Ricky Stuart reunites with former NRL prop Adrian Morley to mentor Canberra Raiders' English recruits.
Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart welcomed an old mate to the capital last weekend in a low-key reunion that also gave the Green Machine's English recruits a valuable new mentor.
Adrian Morley was a legendary NRL prop in the 2000s playing for the Sydney Roosters under Stuart. The pair triumphed in the 2002 grand final when the Tri Colours defeated the Warriors, and Morley also played in two subsequent season-deciders that the Roosters lost.
Morley and Stuart have maintained their friendship over the years and it could be argued the former front-rower was the Canberra coach's original inspiration for his ongoing affinity for English players.
