Morley helped condemn Harrison's Reds to a 50-18 defeat on Sunday

Warrington forward Adrian Morley has urged hometown club Salford not to sack under-pressure coach Karl Harrison.

The Reds remain rooted to the foot of Super League after their 50-18 loss to Warrington in Cardiff on Sunday.

But Morley insisted: "Karl hasn't become a bad coach overnight. He's the right man for the job and the club should keep faith and stick with him."

Harrison led Salford into the play-offs for the first time in their history last season.

He earned a new three-year contract in the process and such was his burgeoning reputation he was even being talked of as a future Great Britain coach.

However, his fortunes have dipped markedly since the end of 2006 and Salford now find themselves three points adrift at the bottom of the table after 13 rounds of Super League XII.

Their cause has not been helped by a series of injuries, with Michael Korkidas, Ian Sibbit and Jordan Turner joining the casualty list after the 10-try loss to the Wolves.

Harrison is confident he can turn things around and says the club's current problems will only make the players stronger.

And Morley, who made his name with Leeds before joining Sydney Roosters in the NRL, agrees.

"I'd hate to see them go down and I'm hoping they can dig themselves out of it," he said. "I think they can.

"Huddersfield kept faith with Jon Sharp and looks what's happened to them. Super League is that tight now that if you are not on the ball you get beat."

Morley knows how injuries can tear the heart out of a team.

The Wolves have been without a number of their own big names this season, which the forward says is partly to blame for their faltering start.

Morley, who celebrates his 30th birthday later this week, has suffered more than most, fracturing an eye socket and then breaking a cheekbone.

Now he is fit and looking forward to helping Warrington move up the table.

"We've had a terrible run of injuries that would have affected any side," said the Great Britain international, who is in his first season with the club.
