With typical under-statement, Saints coach Mick Potter said: "Sean Long didn't surprise me. We all know how good he is and he should be happy with the way he went." That could be translated as, "damn him, damn, damn him, the little ...":d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_44592.jpg |

I maybe wrong but I thought he worked with Nobby at International level. I personally consider Nobby a top class coach. |

| Quote: trys'r'us "Sinfield's a ball player, but I wouldn't say the other two are. They can pass and kick, very well, but they are still grafters (as is Sinfield as well, just to a lesser extent with the ball) and that is their main role in the team. They use the ball to add in something a bit different to the usual options and I think that's what Washbrook offers from 13. He'll tackle for 80 minutes and can take 15 hit-ups a game, but he has good hands when the option is there. Radford doesn't and Fitzgibbon, whilst being better, doesn't really either. That wouldn't be a problem if our halves and fullback were in every match and on form, but, Tansey aside, they haven't been, which means we are lacking due to not having an extra option occasionally.'"
I used these 'type' of players as an example for championing the "traditional" loose forward; they're not bulked up 3rd prop players, they're mobile and with a greater all round ability than your average forward. The players I picked have enough skills to play in the halves if need be (and regularly do) I'd put Washbrook in there with them. |

| Quote: Big Dave T "Well put. So with our lack of creativity and injuries in the halves would it not make more sense for Agar to alter his plans and play a ball playing 13 to help us? I wouldnt mind Turner and Horne in the halves if Washy played 13. (i see Turner and Horne both as runners)'"
Therein lies the problem for me. At times too predictable and easy to defend against. |

That is what you get signing a player of that age, but its games like todays that you need him to step up and perform, and in the past he has done it on the big stage |

Thats why the team needs him today, hes a big game player, i wouldnt be bothered if it were a league game. If hes out, so be it, weve played plenty of game time without him this year and even when hes played hes only looked good at saints and also defensively at kr. |
