He's great on his day (as he showed) but he's such a confidence player so you need to hit him early - he has no bottle and if you get amongst him early he doesn't want to know. Jason Hooper would have sorted him out.

Of course you will. That is, you will have to remodel your team as your older players become too old. Every team has to go through it. Leeds are having to do the same thing. People don't last forever you know!

But Bobbie won us some silverware. Bombed Bradford to death!

who was replaced by Longy, and he was definitely better than briers

He was 'replaced' by Sean Long, Bobby was already at the club when Lee replaced him for just 6 games during Bobby's 8 match suspension, Lee scored 1 try and kicked 24 goals before moving to Warrington in the April of 1997 after being left out of the squad for the Challenge cup final which, given Bobby was the club captain and was vastly more experienced, was hardly surprising to most.

Saints duly signed Longy from Widnes in the June to solve their subsequent lack of cover in the halves, he went on to play 11 matches as scrum half and 8 matches as stand off that season yielding a return of 7 tries and 40 goals.

Yes Bobby left in 1998 but it was to Huddersfield not Wakefield and by that point Sean (who is nearly 2 years older than Lee) had proven over 36 games to be a suitable replacement in the halves.

Jaybs isn't a Warrington fan.
