I take it that Long has put his plans to play in the NRL on hold?

I think that's a bit of a silly comment, to be honest. He's a well paid professional rugby league player and one aspect of his job is to convert any tries we happen to score. At one stage in the season he had only kicked two from eleven attempts. That's terrible. He's now pretty much back to where he has been for a couple of years: no-one knows which boots he has on and when. He can miss a relatively simple kick then kick a blinder from the touchline (as he did at Catalans). I said we fans find it frustrating, not that he should be hung, drawn and quartered for it. But this season his lack of consistency has been felt particularly strongly as our matches have generally been very close run things.

have u seen gary schofields page in the sunday star..says longy would be a good signing for the rhino's..

I'll remember him more for being a great player than being a prat. The number of times I've seen him run riot and tear teams to shreds.

He's also one of the characters in the game, and will be missed for that too.

I still don't like him though. But you have to respect his ability and achievments
