I do tend to look at the club through primrose and blue tinted spectacles but I like to think that, as stated somewhere else on the forum, the club is letting Moz and Gaz leave with dignity, not announcing their replacements before we have had a chance to thank them both for their fine contributions over the last few years.



No doubting that both will be warmly welcomed back when visiting with their new clubs and fair to say that they were top blokes both on and off the field and helped turn around the alleged brewery filled underachieving aura that surrounded the club prior to their arrivals.



Good luck to them both.

He's always been my favourite 'non Wigan' player and is a living legend. He has beaten our pack before we've even started games against Wire at times these past 7 years through a sheer intimidation factor. The Wire pack as a whole have played well against us but this bloke has been the catalyst.



Saying all that I think the time is right. He's not playing as much and his influence isn't as great. We certainly haven't looked intimidated by him this year and that's the first time I can remember that to be the case which says to me he's winding down.



It's a nice way to end his career tbh.

Absolutely gutted ! But sadly we all knew it was coming.



Moz has become a legend in his own playing era.



He has gone from being a fiery, hot-headed almost lethal young hit-man, maturing into one of the most sensible, reliable leaders in the game.



He was both feared and respected by peers in both hemispheres.



How many current players can distract the opposition simply by being on the field ? Just the threat.



We have some good young forwards in the club and there are many more in SL and the NRL.

But a replacement for Moz ? Thats going to be a very tall order. Moz is something of a throw-back to the hard days. They just don't make 'em like him any more !



Well played Moz !!



Thanks for the memories and every best wish for the future.

So who is to replace Moz?

Also who've you got coming in instead of Carvell & Cooper?

That's real quality leaving, what are the rumours re their replacements?

Great memories from Moz, good luck in the future.



James Graham is the replacement - No rumour!

Have been incredibly impressed with his discipline since he joined us. I think he's only ever been son binned once..... Might be wrong on that.



Although my favourite memory was him against Castleford a few years back. McGoldrick stood on his hand as he was playing the ball so Morley just stepped forward and gave him what looked like a nothing slap. Next thing Mcgoldrick was all over the place and M Monas was sending the next 2/3 runners straight at him.

It wasn't something anyone picked up on and could only see it in the corner of the TV screen when it happened.

And Michael Monaghan too I would imagine - out of contract and struggling with fitness.



After watching Higham and Wood perform on Monday I would love to see both of them signed up for next year. With no additions our props would probably be Hill, Wood, Harrison and possibly Westwood with Higham and Dwyer at hooker. I would like to see an additional hooker and prop come in.

Isn't the replacement already here in Chris Hill? Would like to see an impact prop brought in.

Morley gone is an apt title. He's finished as a player and carries no impact at all.



It's a terrible signing for Salford, a nice PR piece, but he'll offer them nothing next season bar a professional attitude. One has to shudder at the wages he'll be on at Salford as well.

Great player only really apprecited him when signed for us. Lots of cap space freed up I suppose.



We need a new front row to match Moz, Monas and Carv in their prime

Great way for him to finish by going home, also a very good signing for Salford.
