he was never out for the season, they said he could of been back for the challenge cup final if they got there, but not the semi's, i hope he's fully fit to be honest... but he is still a saints player afterall.

The kicking game could have earned them momentum and they did have plenty of ball on the Hudds line so Long could have made the difference. |

Motto of the week -
It is the way of the weak to secretly bleat to those in authority rather than fight their own battles.:27608.jpg |

Coulda, woulda, shoulda.
His kicking to the corners may have caused Hudds problems but as i said they generally defend them pretty well. As for a his long kicking game Hudds cleared their lines well most of the time and when they didn't the defended their goal line superbly and closer to the line i think Eastmond is more of a threat than Long anyways. Pryce was getting the ball in the same positions as he would had Long been playing but Hudds line speed nullified his threat.
Just my opinion mind.  |

It was a big game and you only have to look at how many Lance Todd's and motm awards he has in big games to know he could have been the difference.
Only my opinion mind

It's hard to say that Long would of changed the game, but, he's a big game player and has won games like that many a time before, but i sure do think Saints are missing him slightly.

Saints missed Long in the Semi .......he would have kicked them so they had to run back off their own try line, time and time again. With the heat on the pitch that day, the big lads of Hudds would have surely felt it more.
Also I won't even think of a couple of 40/20 that his experience would have employed. Even little Lukie was sweating buckets so imagine Eorl and such. ....as pep say, just my opinion!
I will enjoy the final to see how the coaches utilise the squad,weather and tactics.......grannyfan Cindy
