Walmsley is a prime example of how weak superleague has become. He is probably the 2nd best prop in the comp after Thompson but he was woeful on that tour and in years gone by he’d have been chewed up by guys like Peacock, Morley or Fielden. His weaknesses haven’t been exposed at superleague level but Tonga, NZ and even PNG made him look clumsy and sluggish.

It was a real reality check that tour for the game over here.

You make a good point. I think this current GB team would massively benefit for an 'in his prime Morley'.

What, like getting sent off in the very first tackle of the game?

Ha! Do you think that defines Morley's whole career then? I remember a certain Shaun Edwards almost decapitating Bradley Clyde, Sam Burgess killing Thaiday with a high shot, and wasn't Jamie Peacock in a punch up once? hhmmm...

No, i just found it amusing that you think GB need Adrian Morley when the only thing of any note that i remember him doing in a GB shirt is getting sent off on the first tackle of the game.

In fairness I thought Morley was the victim of a vicious headbutt to the forearm

And what did your beloved Kelvin Skerrett ever do in a GB shirt? What more was he than an intimidating prop forward who ran around punching people and getting sent off?

I’m sorry but you can’t sit there and back Skerrett to the high hilt who was overly aggressive and violent to intimidate opponents and was sent off regularly whilst slating Morley for getting sent off once v Australia.

No wonder they all wore arm guards in them days!

I still remember being sat in the South Stand and the roar that erupted when Morley dropped him was immense. Sadly the replays came on the screen and you knew he was done.

Gansons fault!

Hard to take your opinion onboard when your only take away of Morley is a sending off offence.

I was right at the back in the North stand with my Dad and all his work mates, we all had no idea he had been sent off until we got home

IIRC this was the game that afterwards there was a huge game of rugby broke out in the gap between what was JJB and the store to the left and it was brilliant. Best GB game I went to that one for me, atmosphere was incredible!
