7891.jpg Salford RLFC
Folly ARLFC
Good john wilky last looked out
on the pitch at salford.
when the snow lay round about
deep and crisp and even
brightly played the lads that night
though the frost was cruelllll
when poor swinton scored a try
we had 94urrrrrrrrrr:7891.jpg |

| Another good singing. He's a marked improvement on anything we already have even at 37, and he'll do a fantastic job of gathering interest again in Salford. Roll on 2014!!!

| Quote: John Gilbert Reds "I'm actually quite emotional at the prospect of such a legend as Mozza, leading us, his home town team who he has always had ambitions to play for, into a new season and era for the club.
'"
Let's be honest he's not always had ambitions to play for us and, if he did, he would have been mad to considering the success he's had everywhere he has been. I don't begrudge him for one second playing for all the clubs he has, it was clearly the right decision but let's not pretend he's always held desires to turn out for us. He's told many a Salford fan who has asked him down the years that he would sign for Salford when his knees were shot.
As for the signing itself, I'd echo the majority view on here in that he's still better than most of our forwards but his age and fitness is a concern considering the massive salary he'll be on. On the positive side, I agree it's probably a gamble worth taking if we can get him on the coaching staff when he retires from playing and if he brings a good mentality to the club.

I hope he is made captain, he's one of us, a hard working Salfordian who has been lucky enough to realise his dreams and to be honest there is nobody else I'd rather have.

I couldn't agree more. Well said..

While I'd guess Morley will be one of the four, I'm not so sure that Sa'u will necessarily be one of them.

| GET IN! Really chuffed by this signing, possibly the most iconic player the club has ever signed. Last icon I think we signed was Andy Greg and he didn't have the same link to Salford as Mozza. Good contract as well and I am sure he will help the club off the field as much as on it. Th eyoungsters in our team have look a little bit lost at times this year but imagine standing next to Mozza knowing hes on your side!! He might get a couple of injuries but if we manage him well enough I think we will get a decent season out of him. Everyone raves about Mcphearson being our best forward but I bet we get more game time from Mozza next year than we have Shannon this year and the two in tandom would be great.
I think its starting!! don't tell the Cas fans

| Walshovski - You know this because? I think you'll find Moz has always had ambitions of playing for Salford, he has made no secret of that if you've ever had the pleasure to meet him. I'm pretty sure he mentioned this morning in his interview with GMR. Also, I have never once heard him or anyone else say this would be when his knees were shot either.

| Better late than never! He clearly wants to be here and the influence he will have, both on and off the pitch could prove invaluable.

| He'll finally get some respite from his family .
Quote: Judas "2007-Did you have a warm welcome back in your home town of Salford when you played in a pre-season friendly there for Warrington?
I had all the "Judas" stuff, and that was just my family! Apart from that it was just typical rugby league fans' stuff and I didn't expect anything less from them.
Is there part of you that would have liked to have been playing for Salford? I would have liked to represent my home town as a professional. I played for Salford Schoolboys, so it's a small regret that I never played for the club. I did speak to Salford before I came back to Britain, but the talks didn't go on for too long. I think the new stadium will be great for the club and the city of Salford in general. It could have had a bearing on my decision, but it's probably 18 (correction 72 ) months or more down the line.

That idea that Adrian Morley ever had any intention of signing for Salford when he was in his pomp is fanciful.
See Middleman's quote, he had a chance to come here when he returned from Australia but wisely went to Warrington because we were a total mess and they were on the cusp of becoming a top side. I'm not blaming him and I feel nothing but pride that someone from Salford has captained Great Britain (something that would not have happened had he played for us at the height of his career) but let's not start pretending he's always harboured intentions of playing for Salford.
It falls into the same category as Salford fans singing that cringeworthy Ratchford's coming home song. Ratchford may well come back one day if the money is right but if he loved the place that much he would never have left in the first place.

| A great signing for Salford in many different areas
I genuinely hope that Moz can help develop Salford into a top club. I think that SL needs Salford to be sucess

Sorry, but I think that's a pretty mean-spirited point of view.
Just think back to McRea's reign and tell me that any professional, given a decent offer to go to an ambitious club with a quality coach and good facilities wouldn't take the offer.
It's a very short career in RL, I have no criticism of Steph at all for taking the step to better himself.
Back on topic, I really hope the Morley signing delivers all that's promised.

| I agree.
Players who left Salford to further their career and earn more were never a problem for me,because that's what most people would do.
The issue ,in regard to the players who left was the manner of their leaving.
It's been said before but compare and contrast Luke Robinson and Hodgy.

No.The club has just replied to information given out by the Australians and Warrington,wanting to do a Wigan and announce their departing players to their supporters.
These 2 are probably those who were described as ''over the line''.
I don't think this Marwan 'Terrier' Koukash gives up once he has the bit between his teeth - not forgetting it was only a couple of months ago he got knocked back on the Morley request.
As I don't think he sleeps,nor does he sit on his hands,I expect lots more work is being done on the recruitment front.

| shrewd signing this.
Probably not going to have a MAJOR on field impact - but it's the "marquee siging" that the club needs. It'll certainly generate some interest!
Great work
As for "don't tell the cas fans" .....we arent that bothered but if it gives you any greater satisfaction, here goes...............
Ohhhh noooooo this is teeerrrrrible, what are WEEEEEE gonna do nowwwwwww

| Cracking signing I think . Although he's probably past his best on the field, hopefully he can be the catalyst into further decent signings.
