Nobody could accuse long of not being 'up for it' tonight. Leaving aside the other incidents already discussed on here, did anyone else notice the bollocking he handed out to Sam Moa and Rich Whiting after (i think) Cas's last try? Extremely animated and very angry.

id love to see this alleged high tackle of isa on long again has from where i was sat about 10 yards from it i saw no high tackle but a man on ball tackle across the body of long which saved a certain try which clearly shook long up and left him clutching his SHOULDER.what happend next was long losing his head twice and rightly been sent off for trying to deccapetate jacob emmit with his elbow.

Since they lucked out with some decent form and easy fixtures it seems.

Hmmm....when Long was sin-binned with who-ever it was...Childs indicated use of the elbow by the cas player...why wasnt he sent off then? How the hell you didnt have more sin-binned is beyond me.

Or they have a coach who knows how to get the best out of them....they was average last night and bloody niggly but still won...look at the table..they have 6/7 wins to our 2/7...yeah,luck has a lot to do with it eh.

Even Cas fans arrogance is Agar's fault!



Personally, I still blame Blacklock.

Just seen the sending off on Sky Sports News and it doesn't look great, the elbow was defo raised. Longy definitely got this wrong. I didn't see much in Radder's sin binning though.

It also showed Agar and Matterson ripping into Childs too, but didn't show our tries apart from Fitzy's.

Luck has something to do with it, yes. And these same fans were calling for Matterson's head not that long ago.

2 Match ban then.

When Long signed for us I was overjoyed.Always been a big fan of his,thought that though past his best he still had a lot to offer.
Have to say though whilst he has been here I have been more disappointed than a disappointed man in a disappointment shop.

Thought Long was pretty good last night with ball in hand as he has been for a lot of this season. Richard Horne was the weakest half on the pitch IMO and had his worst game at SO since he came back from injury - virtually anonymous.
