This is one thing I love about this sport. The respect among the players and among the officials. Nobody ran to the official's face to complain about the hit. Adrian didn't flail his arms in the air like a girl when he got sent off. The official called him over and explained it briefly. So professional.
@M wake up to. Yourself.... . Not happening in NZ or Australia.... Especially in NZ.... Soccer will never overtake rugby 😂.... You're obviously not from New Zealand or Australia are you?
Morley is a THUG of the highest order. Yes, i'm an aussie and i loved watching him play in the NRL, but the guy is an absolute nutter. He finished his NRL Career under suspension lol
Was at this game, 8 years old and yet I can remember this game and that high tackle like it was yesterday ! Shocking tackle but when International RL was at its peak with the Tri-Nations/Ashes series games !
Hardest men hell they were softies compared to Sattler, Kelly, Dimond Provan Raper Koralias and the English Captain that led his team to a win with a broken Arm
What the Fuck are you on about? Chris never said a word about “Soccer”. And it called bloody football you dumb cunt! Stop having the greatest football side to walk the earth club badge as your profile badge! You have just made yourself look like a retard!! Your gutless and stupid reply has absolutely nothing to do what Chris said or the video you just watched. Fk off and go lick some windows on the special bus!
What a player Morley was, especially in the NRL. In the 2004 GF he was a monster in his hits. Its a shame he had to go to the english league coz he got suspended too many times!!!!!! Hard carrnt. Love him
@@huepix He was far from a thug. He was a brilliant forward. You've clearly watched none of his games but 13 seconds of one he rightly got sent off in. Don't be so soft. Moron.
6/7 seconds, Peter Kelly for Canterbury v Souths 1986 Anzac day game, Kel got sent off and actually beat the bugle player who had played the last post back to the gate leading off the playing surface after he was sent off
And yet Willie Mason decks Fielden with a punch to the head 3 years later, followed by taking Long off the ball with an elbow to the face. Just a penalty and nothing for the second offense. Where’s Ganson when you need him.
Also statistics show that the ball is in play more in League, and that there are less breaks in play (penalties, ball in touch etc...). Studies have shown that in Union the ball is actually in play for only about avg.35 minutes per match, whereas in League the figure is around the avg.65 minute mark.
Morley's old school. He's playing that 70's early 80's style when all that shit was part of the game. I used to play back then & there were players like him that used to scare the shit out of us...You learned to pass fast...and duck...
Its around the chin so it’s a red ! Morley was a tough competitor and NOT a cheap shot merchant - played his best in the NRL as the only Englishman doing so at the time and gained the Aussies respect
This is an English ref playing fair rightfully sending off an England player for a bad tackle. 👏👏 Fast forward 3 years and Willie Mason threw a punch knocking out Fielden and hit Sean Long in the face with an elbow and if I recall correctly not even a penalty given let alone a red.
You have to love the Anglo/Aussie rivalry! Go Mozza. Shame it was on a likeable Australian....if there is such a thing. Bring on the Quad Nations 2009!
I had an English woman tell me she hates Australian men and thinks they're scumbags! 30 seconds later, she's making out with me before getting in a taxi!
You understand this is Rugby League. A game with no faked injuries and stretchers for players who hop off when they get to the side line. As opposed to football that has both (very classy). Rugby League captains don't fall over and roll on the ground trying to get penalties and a fellow player sent off unlike Steven Gerrard, v France. Rugby League players can enjoy a game of football. Football players would crap themselves in RL .
@Russell101 That isn't the point; they refuse available technology not for the sake of time etc, but because in football, it would not be the same and have the same appeal and media status if the technology was used.
had he done this in State of Origin when Barry Gomersall was in charge, The Grasshopper would've sent his ass off to the showers before his boots hit the dirt!
also, we havent lost a rugby league world cup final since 1972. england/gb has only won on 3 occasions, and new zealand not at all. the trophy is as good as ours. ouch!
