Morley

Post by Ron »

I'm sure this was the last thing Morley wanted and surely it is his job to go in hard, especially at first tackle. I'm not a fan of his but I feel sorry for him. The lads did a superb job for 80 minutes and could have won. What would have happened if Morley hadn't been sent off. We would have stuffed them. Do you think another ref would have sent him off. :(

It was a poor tackle but if Morley had intended to hurt the guy on the receiving end would be paralised from the neck down.

If it was a bad tackle then he would of been banned! So it obviously wasnt! He made a mistake i'm sure loads of people do! Pryce made one at th grand final, but he got away with it! It's in the past we have to look to the (ever so bleak) future!

I have watched the tackle loads of times and I think he pulled back.Sending him off was wrong IMO.

im not picking on morley thats the way he tackles he goes in hard thats his job but he was very fortunate not to get banned for that tackle and the ref was right to send him off i know its a phisical game but there is no room for that kind of challenge in the twenty first century!
