Mick lines up Morley 2 minutes later and goes straight over the top with the elbow.... Swift retribution.

Got a 6-week ban and came back for the Grand Final, which we won.

Legend.

Coward of the highest order more like

Elbow to the face of an opponent , the actions of a grub .

Cassidy drifted into deserved obscurity ,

Morley went to Australia and became an RL Great

Now that's a Legend .

How under rated was Mick Cassidy? He was a great player but almost totally forgotten when we talk about the great players of the past. His work rate was immense and he did all the hard work that went unnoticed a lot of the time.

Cassidy was just one of those players that did things other players didn’t want to do. Where he may not have been physically as gifted as others his toughness and mental toughness and work ethic were what made him as a player. Never looked out of place regardless of who he played with. Agree with Potter and Panapa too although I think Sam did have that but of extra natural talent to make him the player he was too. It was only last week when I found out he had 2 spells at Sheffield prior to signing for Wigan after noticing him in an old team photo one of my mates who also played there with him posted on social media. I asked him about Sam and he said he was unplayable at that level.
