And he wasn't wrong.
Spirit, while there in abundance yet again, cannot be relied on to grind out a result and the visitors found themselves under the cosh as a robust and skilful Redruth side delivered a series of energy-sapping body blows before despatching the visitors to the canvas.
Morgan added that it could have been an even worse result than the 59-0 drubbing by Westcombe Park in January and it was only that renowned Halifax grit, coupled with some loose play from the hosts that stopped the scoreline looking even more one-sided.
It is bad enough to make such a long and arduous journey. But to do it and have very little in the way of positivity at the end of it is just galling and there will be few in the Halifax camp who have feelings of regret that for next season at least, rogue cup draws excepting, trips of this magnitude will be non-existent.
Redruth held all the aces and in flanker Steven Wood and No 8 Mark Bright had the forward power to break and destroy most of Halifax's resistance while the talented back division, with winger Rob Thirlby a constant thorn, had the pace and guile to unlock the tightest of situations.
Roared on by their usual partisan crowd, Redruth were quick out of the blocks, pinning Halifax back with a series of strong forward drives which the visitors had to work hard to repel.
But the red shirts just kept coming and eventually broke the resistance when a swift move saw Rob Thirlby race in for stand off Gareth Griffiths to land a lofted conversion.
Joe Knowles was handed a difficult opportunity to reduce the deficit with a penalty after Redruth had been adjudged offside but his kick from just inside the Redruth half sailed wide.
Redruth were soon back on the attack and doubled their advantage just before the quarter hour mark, another period of softening up Halifax's defences rewarded with Bright bursting over, Griffiths again adding the extra two.
Knowles quickened the Halifax pulses with a searing break from his own half after fielding scrum half Mark Richards's long kick forward.
However, he was pulled up illegally midway in enemy territory, Redruth having lock Damien Cook stretchered off after his involvement, and Knowles hammered the kick over for 14-3.
But Redruth continued to look the more likely to add to their tally and it was a mixture of dogged defence and some sloppy handling errors that stopped them getting over the try-line again before the break.
And normal service was resumed early in the second period as again the forwards laid the platform with another series of drives which resulted in a scrum in front of the Halifax posts which was meat and drink for Bright who peeled away from the back and bullied his way over.
Bright was almost over for his hat-trick moments later only to be stopped by a brave tackle from scrum half Ronan Dillon but Redruth kept the move alive and Paul Thirlby received a fine pass and did the rest, Griffiths converting for a 26-3 lead.
Three minutes later and Redruth's dominance was all but complete as they again broke the Halifax defence for PJ Gidlow to force his way over.
Halifax were not seen as an attacking force and that situation didn't look likely to improve after Will Kay saw yellow for a professional foul after the referee had warned the visitors on a number of occassions about being offside at the ruck.
They failed to learn their lesson and from the next scrum and drive they infringed once too often and the official promptly awarded a penalty try which Griffiths converted easily in front of the posts.
There was time for Dave Hall to make a promising break only to be tackled when he looked as though he might be through, but fittingly it was Redruth who finished the game on top with Knowles performing an excellent cover tackle on Ben Fox as the flanker looked to pave an unstoppable run to the line.

STAR MAN
Matt Harrison is going to be a major loss to Halifax over the next two weeks.
The all-action Kiwi forward is returning to New Zealand for family reasons and the void he leaves will be mighty hard to fill.
As it happens he might not have been allowed to play at Manchester on Saturday anyway, having taken a bang to the face that left him with a broken nose and the Redruth doctor advising he should not play for two weeks.
But that sums up Harrison's approach. Broken nose or not, he piles into every situation and while he struggled to make ground against a heavier and well-drilled pack, he was still at the forefront, making sure he was in the right place to get his hands on the ball and at least attempt to drive Halifax forward while backing up another strong defensive game to boot.
Dominic Moon came back into the side after a long time out with a knee injury and took up from where he left off.
He had been slow to impose himself on games this season, but in the three weeks leading to his injury he had started to show excellent form.
That determination not to be beaten was back while, like Harrison, he threw himself into the contact areas with little thought for his own welfare, picking the ball up from a creaking scrum and driving it forward.
There were a number of candidates for the third point, but Dave Hall nicks the verdict due to his willingness to get involved in everything. He ran well, defended admirably and tackled superbly - in other words playing as though the result meant something to him even in adversity.
