Quote: The_Enforcer "Can you remember a GB game where he stood out or changed the game in a positive way? In the era Morley played, Britains best props were IMO always Fielden, Peacock, Barrie Mac and Terry O. The only thing that comes back to me when i think of Morley in a GB shirt is the sending off.
Just to be clear, i am not saying Morley was a bad player he wasnt. He was a decent player but this worship of him as some kind of Prince of props is way OTT. Save the gushing for props like Webke, Platt, Lazurus, Ward, they were really truly world class props.'"
No you said he was overrated. So..
-I outlined who he was rated alongside of. I asked if you thought that was fair, you then listed a few props who you thought were better.
-I then used a few stats to show how Morley was more than worthy to be talked about in the same breath as Peacock, Graham, Sam B etc; you didn't acknowledge it.
-You then made some comment about Morley high tackling....I pointed out other top players who had also been found guilty of going high; and pointed out how it's difficult to take onboard someone's option who's only comment on Morley is a high tackle.
No one said he was the 'prince of props' you've literally just decided to say that. You're constantly try to chop and change to shape the conversation to suit yourself; another example would be trying to get me to name a game where he stood out for GB, instantly disregarding the rest of his career; this doesn't do you or your credibility on here any favours.
Truth is Morley is rated; and rated highly as one of the best British props in recent years. Which I think is fair; he's not overrated.
