| If this turns out to be true (which i think it will), it'll be the only signing which we have made where i genuinely have no opinion, i won't be bothered whichever way it goes.

| When fit, Morley was still putting some hard graft last season, so it isn't completely out of the question that he'll be able to put in some decent shifts. Walne and Emmit are still quite young, so they should be capable of playing an extra 10/15 minutes each match, to accommodate him. If he can still put some big shots in, then he might be worth the risk.

| Knackered and past it.
Yes he is from Salford but has had the chances in the past to return "home"
One last pay day for him.
Bad move IMHO when there are better and younger props out there

| He`ll be ok at counting how many players we have on the pitch at any given time and that's about it.
Prestwich Red hits nail on head very nicely.

| Nobby will only sign Moz if he thinks he can do a job for us. I'm happy to back his judgement either way.

| 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.

| I think he should come as an ambassador for Rugby League in Salford and sit him next to the marketing team rather than the squad.

| People keep saying Morley had his chances to come to the club. When? If you read his book he strongly refutes this, and indeed is quite bitter that Salford did not come in for him. After Leeds, he went to Oz, and on returning from Oz a certain Mr Karl Harrison said he was not worth a 3 year contract as he was all but finished. So when did he actually have his chances to sign for Salford. A 12 month deal might be ok as we clearly need an on field leader and an off field ambassadorial role, or coaching position could work.

| What was his record at Wire last year?, that's got to be the only pointer to what he might deliver on the park.

| He's sure to command a very decent wage so would we be able to off set this by employing him in a coaching role? Not sure how ethical this is in relation to the salary cap but I'm sure there are other teams using the same types of work around.

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'" Answer ? , if we have paid the right amount 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!
