Remember the gamble Anderson took on him in 2007 at OT???
Leave him out if he's not 100% and on the bench if he is.
Eastmond is the man now and has done nothing to warrant being dropped!

In fairness though Long was one of our better performers on the night, which doesn't say much i guess when hardly anyone performed particularly well.

It probably depends on Roby's fitness as well. If he is still out it may be worth a gamble of Long starting on the bench and coming on for Keiron with Eastmond shifting to 9 for a while.

i'd rather have roby back, he adds another dimension to our play

Agreed - it's a fallacy that Long coming back cost us in that game. He set up the first try with an excellent break but was let down by his forwards.

And to be fair, Leeds were red hot.

You know, I wish people would read the article before wading in...

do not drop kyle !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! long should not play for Saints ever again he's picked his new club so let the old man go and bring in the future.

A slight over-reaction to Longy's leaving if you ask me.

i didnt ! but a crooked uninterested/unfit Long V Eastmand NO CONTEST

How do you know he is uninterested?

I think eastmond as earned is rite to play in the semi final.

It will be a tough call for potter.

well he didnt seem interested [ and did bugger all ] for a month before his injury so whats changed ? when a bloke decides he's going from a club he plays his time out as easy and as painless as he can ! Human nature.
PLAY THE LAD.

A retiring longy is a dangerous beast. The legend wants a 4th Lance Todd, his saints life is over shortly so the only wat for him to leave is with a bow out at Wembley and Old Trafford, and with one more league leaders shield.

Beware on the long.

Agree with that.

When Longy is on form, there aren't many that can touch him.

trouble is you need a long memory
