him every day and he's desperate to protect his legacy as a great player. With no medals, the record caps is all he has to cling on to. So if morley takes that, what does schofield have left?

He must question it every day. ''Of course I'm a great, i'm gary schofield'', but then the other voice in his head says ''but you've no medals garry. All the greats have plenty of medals''

''I was just unlucky I never played in a good team'' he thinks back.

Then the voice again ''But even the likes of ian kirke and john stankevitch have more medals then you, you're nothing, you barely make a dent on the record books and after all your great service to the game you've been cast adrift to scrape a living''

I'm not suprised he's bitter.

He must be insecure about his career if he's spouting about stuff like this.

All great players and all deserve to be mentioned / recorded for all their efforts and talents, Schoey in his prime was pure class and has a right to feel dissapointed/annoyed.

I thought he had a case as some 'England' caps have really been for a second-string side playing Wales, France etc. whilst the elite are playing for Great Britain against Australia and NZ. However, from the list provided, it seems all Morley's caps were for the genuine national side so I don't have a problem with him having the record on that score. The only anomaly is, as noted by a previous post, the status of the 1997 appearances for GB which aren't counted as test matches by Australia but seemingly are by GB.

I don't really know what he wants to achieve out of all this. More importantly, I don't care. Records are always there to be broken and the irony is he sounds like a broken record.
