Beg Kel Coslett to don the boots and kick a few bloody goals!!!!!!!!......It`s gonna do my head in when we play them lot and Sinfield does nowt all game......except for knocking `em over from the touchline.......blindfolded........and back-heeling `em!!!!!....PAH!

Rant over.Carry on.

It is a concern, but maybe having the player who has been our scrum half for the last 10 YEARS out through injury for a long time has been a factor?

I remember how terrible we used to be without Long under Millward and Anderson. It's not a new thing. Eastmond is a good player but he is very raw. Even with Long playing poorly all season we had more direction and options in the final third.

Get Longy back and firing behind a pack with some big men back, we'll start looking more dangerous.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see us win at Leeds either.

I agree it is the manner of how we been losing games.

Also even in some games we have won, we have played pretty poor.

How long was Long out injured prior to the 2007 grand final? It's just that we managed to secure top spot in the league and get into the grand final without him at that stage but I can't remember if he was just a couple of weeks out or for as long a time as he has been out this season.

about 5 games from memory and matty smith did a great job filling in

I'm pretty sure smith played about 11 games when longy was out. I think we was on something like 8 game winning run when longy came back.

IIRC longy came back for cc final then didn't play until playoffs.
