Classic Emperor's new clothes.

To be fair, you had been fine on this thread until this post!



To claim he had no impact on the game at all is ludicrous.



He put the big hit on the first tackle which set the tone for the set of six. He also then put in four or five big hits at various stages (quite a few on Graham) which lifted our defense.



Often Wire's defence gets on a roll on the back of one or two Morley tackles.



Try watching a bit more closely.

Fair enough. I'm sure the stats will back up the defensive effort. It's harder to see the defensive work and I'm sure I've not watched the replay quite as many times as you lot

The 'moisture' on your glasses must have been overwhelming. Morley made four consecutive tackles in one set of six.

Were they all high or just a few of them? That's the only impact I noticed Morley having. Didn't he hobble off and not come back on at some point?

Impressive trolling.

I only recall one penalty from Morley as opposed to two from Graham.



He went off after about 50 mins IIRC, which is a decent spell when you have a strong enough pack to cover him. Must be worrying for your pack when you couldn't get on top of us in that 2nd half even when morley 'hobbled off'.

Could be right!



As an example of Morley's impact, just watch the first set (although even that may be too painful). Morley is first in and puts a big hit on LMS to set the scene for the set.



He then puts a big hit on Graham on tackle 4.



So in the first set he has pretty much haltedyour two key forwards with big hits, and just seconds later we have scored under your posts.



His impact just in that first set of six was outstanding.

I seem to remember us scoring one try in the second half and, but for a dropped ball by Foster, being within a spit of just one point between us. I'd say your pack didn't dominate ours. Unless we dominated you back again, obviously. Like we did in the first half.

Go you!



You won the 1st half by 4 and lost the 2nd half by 11 points. Foster was covered by the way, but if you want to talk about squandered chances then we could have had 60 points.



That 2nd half was pretty dominant by us to be fair, playing much of it without one of our three props as you pointed out.

Morley did seem quiet, which i found unusual. However, many have said that the concern for Warrington is that the pack is an older and VERY experienced pack. Thats not to say finished, over the top, knackered. For those of us who are older, we all know that it takes longer to recover from knocks, and a player like Morley is not a man who hides and he takes lots of knocks.

Oh no he wasn't! He would have made that line no probs. He'd already done it once in the match.





Not really. The momentum changed a number of times during the game, first and second half.
