| Quote: Asim "Long also provides the added advantage of a quality scrum half by scoring and making a decent share of tries.'"
Longy has scored about 153 tries, his kicking of the 1000 goals has been on a part time basis. For 4 seasons it use to be scully for 400+ goals also Lyon kicked quite a few.
So if Longy kicked all through his match career his potential would have been closer to 1500 goals.
Does that mean people are casting judgement on his 2009 performance. |

| Quote: Mugwump "True. Long is wide open to criticism, but his influence over that period is undeniable. I've lost count of the number of times he's been written off and then returned with a big game at crunch time.
He's also a genuine character. Love him or loathe him, the game would be poorer without him.'"
Spot on, I'm in the latter category  but the game needs the Long, Newton, Jimmy Lowes characters. |

Shows how much you know. Its a well documented fact he hates kicking and doesnt want to kick but does so because there is no one else. |

no wonder he hates it hes just not that good at it, theres got to be several people in the squad who are better than him, the scary part is that if they had a better kicker then theyd prob be unbeatable |

Saints aren't good enough to carry on missing GK's, it will start to count in the bigger matches can't keep scoring 3 tries for the oppositions 2.

While the rest of Super League continues to march backwards at a pace, that won't matter.
The only sides who look to have improved are Shudds, who we beat away and Hull, who are looking at fielding 13 NRL players. |

Four or so years ago I would have no problem including Newton in that list. But the Long/Gilmour (as well as a number of other blatant head shots) incident left a nasty taste in my mouth.

| Quote: Judder Man "I don,t think it was 2000 goals for Deacon it was 2000 points, he has scored about 2500 points with Longy on about the same.
So if people are saying that Longy is not a good goalkicker does that mean Deacon isn.t either.'"
Apart from Long has played 2 seasons more than Deacon and Deacon wasn't first choice kicker until 2002 |

Scully was our first choice kicker for 3 1/2 seasons and Lyon for a season after that accruing about 450 goals between them. That time Longy was just part time.
Just imagine if he did it full time and showed some interest in kicking he would be setting superleague records for kicking. So you got to say his 1000 + goals have been on a casual basis, I think he has also achieved 1 of his 3 Lance Todd Trophies on his kicking performance.
So when people slag him off for being a bad goalkicker...people need to know the facts. |
