No, but if there was no preferential treatment shown to Morley, he would have received 15 for his previous record for same offence loading.
whilst the tackle did not receive 15 weeks, the individual does.
He is a blind siding cat who goes missing when it matters.
Goes missing when it matters? His performance in the 2002 GF was outstanding. All of his teammates named THAT tackle on Villisanti as the turning point. Throughout the entire 2002 Finals series, he along with Freddy and Fitzy were awesome and led the way.

His performance in the 2003 Semi vs the Dogs was just awesome. Along with Wingy he was our best player. His workload was huge and he took on the whole Dogs pack on his own. In the GF he was even better. It was one of the best displays by a player on a losing side ever. Just ask any expert and they'll tell you the same, which they have done. Most of our team played below their best that night, but Mozz on the other hand stood up tall AS HE ALWAYS DOES in the big games.

I could go on and on and name plenty of big club games aswell where he has been a standout but i dont think i need to say anymore because as biased as people are around here, surely they would realise that you are way off the mark by saying Morley goes missing in the big games.

Didn't say he goes missing in big games
I say he goes missing when it matters.
Like rucking it our from the try line.
As for that tackle on Villa, another of his headline grabbing blindsides.
Watch the cats style, he comes across the face of the ruck or he comes flying in on the first 2 rucks from out wide. usually on the less mobile players.
he is smart though he picks his targets well, like Kimmorley.
When it comes to front rowers in the NRL, few get as many headlines as him for those "hits"(blindsides) but when it comes to tough front rowers, he's way down the scale.
You watch him turn it up when someone lines him up & blindsides him, which is going to happen sooner or later.
Where was he when his country needed him? Off crying in the dressing sheds for another illegal play that he did not get suspended for.

every dog has his day and for dingbat morley it is only a matter of time before the nrl cant save him from himself or the roosters. If a rooster fan cant admit they get great treatment from the nrl, well they must have dipped one too many disco biscuits in their lattees.

I wasn't overly concerned with the Crocker incident this week. A bit late yes, but not really serious.
Last weeks effort however, when he dived at the players knees with his shoulder, is another story. How he didn't go for that is beyond me. That tackle looked as if it was meant to injure the player.

What pisses me off is Ricky Stuart coming on TV and whinging about how the judiciary is picking on Morley for giving him three weeks. He believes that repeated charges are ruining Morley's confidence, which is like claiming yelling at a misbehaving child is bad for his self esteem. The bottom line is that Morley deliberately headhunted Noddy and deserves to go for it. Of course you can't tell me that Stuart hilself didn't tell Morley to do exactly that in the dressing sheds before the game.

I couldnt believe how late that tackle was.
It was later than a millenium train at peak hour.

Well if that's the case, how about the thug cuts down on the repeated offences?

Personally I reckon Crocker's worse. He's more deliberate and malicious. When a penalty goes against his thuggery, he never looks surprised or disappointed. He simply runs back into position, carefree.

He does this, he goes on report yet he still escapes suspension. If some Roosters supporter can explain that to me adequately I will give them a prize.

Morley is a protected species, along with all the Rorters' players. If a Cronulla player, such as Gallen, had committed the same offence he would have been sent off immediately. Morley is a habitual high tackler who should be eradicated as soon as possible.

Crocker, who is totally psyco, only got away with his his indescretion because of the upcoming State of Origin series and the potential Queensland bleeting about not having their players available because of NSW bias.

Ricky Stuart was a fantastic player and has proven to ba a very astute coach, but he complains more than a Dragon supporter when his team loses.
