It's a joke.

With you on that, remember the blog is primarily aimed at Bradford fans.

Thats a fair point!

FWIW I like Morrison and I assume he'll be here on a contract that includes some provision for his injury record. If thats the case he'll be a good acquisition for Wakefield although I hope it's not to replace Steve Snitch.

think it was two seasons ago when bradford scored a try in clown corner, ferris tried to stop the scorer but failed, morrison came up behind and dragged ferris off like a rag doll, at the time I was angry at his actions but you have to like the way he plays very committed, like newton while playing against us you tend dislike players that cause havoc against your team,
I welcome both with open arms

certainly looking that way!!

It certainly looks like that, however I suspect had Snitch stayed he would not have been signed. I don't know but I feel Morrisons was signed as a quick fix in reaction to the loss of Snitch. All told nat a bad replacement all be it not as long term.

about time too

Being a good player but a poor signing for my money at 33 bloody awful business if we lose Snitch into the bargain

too old, for starts its one yr contract, and what about menizes at 35

who's to say that he doesn't go through injury free

Morrison has not had reoccurring injuries they have been seperate so in a way hes just been unlucky, its not as though hes struggling with a repetative injury. He will bring a whealth of experience and professionalism to the club and in my opinion he could prove to be a very astute signing.

I've never seen him be anything less than influential in a game. Bradford haven;t always won but he always looked like the man to do it and he gives 100%
His injuries are simply impact injuries so no reason to think it is a problem. His career so far has been fairly injury free.

Good signing for me...especially with Drew and possibly Martin leaving.

Lets hope thats the case at Wakey and he stays clear of injury

I don't really understand this one. It really doesn't matter what sort of injuries he's had the fact that in the last 3 seasons he has missed roughly 1 in every 3 games has to be a worry.

They are not reccuring ones though. I can see what you're saying, he seems to be more susceptible to impact injuries, but clearly the club feel it is more about bad luck than him being made of balsa wood.

The injuries are not reccuring but the fact that he gets injured is reccuring. The fcat that he has had a relative injury free career is the irrelevant bit for me it's the last 2 seasons which don't make good reading. Maybe with Petersen going I just need a quick scapegoat replacement!

but he's nearly scores 1 every 2 games and the injuries he's had could of happened to anyone, I would be concerned if it was knee/shoulder clean outs required

But it may just be plain bad luck, many players get spells like that during a career and go on to have much longer periods injury free. Equally you can sign a player, often younger, who comes with a relatively injury free record, who is then in and out with knocks - Petersen as you've mentioned him, but plenty of others fit that category to some degree.

If it was a Hendo type player I'd agree, but as he is clearly quality it tips the scale of the risk a little and so makes it a little more worthwhile. Maybe trust the club, I'd expect they would have more detailed medical info on these kind of things - although if it is anything like contracts, it would be in the public domain by now.

Hopefully so, as always I guess it depends upon how much he's getting would hope we weren't paying top money for him.

i have it from a very good source close to the club that he is gonna be taking us for 120k.....

That makes Sculthorpe look good value for money

I understand what you're saying, it would be a greater worry if Glenn Morrison were suffering from of a chronic injury that continually sidelined him.

He has suffered a number of niggling injuries which are not connected in any way with each other except they may be occurring because his 33-year-old physique is struggling to cope with modern day Rugby.

I hope that's not the case and that he's only had a run of bad luck which hopefully will come to an end when it comes to Wakefield Trinity. Sometimes a different training regime, a different warmup routine or the different techniques employed by the club's physiotherapist are all that is needed to break the cycle of injuries.

So welcome Glenn!

think your source may have got that one wrong. morrison is a good player, with great experience. think he will be a good addition.

you dont say
