Sheriff to Steeldogs

[Rob Scott]

Rumour on BIH that McMorrow is going to sign for the Sheffield Steeldogs in the EPL.

[Panthers_44]

Seems a strange one, although, on saying that, something tells me that he could be possibly used as a two-way for Steelers, I could be wrong though, but he was rumoured with Steelers.

And they are going to pay him with what?

+1, McMorrow won't play for peanuts, cant see this happening. doesn't mean it won't though.

[Jonzee]

They are going to pay him in false hopes.

[Pies]

They can pay him with their glorious history. All those trophies means players surely want to be paying to play for the steelers!!

[panthers4ever]

They can have him lmao

Rumour is that its a 2 way deal with Steelers as well.

My gut feeling wasn't wrong then? Although, I have to admit, it ain't rocket science to work out what is going on really, Steelers don't need McMorrow full time, but they could probably do with him the odd few times, no doubt when they play us, more bums on seats sort of thing.

imports cant be on a 2 way between eihl and epl also to be a import in epl you need a eu stamp not surexhe has this. doubt he will be at steelers simon doesnt like him if he comes in then its bob philliphs and that could open a can of worms with simon

Intresting since the whole world was told Bob Phillips has nothing to do with the Steelers anymore... ( I am very aware he still has all that influence just like how he will still get blamed even though we are led to believe he has nothing to do with the running anymore)

Oh right, I thought everyone was fair game for 2 way deals.

Signing him could open a can of worms with Simon? Good, we are after a centre Sorry, i'm kidding.

[panthersdave]

As of last season players that didnt hold an EU passport could not play in the EPL.

SO, McMorrow wont be signing if this rule still applies

He would bring nothing to the Steeldogs anyway, no-one would want to fight him so what would be the point?

[warx]

McMorrow holds an irish passport.
Import players cannot have 2 way deals here.

Still begs the question about what use he would be to Steeldogs, Payette was a waste for Phoenix apparently last season

[warx]

No doubt he would be a waste playing wise. Maybe it is a marketing ploy to try and entice a few more fans a couple of games whilst he is there.

Thing with Payette is that Payette could actually play a half decent game of hockey. McMorrow to me is the import version of Andrew Sharp.

Just having Payette there meant players thought twice about cheapshotting - they all knew Andre was considerably bigger and tougher than them.

No-one would dare breathe out of place if McMorrow signed in the EPL because of how he fights, but imports have to be able to play a solid 2 way game and McMorrow cannot do that. Payette was IIRC being used on special teams and 2nd line because of his size. Tony shoved him in front of the net on the PP because he knew anyone managing to move him would be a rare occasion, and Andre at least has the skills to tap in a rebound or wide shot.

[pantherinmanc]

If McMorrow has an Irish passport why did Belfast, and now Dundee, sign him as an import?

[HockeyPlayer07]

Because he isn't british trained.

[rangers]

McMorrow was at peterboro ice rink yesterday. Could also be in discussions with vipers

[pantherinmanc]

Silly rules. Although thinking about it more if it's an ROI passport then it wouldn't make a difference anyway I guess so sily question on my part!

Do have to wonder what a guy with his experience is doing touting himself around the EPL, he must be very desperate to stay in the UK that's all I can say!

[pantherdman]

The Steeldogs with Payette and Mcmorrow!
They'll get more fans in than the Steelers! lol!

McMorrow and Payette in an import limited, mans BNL?LOL, now that Id love to see! It would either shake up the league or prove why nobody in the league signs anyone tough, I know which my money would be on.
