Didn't Morley play for both England and us in one weekend?

Probably.

I would be fuming it we lost players for a league match cos they were playing in a stupid friendly

The Aussies backed up within 48 hours........but that is a big ask at any level....to ask players to do it within 24 hours isn't impossible but isn't good prep'.



We have players to replace the missing players but our performance would suffer. I suggest other clubs would have/have had the same problem previously......is this a result of our success and should we moan

About 8 or 9 of them backed up 24 hours later in the Manly v St George game

This is also the same day as England's first WC game IIRC.
