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.

This.

And Wire fans, how could you forget Jon Roper?

Funnily enough: Daily Star (http://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.

Re: Should we attempt to sign Morley? : Thu Jul 14, 2011 11:35 am  

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.

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.

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.

Re: Should we attempt to sign Morley? : Thu Jul 14, 2011 12:49 pm  

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.
