If he's got anything like the balls that Morley had he will put this behind him and become an even better player down there than he already is.

Won't hide behind the fact I have no real desire to see your lot do well. Nor do I enjoy Koukash banging on about how hard done to you are every week.

However this is a great appointment for you guys and will no doubt at least make you more competitive (which for now is what our clubs need to be aiming for to get a stronger league).

You can't buy success in RL within a year or two it just doesn't happen (Wire took 6/7 years) yet in Noble you have a coach who is used to both improving results with sides he inherits and also building squads quickly to make big leaps from there.

Good to see a top British coach back in the top flight also!

Thanks for your comments.

When has Koukash " banged on" how hard done to we are every week?

Tim Smith to you with RMcG + cash going the other way.
Also looks like Morley is nailed on 2yr deal.

Smith for McGoldrick is good business for both teams but sorry Morley for 2 years is wasteful unless part of it is being offset by making a community office or maybe start him doing his coaching badges.

Morley,the signing,would be a far bigger deal than just his playing ability now.
A Salford lad who wants to play for Salford,what better message?
Wouldn't want anyone else at that stage of his career but,for me,it would be exactly the right thing to do.
He would be inspirational to others around the place,particularly the kids.

That's an excellent summation. I'd be surprised if it was on a two year deal though, maybe the remainder of this season and next.

Tim smith for Ryan McGoldrick seems good business, I just don't see what's in it for Wakefield, unless he's ooc at the end of this season and they've seen an opportunity to make some cash. Smith's motivation must be the chance to work with noble again, but I hope he doesn't push Fages out of the side. Thinking long term we should use this season to develop him, and really hit the ground running next year, but where does that leave Foran/Gaskell, etc. It's been mentioned, on here, Foran should be moved to LF, but a bulked up Gaskell might be a better option.

Foran should be ditched hes not good enough, another waste of time signing by vievers

Morley is all talk, he hasn't really wanted to play for us, just talks the talk. I wouldn't waste money from the cap on him. Sign his on as an ambassador but not a player.

A Salford lad wanting to play for Salford while still at the peak of his career would be a better message. The message that signing Morley sends out is that the Salford City Reds Twilight Home for Ageing Internationals is open for business again.

I agree.
Let me know when you find one!

Absolutely, and this is what the club should be working towards. Second best would be lad from anywhere wanting to play for Salford while still at the peak of his career. Worst option is signing a player who is waaayy past his best purely because he's from Salford.

Karl Harrison accused the club of being a retirement home, and he was right. Do we really want to go back down that route?

Off the top of my head Watkins and Hansen are the only other 2 Salford lads that are of a good SL standard. Unfortunately I doubt they'll be in a rush to leave Leeds and Wigan to join us anytime soon!

Watkins is from Stretford.

It's Sale actually, he played his junior RL at Folly though.

It's not mate it's Stretford I know both him and his brother Cashley. Kallum played for Salford Juniors, Folly Lane and Latchford in Warrington before being singed on at Leeds.

They set fire to him?

Might be cutting my nose off to spite my face, but I wouldn't touch Morley. There's no room for all this sentimental bullsh*t, he's had enough chances to join Salford and never has done and now were actually going places he seems interested. No thanks!

Oh and Salford have apparently enquired about Watkins to Leeds.

Ok, sorry.

No one likes a name dropper

Lol. One word I pad.

Agreed I read the League Express about three weeks ago now and if true he said I have never had a desire to play for Salford, until then I always wanted him at Salford after this point (if true) I couldn't give a rats ass about him.

Looking at his supposed justifications for needing a higher cap more than anything.

Given the perilous state of your club both on and off the pitch since Morley's return from Auatralia, why would he want to play for Salford?

It would have only been for sentimental reasons and that cuts both ways. Judging by some of the posters on here, wasn't there a "bullet dodged" post when the news of his torn bicep was announced earlier this season, I think he made the right choice going to and staying with Wire.

Maybe a peripheral role for you guys next year for one year only with some community work and getting his coaching badges.
