The pair have been good friends since their days together at Leeds, where Morley acted as "minder" to a 16-year-old Carvell, and they will line up together against Huddersfield in Saturday's Carnegie Challenge Cup final. "When I signed for Leeds in 1997, Moz was already there and he used to take me to 'functions' and look after me," said Carvell. "He was quite a big reason for me coming to the club.
