I think everyone will have done except his Dad.

Apart from his try at the JJB he was anonymous in the tournament. McQuire or O'Loghlin did more despite not being in the starting line ups.

DaveO, Welsh Warrior, the very same words came from my lips when I read it. Thought he was pretty poor this competition, hardly any of the great link up play we see Leeds do and more concerned with sheltering the high ball than actually thinking of going for it.

Don't think Morley's performances warranted him getting into the world XIII. Apart from three superb consecutive tackles in the 70th'odd minute at the City of Manchester Stadium he didn't do anything for me.

I agree with the senior comment!Gleeson played better than senior and he wasnt in there! I didnt think morley had better games than webke and fielden, shame he didnt get in though!

I'm not as keen on Gleeson and most others seem, I thought he had spells of bad tackling and going forward there were several occassions where a pass to Carney would have been a try but he opted to run infield to get tackled. I wouldn't have picked Gleeson or Senior.
