Quote ="Ghost Rider"I have to admit that I slightly favour Boyd as he was my boyhood hero, but that no way takes the edge off Morely. Both being outstanding players. The game is different now, so to compare is probably not very fair.
I just regard myself as being very lucky to have seen them both wear the Primrose and Blue for Warrington.
I still watch the 1986 Premiership Cup Final occasionally and regard it as one of my most cherished memories from that era. This only recently being surpassed with us winning the Challenge Cup last year – something I have waited over 25 years for…

Ill second that post
I recently watched the premiership final and those posters that are of the opinion fans like us remember this era through Rose tinted glasses would do well to watch this game.
What amazed me was the pace of the game the first time a had watched it some twenty years after the final itself I was expecting to see a slow game with the odd flash of ball handling and the only pace on show being Brian Johnson...how wrong I was....
the pace of the play the balls, and the running of Boyd tamati and Jackson and the considerably younger Mike Gregory was quite brilliant....
on boyd what he did after being out of the game for so long due to his ban was also quite incredible ...with his reputation he got far more "attention" than Morley has ever got.... so playing so well as well as having to deal with that just edges him for me
if they were to ask for a greatest ever wire team tommorrow boyd and Morley would be my two props...without hesitation...
