Welcome to the NEW RLFANS.COM. After twenty-five years of service, the old site expired over the last few days. To maintain service we have had no option but to make an early switch to the new site which was in development/testing. Some elements of the new site are unfinished, such as; page numbering and quotations. We will fix these minor issues as soon as we can, please bear with us.

| The David Cruickshank one was a head high "tackle" on Saints Paul Groves I believe ?
Not sure if he played after that, however with 12 men we went on to beat Saints 50-14..........see Wigan, 12 men can beat Saints, you just need to have Phil Ford, and John Bentley in your side  | | |

Had Cassidy tried to tackle Morley properly he'd probably been the one on the floor needing the physio, Morley ran in like a f**king steam train.

Because Morley simply ran over him his swinging arm missed by quite a wide margin - if he had connected then McCormack could have been seeing stars for a prolonged period | | |

I've watched that many times in the past, still got the whole game on video somewhere. Morely misses completely with the swinging arm, the damage is done by Morely hitting McCormack at full tilt with his chest/shoulder right between McCormack's shoulder blades. It's a whiplash injury that puts McCormack out. Have to agree with Sal, Morley just ran over the top of him at full speed.
It was dangerous and there was obviously a massive arm swinging but it was, at the time, a legal contact. I don't remember any citation for Morely, but couldn't be 100% sure of that. I can understand why the Wigan players might have been unhappy, but the Cassidy shot could have done horrific damage to Morely if it had been 3-4 inches lower. I also genuinley believe Morely never ran or hit as hard after that in a Leeds shirt. He was, until that incident, a complete monster in that game. One of the most dominant spells I have ever seen by a forward, with the ball and on defence. Martin Massala and Darryl Powell were also on fire that day.

I'd agree with that. I watched a game that season in a pub in Bradford when you played the Bulls. Morley was unstoppable, the Bulls fans were up in arms due to the physicality. He was never quite as dominant & I often wondered whether it was the rest of the game catching up or the Cassidy incident. | | | |
