Should Salford try and sign Adrian Morley for next season? I think even though he's certainly not getting any younger this would be a great signing for the club. We now seem to have the cash to afford better wages and with us losing Cashmere offer us the same, if not more.
Granted he is getting on but he must still have something as only last year he was the England Captain on a tour. I think having a through and through Salfordian who has a great reputation in the game would be a master stroke move
I also think he would buy in to the Ethos that MP is trying to sell with making us a real community club and having Morley driving this to the other players would also be great.
what do you think?

If he's still got it, why not? Money will be an issue, of course.
Last week's news is a concern though. A few RL journos were tipped off that Morley was due to announce his retirement because of his injury. Since then, Mozza rubbished it and is set to play on. I wonder though whether that's him putting off an operation until the end of the potentially title winning season. |

Salford used to be the club where former internationals went for one last pay day.
Do we really want to go back there?

We obviously need a new prop maybe two new props, and looking at the list of OOC players in SL it doesn't look like their are any decent one's, so it looks like we're going to have to splash some cash or hopefully Parish will have a couple of Aussie's in mind who he thinks are up for the job. For me I wouldn't have Morley now as he's getting to injury prone and I'd see it as another Bailey signing.

I agree entirely here. ok Morley is a Salford lad , but he's had opportunities to play for his home town team (or at least make it obvious that he would).
I know he's been a great player but injuries catch up with forwards and I think that's what's happening to Adrian now. |

If a Salford lad does not want to do a year or two whilst in his prime then we certainly don't want them when they are ready to retire.

Can't believe you wouldn't want him, ok he's not the player he was but he was so good he's still better than most in SL. As for injury prone, he's been out since an illegal hit to the the head which saw LMS suspended.
On the injury front he's had a good run and is no more injury prone than any other forward.
Personally though i think our club might throw a big contract his way in some sort of coaching/ambassador role.

I'd take him at the drop of hat, will be great role model for our younger props and could do more than a job for us plus he doesn't take up that valuable quota spot its a win win for me, that is if he doesn't want too much money of course.

Funnily enough: Daily Star ( bit.ly/oRyTnP)
SALFORD are ready to offer Adrian Morley a two-year deal to come home.
The Reds, set to move a new stadium next season, want to tempt local lad Morley away from Warrington.
Veteran prop Morley, 34, is under contract to Wolves until the end of next year.
The England prop has skippered the Wolves to back-to-back Wembley triumphs.
Last month he denied he was heading to the Reds when they made Aussie Matt Parish their new coach.
But Warrington last week signed prop Chris Hill, 21, from Leigh as his long-term replacement.
Meanwhile, Widnes are close to signing former Bradford and Wigan loose forward Mark Flanagan, 23, from Wests
Tigers ahead of their return to Super League next year. |
