Moz has deffo earnt a Celebration Year. I hope he awards himself one.

Hopefully he'll be able to make a return and stuff that one or two people have put on here will be proven to be bull.

Be a hell of a shame for Morleys career to end like that, he deserves to go out with a bang.

Sure, but will it overlap another players' testimonial year? Could cause problems.

Could someone please PM me the rumours to do with Morley? News doesnt travel fast here in Wigan.

Just heard myself it's more serious than first thought, from usually reliable source, certainly hope the're wrong this time!

What's supposedly up with him? If somebody wants to send me a PM with details I'd be grateful.

Can't put any pressure on his little toe, just can't push off.

Good answer!

One head injury too many was what I heard

Just going to have to wait and see an hope its total poop

I think the 'rumour' is that he's struggling head wise. One of these whereby the amount of bumps that you've taken over the years catch up with you and you get advised by quacks to knock it on the head (bum bum).

Hopefully this is just as rumours do, escalating. I'm sure he has got currently a problem with his head, it may keep him sidelined for a week or two but lets hope it's all been blown out of proportion.

I'm sure the club will be doing the right things, player welfare and all that. They'll be taking the right steps, getting him looked at etc.

I agree. We managed to get the points last week against Cas without both Briers and Morley. If we can get past Huddersfield tomorrow then there is also no need to take any risks next week at Quins. Save both players with a view to hopefully getting them on the field for the Cup game versus Wigan and then the business end of the season.

Health and fitness comes first.

Maybe somebody can quiz Andy Gatcliffe on BBC Radio Manchester tonight about these rumours.

Apologies if it's bee posted somewhere else, but what time is Andy on tonight?

Anyone who takes the field in SL has a problem with his head. I think there could be something in it. I was puzzled by Smith's statement after the Saints game where he said something along the lines of he had to put Morley's long term health first and that Morley didn't want to play against Cas either. Or perhaps I'm reading too much into it.

there will be large amount of egg on faces, wonder if anyone will man up to talking e !

So he's fine then? Is that a rumour or a confirmed truth?

I talk alot of poop.
Man enough for you?

I may have got this wrong - I seem to remember him being on last week. Apologies.

That's a start

Ditto

Is Paul Wellens turning into Spock?

There's been a lot said on this and other threads about reliable sources and such like. We all know this is an covering excercise, meaning if it's crap then "oooh I never said it was true, my source is always dead on". If it's true "ooh look at me you heard it here first".

I've had PM's on here from people naming their sources as players. When questioned a little deeper it's simply a lie. The clubs statements that they're resting him as a precaution (and running tests) is as accurate as anything.

If anyone with 100% guaranteed information from their nailed on source that Mr Morley is/will be forced into retirement due to broken neck, resurected cheek/face/etc going wrong, or head falling off ... please have little wager with me £50.00 say to charity based on who's statement is nearer the mark.

Yours or this :--

Mr Morley was out last night at the Neil Diamond concert last night showing no signs of the things rumoured, had an early night and trained with the first team today. He may be back in contention for the cup game.

Well said Steve.

Good to hear. Never had him down as a Neil Diamond fan.

I hope Adrian is okay. I'd hate to see us lose him mid-season. I think Ben would have to make the step up and go with a backrow of Benny, Louis and Simon.
