Coley is to Wire What Morley is to Salford , never actually played for you, always raised his game when he played against you and destined to play out his career without turning out for his hometown team. You'll claim now you never needed him but really you would have given your hind teeth to have seen him in your colours in his prime. and now it's too late that's sad.'"
I get where you are coming from but I don't think they are that comparable. Morley was predicted by many to be past his best when he left the Roosters but he's been more consistent in his spell at Warrington than he was in his early days in Leeds (didn't see him regularly enough in the NRL to compare there but maybe the peak of his career was in 2002-04 in the great Roosters team that got to 3 GF's when he was the best forward in the NRL).
Coley on the other hand I don't reckon has been the same player since he left Salford. He's still a decent player but I thought his peak was around 2002-06 at Salford when he was a very good player and should have been in the GB set up more. I reckon in recent years we have had better forwards than Coley in Morley, Carvell and Wood. But in the mid 2000s thats when we could have done with Coley, when he was at Salford. |

| Quote: "I am definitely not retiring and I have not spoken to Salford about signing for the Reds next season.
I need to put the record straight because a lot of stories about me and my future are being bandied about.
I am certainly not about to jump ship and sign for Salford.
When I’ll play again I can’t say but retirement talk is utter rubbish.
I possibly know how the link with Salford has come about.
Before leaving Australia, Matt Parish, the new Salford coach, had a casual conversation with my agent Andrew Purcell – nothing more.
I can also rule out reports of me being offered a place on the coaching staff at Salford'"

Paul Deacon played out a glittering career at Bradford and not once did Wigan ever enquire about him.
Then when it Looks like Deacon is on the verge of retiring off he pops to Wigan becomes a home grown boy amongst the Pie eaters and away you go he wins a grand final.......
Signing Morley would not be a backward step for Salford...
that said I hope he stays... to be honest even when he has a quite Game I just love watching opposition players be in Awe ( scared ) of him
