darren albert, joey hayes, anthony sullivan, sunbed, anthony stewart, sean hoppe, chris smith, faumati all better than this muppet!!! he's rubbish, remember a semi-final against hull?? if any other superleague manager had the brain of john kear they'd do the same as hull did to us that day, he's dire

Utter nonsense chappie.

I'd take Gardner over all those except Sullivan (only due to pace) and Albert.

I think the words you're looking for are "front end, toe end"

fooking inconsistent.

bit like sean long who everyone seems to be raving about on here

Long has consistently been the top halfback in the league for many a year. If he's that inconsistent then how did he win a Man of Steel or player of the year?

You can't rule out the mental side of the game and go on skills alone, it's the whole package that makes the player.

Long has won us trophies for a far longer period than Goulding did. There can be only one choice in a team of the SL era.

He's been consistently excellent over the course of a season for over 10 years now, unless you are talking about odd games, but if that's the case you can rule [ieveryone[/i out.

I agree with you, but Longy had more support from the club when he needed it (gamblegate) than Bobbie did
