| Quote: Chorlton RL "but shouldn't England matches be more of a test because you can't rely on Welsh or Irish players...?'"
That was a stupid point.
But the original point still remains.
Great britain is a different entity to england, so I don't see how you can lump the caps togther and add england ones onto british ones.
How many ENGLAND caps has morley had?
Schofield and sullivan both had more BRITISH caps.

| Morley has 30 caps for GB and Saturday's final will be his 20th England appearance (if selected).

I wonder if he's close to being the most capped english player then?
Because he simply can't be referred to as the most capped british players when he has 30 BRITISH caps and schofield and sullivan have 40+.
Schofield is a nob but he has a valid point.

He should take it up with the rfl behind closed doors though, and not spout about it, that's why he comes across as bitter.
Bitter or not though, the point remains valid.'"
It's not a valid point really since GB was disbanded, the point is that they are caps achieved at the highest possible international level. GB used to be that level, now England is.

| Sullivan and Schoffield are the most capped players for Great Britain, that records safe, Schoffields 3 caps for England give him 49 international caps in total.
Morley is the most capped Englishman at international level with 30 for GB and 20 for England, get over it!
What's the problem Gary?

| It all rather depends how you look at it.
GB caps are different to England caps. It seems like lazy thinking to lump the two together.
However we used to compete as England in the early part of the 20th century before becoming GB and then reverting to England again. I'd still keep the two apart, especially as some players were capped for both. England games were often seen as less important than GB caps in the past.

Get a grip.
I was just trying to understand the logic of the innane ramblings of a mad man.

As far as I know, the fact that Schofield and Sullivan are the GB Test record holders has never been in question.
Morley has simply made it to 50 international appearances, he is not taking any record from Schoey.

| Brilliant player who from a very young age was mixing it with the best, failed coach, poor pundit and now cast adrift by the sport so feels the need to grab headlines whenever he can. Sad.

| No reason why he couldn't have gone about this privately rather than trying to get himself more media attention. If he isn't wrongly accusing Wigan off being disrespectful at MOS award ceremonies.. He's bleating on about something else to get attention....
The guy was a great player and from what I've heard a great guy when it comes to helping people out in rugby league off the pitch. But he comes across as an absolute d1ck with the way he acts on twitter and in the media. Seeing him on the Super League show when he used to be a pundit used to drive me insane with his bias against certain teams.
You can argue he has a point, But GB have no been disbanded so It's hardly Morleys Fault. If he becomes the most Capped player internationally whether that be For GB, England or both combined, he deserves the plaudits for that. And Gary is trying his best to take that away from Morley and to keep one of the few things he achieved in Rugby League impossible to be beaten.

| It's hard to believe that he begrudges the record going to Morley who was, after all, a Leeds team-mate once upon a time.
Put it this way, if the situation was reversed, Adrian Morley wouldn't be whinging about it.
Perhaps he resents the sky-high reputation Moz has in the NRL following his spell with the Roosters, although to be fair Schofield's stock also remains high in Sydney following stints with Balmain and Western Suburbs.

| Just going off topic slightly here, does Morley's 50 caps include his infamous 12 seconds against Australia at the JJB?
