Outbid by the Wire again?

Surely not, if Adrian Morley is really coming back to the UK then Dave/Maurice cannot really lose face to the Wire again and still retain any credibility. We would certainly have bite in our front row with Danny Sculthorpe and Morley, we might not finish many matches with 13 men but who cares!!

I don't know where the Wires rumour has come from, I believe Leeds and even Salford would be ahead of them or us for his signature. He's on a good thing in Australia, gets several weeks off a season due to bans... why would he want to come back to the UK?
To be honest, I think he'd be a real liability for us. On the one hand, he'd be expensive in terms of the salary cap and there's no way the dirty thug is worth several of our kids, whilst having both him and Newton in the team would lead us to conceed too many penalties. Remember Leeds were considered a dirty team when Moz, Newton and McDermott were together - I'd rather see good skilfull flowing rugby rather than us winning by knocking out the opposition like those guys used to do together.

Both Wire and Roosters deny this, so it must be true....

Paul Cullen VERY angrily denied this yesterday. Could you imagine playing against a side with Morley and Lima in it? Our players would feel theyu were taking part in a coconut shy.
