Quote: LovesToSpooge "One thing I will say about Cunningham is that he'll the biggest loss Saints could ever suffer when he goes, the difference when he is on the pitch and off it is immense and I include when Roby is in the team as well. Very much like Farrel was for us he's there leader and tallisman and will be a huge loss that will take a lot out of saints even with them having Roby and Moore as replacements, in my eyes he is irreplaceable.'"
Spot on there.
While he was off the pitch they Saints team looked lost. Without Long and Cunningham guiding the team roung Pryce looked lost as did the rest of the team.
Its going to be a very interesting situation for Saints when they are both gone (as Long will have after this season) how they will cope without the players who have led them for so long now.
Matterson was 100% correct when he disagreed with Steveo that they are more effective without Long, Im sorry but as much as I hate Long he is a vital player for Saints, regardless of whether they have Eastmond, Wheeler or whoever.
