The golden point ball-steal incident was the straw that broke the camels back. Like many other ex Wakey young players he's doing OK a peg below. Good luck to him. You could never knock his commitment and effort.
What ever happened to Mark Field?

Magic Morton, nuff said.

What a nasty and quite odd comment, funny you insult Dale who is just a professional going about his job yet you are the first to jump to the rescue of a drunken Albert Kelly on the VT after his derogatory treatment of various members of the public. Your morals seem to be all in the wrong place my friend.

From the age 8 to 13 Dale was watched by professional football clubs such as Leeds United, Huddersfield Town and Barnsley. He then opted to play rugby league with school friends and from that day has been a success in the sport."

What a load of dross!

He took some absolute hammerings when he started playing 1st team, and I don't ever recall him giving less than 100%. As it happens, he didn't blossom into the greatest SL player ever, but he was a regular in a team that wasn't exactly pulling up trees.

Give the kid a break maybe?

Trinity18 wrote:Just annoys me when people post utter crap... he hasn't had any success and never will, well not in SL he won't.

I'm not giving the kid nuthing.

I don't know Dale Morton - but I did watch pretty much every game he played for us - and I can see no reason why any WT fan would criticise him; it just seems entirely unnecessary and mean-spirited.
