Valid point, awful timing.

Precisely.

If I'm honest I'm starting to find present-day Schofield very sad. He's like the bitter old man sitting alone in the pub every day, spitting bile and angry nonsense; furious at the world and it's perceived crimes against him.

If he could think before he spoke he could remain a legend even after his playing days. Unfortunately his track record speaks for itself...but if you ask him, it's everyone else's fault.

I don't see the harm in discussing yourself in the third person, Sheldon never would.

Im embarrassed for him. He's becoming the laughing stock of the sport.

He hasn't lost a record at all though, has he?

Isn't Morley about to become the most capped Englishman of all time counting England and GB caps. He's not the most capped GB player of all time; that's still Sullivan and Schofield. It's a different record isn't it?

As an aside, how exactly is he going to 'lobby' the RFL. A strongly worded letter? An email? Maybe a call to Nigel Wood? Perhaps he's going to get a mate to write a piece in a local rag? If I was the RFL I would literally tell him to F off. What's he going to do in return?

FACT: Morley is only on 49 caps after tomorrow anyway?

You can't coun't the 2003 test against Australia when he was sent of in 12sec for taking Robbie Kearns head off?

i cringed for him.... How undignified and pathetic.

he just seems to get worse and worse.

He may have a decent point

There is no doubt today that an England cap has the same validity as a GB cap did as GB is no longer a test team. But a few years ago, players were winning England caps as a second string/development team just as the Knights team is now. I don’t think an England cap in these circumstances should be considered the same as a GB cap

With respect to Morley, without going through his full international career, I don’t know if he has such caps but if he does then Schofield has a perfectly valid point for me

Even better. Its a shame Morley has mellowed somewhat in his old age.

Hmmm, a referee with the balls to send off a player in an international. Shame we didn't have one of those in the last couple of weeks.

I read somewhere that they have rejigged all the figures to take those England fixtures where it was 2nd string team out of the international cap rankings.


Its fairly simple, Schofield has played 49 times for his country at the highest international level, as has Morley - it doesnt really matter what the name of the team was specifically at that time.

Cool - in that case Morley will rightly be the record holder
