Some people seem to have forgotten that he played for several years at Sydney Roosters, where he helped them win an NRL Grand Final (2002). He was an icon at Sydney Roosters, and had something of a cult following with the club's fans, who would chant his name during the game. He didn't want to leave, but the Roosters renewal offer couldn't match the 4 year contract Warrington was offering.

And yes, he is a very nice, personable man. Very down to earth. I have met the man and chatted with him. That is why I think that he could become a superb coach, and especially a great inspiration to the youth at Salford.

I think any doubters about this signing only need to look at what opposition fans are writing about the signing on RLFans. I don't think a single one so far has said it's a bad signing. That's highly unusual, especially for an older player.

Morley brings more than just 80mins a week on the pitch, he brings an aura with him and the other 10,000 minutes a week off the pitch

Good signing for me. I think this is a shrewd piece of business by the Doc. The intangible benefits of signing Moz will outweigh what he gives on the pitch in the long-term, but I believe he's still got one year left in the tank and no doubt he'll give it his all playing for his home town club.

Nice piece by Sam Tomkins on the MEN site.

Morley is a good signing definitely.....However Dobson is returning to Australia so he won't be part of your rebuild, invoked his get out clause.

Salford red all over, I agree with you and Barton Flyer about Ratchford, even if my post didn't read like it. RL is a short career and people need to do what is best for them and leaving Salford for Warrington was the right move. The point I was making is that let's not pretend Ratchford is some sort of prodigal son waiting to come home because he isn't really. He moved on when the time was right and fair play to him for doing so.

The song was cringeworthy because why sing about a player coming home when there is no real indication he is 'coming home' or even really wants to, apart from the odd rumour from people.

Great signing,will still at 37 be the best prop at the club, big name local born world star great business

Rumours true about SBW?

Wouldn't say they're rumours more like whispers at the moment.

SBW at Salford

About as funny as Willie Mason at KR!

SBW, A monster in both codes at the peak of his powers, at Salford . Although it was a disaster, at least he actually turned up and played for us, once against you lot if I remember correctly and lost! Mason that is.

I don't think we'll sign him either but I don't think a KR fan should come on here laughing at us when you've just lost all your best players like we did last season! The fact is if there wasn't a salary cap we could afford to sign him no problem. IF a 'Marquee' player rule comes in you can count on one thing, the Doctor WILL pay whatever it takes to bring a top line world renowned player to the City of Salford stadium!
