Sad preacher nailed upon the coloured door of time;
Insane teacher be there reminded of the rhyme.

Political ends, as sad remains, will die.:1602.jpg |

As frequently posted: possibly with a view to using his experience and knowledge in coaching: we do need a defensive coach and a "player-coach" would lead in more than one way.

28 appearances on field or off the bench in 2012, was still GB Captain up until a 2011 , is still Club Captain for Warrington.
If you determine the Noble ' 3 golden rules ' for signing Mercenaries, he declared, are no use to anyone'" Quote: BartonFlyer "it is a case of getting value for money by spending the right amount upon the right players. '"
2 ' You have to be better than what we've already got ' Answer YES , if fit
3 ' We need ' Leaders ' to bring a winning mentality to the club & develop the youngsters ' Answer YES
I think this is a Koukash signing more than a Noble signing , anyone who listened to the BBC 5 Live Radio program when Noble , Koukash & Morley were all guests , Koukash was effusive with praise about Adrian , as a Icon , so any signing I would expect would be as much centred on the impact off the pitch with community , marketing , sponsors & schools with a highly decorated ' Old Boy ' in the club .

A disappointing signing, if true (and it is only a rumour, remember). I thought with the new ownership in place, the club would have moved beyond the sentimental signings, and this would just be a sentimental signing. I don't think he is any better than what we've already got nowadays, and the only bum he's likely to put on a seat is his own on a treatment table.
Don't do it!

We need one for the countless fans that are unable to get tickets due to overwhelming demand. |

I've never met Adrian Morley, but my wife has met him twice and she tells me that he is a lovely bloke. He would be a great ambassador for the club, in a similar way that Terry O'Connor is for Widnes and Barry McDermott is for Leeds. But as a player, his recent spells of injury are a clear indication that his career has gone beyond twilight. He's 36 next week (happy birthday Ade, if you're watching).
Not all top players are capable of passing on their knowledge and ethos to others. I'm not aware of him being involved in coaching in the amateur game so I would be doubtful of his ability and willingness to take on such a position. But if he was, SCR might concede fewer tries! And that might be a relief to us all!
