If a Salford lad does not want to do a year or two whilst in his prime then we certainly don't want them when they are ready to retire.

Can't believe you wouldn't want him, ok he's not the player he was but he was so good he's still better than most in SL. As for injury prone, he's been out since an illegal hit to the the head which saw LMS suspended.
On the injury front he's had a good run and is no more injury prone than any other forward.
Personally though i think our club might throw a big contract his way in some sort of coaching/ambassador role.

I'd take him at the drop of hat, will be great role model for our younger props and could do more than a job for us plus he doesn't take up that valuable quota spot its a win win for me, that is if he doesn't want too much money of course.

its the sort of signing salford need and makes sense, hes a salford lad at the end of his carrer now and if he wins the grand final this year then hasnt got anything to win really and for him maybe to finish his carrer at his hometown club and the opening of the ground ect. morley for salford

Don't Salford produce their own players?

Im sick of them coming to Warrington to get players, first it was Mike Wainwright then Vinnie Anderson, now Morley!

Contracted until 2012 - unless you got loadsa money

This.

And Wire fans, how could you forget Jon Roper?

Funnily enough: Daily Star (bit.ly/oRyTnP) SALFORD are ready to offer Adrian Morley a two-year deal to come home. The Reds, set to move a new stadium next season, want to tempt local lad Morley away from Warrington. Veteran prop Morley, 34, is under contract to Wolves until the end of next year. The England prop has skippered the Wolves to back-to-back Wembley triumphs. Last month he denied he was heading to the Reds when they made Aussie Matt Parish their new coach. But Warrington last week signed prop Chris Hill, 21, from Leigh as his long-term replacement. Meanwhile, Widnes are close to signing former Bradford and Wigan loose forward Mark Flanagan, 23, from Wests Tigers ahead of their return to Super League next year.

Think of all the ex Wigan, Saints, Bradford and Hull players Salford have signed.....all the ambitious clubs get their players raided by the Reds flashing their cash. Salford are like the Real Madrid of RL.

It was a mistake to make a thread on here involving anything to do with Warrington. It just attracts their high quality, and knowledgeable fan-base over to the Turkey, where they will proceed to Lord-it-up over everyone else. Quick to forget what it was like to be a struggling Club for donkeys years.

The only Warrington based player Wire should have mentioned is Andy Coley .

It used to be Leeds, Saints & Wigan that took talent , now it's flash the cash SJM.

I don't have an issue with this aslong as it's all within legality.

If Salford had money to burn , we'd cherry pick best British talent from our neighbours too .

Morley has missed his chance, the same way Betts had. to play for his hometown club and everytime we are linked with him it annoys me, it made sense on his return from Sydney Roosters, pointless now.

The money it would take to get him will be better spent building for the future and making sure the youth development potential is maximised so the next Betts . Morley or Watkins isn't taken from under out noses. Parish's remit is to develop from within where possible.

That's my thinking on it, yes I'd take him no worries on that although it would be on the proviso that we add another experienced prop to our ranks maybe an overseas player.

No, not for me. I'm struggling to see how we really mean that much to him given he has turned us down twice, which just leaves you with the reality that he's a great prop who is on the verge of falling to pieces.

[iI would love to see 'MOZZA' in a Reds shirt.

Even if only one season..[/i

Not for me either. One thing is for sure if Warrington were to release him it would be because Tony Smith thought he was just about ready for the knackers yard.

No,think the days of us signing injury prone players should be over.
He has missed enough at Warrington with injuries,we need to turn a corner regarding this issue

I'm gonna play Devil's advocate here...

We all agree that a successful team needs a mix of all age groups. Youthful energy, speed and fitness. Couple that with Experience, knowledge, and being on top of your game. Teams of youngsters while enthusiastic are never going to be competitive.

With this in mind, which positions should your older players play in. Winger? Centre?

The only obvious choice is in the forwards. So why would the fact that Morley is in the twilight of his career be such a massive no-no for some? You could say injuries and recovery, but that applies to all players irrespective.

As for me prsonally, I don't really have any strong views on signing him. if he comes, ok. If not i wont lose any sleep.

Playing aside, is there a more promotable rugby league star, promotable to Salford people and its amateur clubs, than Adrian Morley. Probably not.

I think now is the perfect time to sign Morley. Get him at our club when he's ready to retire, and offer him a contract on the coaching staff... and also as an ambassador for the club.. when his playing career is over.

Yes... he's at the end of his playing days... but Morley has way too much to offer after his time is up for him to be part of the setup at Warrington... He needs to be here... helping his hometown club out. He's a passionate bloke when it comes to RL... He'd be a great asset.

This would be more than a contract to play for me.

Some ambassador he's not wanted to know us for 17 year.

To be fair to the guy... he's been out of our league for years. His playing levels have warranted a better salary than we could afford... It's a short career... and I for one don't blame him for a minute.

I'm with LF 100% on this. As a club we've never been in a position to justify Mozza wanting to sign for us. If, over the last 10-15 years we were in a position to challenge for honours I'm sure he'd have been proud to wear the shirt. He's had a great career and IMO is still one of the best front rowers out there and as a Salford lad we should be proud of what he's achieved. If his body is up to it (which only he'll know) let's get him here for next season. We've got bags of potential in our young props and his influence (like Cashmere's) would be invaluable. As long as he doesn't want a fortune bring him "home" & let him lead the club out at Barton. Unlike some players, who would happily steal a living at 34/35 to put food on the table, I'm convinced he'd give nothing more than 110% for the club.

I don't blame him LF he's had a great career in the game and I'm pleased to see a Salford lad do well. I just have a problem with Salford signing big name players that are ready to hang up their boots and are injury prone. I would much rather see the club develop the Adrian Morley's of the future. I understand the argument about having experienced players in the team but personally I think we already have enough old heads in the squad.

Maybe he could offer the club some extra publicity but I doubt the financial effect would come close to covering his big contract?
