longy will do for us will be even better when he brings his mate with him

I said i was a novice on how to use the forum, so not sure what your point is.

Post of the weekso far!!

Long will be a huge miss for Saints, and a great bit of business for hull. On the question of his fitness, he has missed games this season, but only for a broken eye socket, he isn't injury prone like a Sculthorpe for instance. He did have dodgy knees early in his career, but has been ok for 6 or 7 season now? I think he is capable of playing most of your games next year, and if you get to a big game, he is capable of winning it for you. Not too sure about his coaching credentials though!!

We need a scrum half desperately so the club goes and gets the best that is available, granted he is the wrong side of 30 but great players dont lose it just because they reach 30. Look at Jason Smith, finished when he left us but still managed another 2 or 3 years in the hardest league there is, pace had left him long ago but that rugby brain still ran quicker than guys 10 years younger enabling him to create problems for the opposition and still be a valuable player for his coach to rely on.
