In a later interview he said he has always wanted to play for his home town team, make your own minds up?!!'"
Personally I think he is a cracking player, and I think when he comes back, if comes back to SL he will go to the highest wages offered. And probably the best prospect of wining trophies with the best wages.

| i would love gaz back at the rhinos when he returns from the nrl,
i hope that we don't fall for the same mistake we did when we only offered moz a 2 year deal,believing that he couldn't manage the 4 year contract that he was after,one that the wire subsequently offered without haste and have been proved correct

| Hindsight's a great thing though isn't it? Morley signing a four-year deal with Wire did seem a big risk to virtually everybody at the time. Glad that it paid off for both sides, but I can't blame GH for 'missing out' on that particular deal.

The last 4 years have been a disaster for Leeds

I seem to remember that before Morley signed for Wire Salford fans were hopeful he'd see out his career with them. Similarly, I suspect that in reality the Ellis-Cas thing will only happen if there are no offers from bigger clubs.

Or bigger offers from any other club. No way could Cas compete for him at present despite his stated desire to finish his career here. However at the end of next season two of our most costly (yet least valuble) players will be out of contract and thereafter he would be very affordable.

you don't need a wink in response to my post as your preaching to the converted here.
i would have still loved moz in our side though regardless of our clubs success',
are you saying that as we have been so successful that we couldn't have signed players that would have made us even stronger?

I guess what I meant was that with the salary cap the upshot would have been that had Morley
come in, one or two players would have had to leave. now we may have still been successful, but one of our strengths has been a deep squad

| I read the same article in yesterday's Yorkshire Post. He says he has no ties to any club over here when he comes back. He as much as dismissed the Cas rumours by saying "well, I wasn't good enough for them as a junior...."
As he'll be 33/34 when his deal is up and will be heading to the highest bidder I suspect he'll be a Wolfe and good luck to him, and them.

Don't forget Leeds also missed out on getting Iestyn Harris back.
This was a mistake as Iestyn led the Bulls to the 2005 title while Leeds lost two finals.

And look at the Bulls now. We had the emergence of Burrow and Mags and they have continued bringing success to the team. Im glad Harris never came back

I would imagine that GH actually thinks that the fact that Iestyn never returned to us and went to the Bulls instead was actually a financial masterstroke
I would have thought that you would have been better asking the Bulls fans what they thought regarding their club since his much trumpeted signing and under the Rhinos noses, as I'm sure you'll get a clearer answer there Sally

I'm not sure if this is comedy genius or for real.
