morley had stitches at half time to bad cut to the chin was available to come back on if needed but as graham was looking for his dummy for most of the game he was left on the bench

There is a middle ground. I'm sure he could have put Morely on his . It is rare but does happen. Stamps his dominance and looks like he is ready for some Biff. Then if moz instigates it is a cautioning for both, maybe a replay to see what happened. Morely might get a ban for striking out, even if Graham was trying to cheat. Instead, he looked straight to the ref. As a player in a professional sport- spot on. As a prop- mistake. Sorry.

I see what you are saying, grabbing Morley's shirt and eyeballing him or something. But then again if he starts reacting to every little petulant dummy spit from an opposition player (Which is what Morley did was) he'd spend half his games squaring up to people and banging his chest.

You're right. It sent a message though.

He had a choice in the first minute. He could put some pressure on MOz or go the the ref. If he had squared up a bit with moz, people would have got the message. Instead he looked a bit soft and people knew they could take liberties (as Moz had done)

Nothing intentional from Morley. It was a shrug to stop Graham messing about with the play the ball as per.

Nothing was given against him. Graham was bleeding after it though, so something happened.

Definitely caught Graham with the corner of his elbow, but wasn't intentional. It was just a shrug.

Should Graham have done something in retaliation though.

The correct course was taken in terms of Refereeing. Graham attempted tot steal and Moz reacted.

If he had then God help him. You don't mess with Morley.

I agree. Graham was right not to retaliate as he may have been embarrased live on TV.

I believe that by not reacting he was in for a kicking for the whole match. Everyone was taken him apart.

As I said not many people have taken on Moz and won but Graham had to do something to stamp some authority on what he was doing. Everyone was taken him for a mug.

At amateur level your told to get in first on your opposite number and never take a backward step otherwise they will have your measure for the rest of the game, its like in the wild the weak don`t survive as get targeted and singled out.

Moz set the platform for us last night and Garreth Carvell carried that on along with the rest of our pack, it was a great performance from the lads up front and the backs finished things off nicely.

Regards of how bad he played,Graham is one the best props in SL.Like its been said before i would have him at Wire.

Sorry to my fellow Wire fans here but it was largely Saints' lack of ability on our line that cost them, along with some solid goal line defence from ourselves! Eastmond just passed the ball, Gaskell looked out of his depth in a game of this magnitude and they were slow and predictable at spreading the ball. I said in Cardiff, Saints are still by far the quickest team at getting upfield into good field position, however, its all to no avail if they can't deliver the finished product.

Some great hits from our boys though, especially Carvell, wood and westwood. As for Morley's elbow, I honestly think he was trying to shove Graham off not elbow him in the face. No malice in it whatsoever!

Probably the most analytical post on this entire topic.
