The BBC has reports about Morley playing his last game on Saturday before retiring. Lazy reporting from the BEEB and the usual incompetence from SKY.

Think a lot of people don't realise we have released five 30 plus year old players in Wild, Godwin, Nero, James and McGoldrick. So this year we had 7, next year 6 ( I think you missed counted) but we are now labelled an old team.

You are right I forgot to include Griffin.

of the 2013 squads
Leeds (7)- Maguire 30, Burrow 31, Leuluai 35, Peacock 35, Buchanan 32, Sinfield 33, Moore 31,

Hull (icon_cool.gif - Yeaman 30,Lynch 33, O'Meley 32, Ellis 32, Tickle 30, Galea 35, Horne 31 , Heremaia 31.

Warrington (9 ) Hodgson 35, Briers 35, Morley 36, M Monaghan 33,J Monaghan 31, Waterhouse 32, Westwood 32, Higham 33, Wood 32,

Some will be moving on / retiring etc next season but some of their replacements will be 30+ players so 5-6 ' experienced players in SL is surely the norm ?

there are certain area's of the RL press/ media that will always run with the negative aspect when it pertains to Salford .

You see your fatal mistake there is letting facts get in the way of what the press see as us recruiting all the old codgers. I can see where people think that about Morley as I still maintain I think he will be a bad signing on the pitch playing wise but brilliant off it marketing and promotion wise, but Meli and Puletua I fully expect to offer a great deal for a high number of games next season.

Its whether you let that label upset you ....personally watching our Set of Dads army at wembley three times and topping the table and appearing in (sadly losing) grand finals, is a small price to pay for a bit of Feckwittery By Eddie gob poop Hemmings.........

when He shouts "oh no" when one of your team scores a semi final winning try thats a result........

Wait till you play his beloved widnes on Sky.....

The experienced route has certainly worked well for Warrington with Hodgson, Briers, Monaghan, Westwood, Morley, Carvell and Waterhouse all playing crucial roles in your recent success. I dont even think last Saturday was a game too far for them either, key injuries to Ratchford and Joel Monaghan (organisational nightmare) were what lost you the game, not the age of your squad. Had neither of those two players had to the leave the field, I have no doubt Warrington would be the current Super League champions.

Did anyone else notice how the tone of Hemmings' voice quietened during the 2nd half when the Wigan comeback was on compared to his excited ramblings in the first?

no its deffo Wire - remember his "Briers for Britain" bull ??

watch the semi vs huddersfield.... when grix scores the winning try hemmings shouts 'oh no' shout it if your watching a moment of madness from a player or a nasty injury but not when a team scores a try that takes them to old trafford.

then the game before that with eddie trying his best to get Briers banned for the next game or even the final, with his non stop references to what a punch should get you.... so much so he continually mentioned it in the following match between saints and hull kr...
