Quote: berro's best mate "who gives crap wether he can defend. some of the best half backs have been shocking defenders... long being a classic example.... lets be fair,dobson,chase,and afew others wont be topping the tackle completed tables, but they'll all be there at the top of the assist table, and thats waht we need, a creator not a tacking machine, we had one of them in dave webber, but he was turd with ball in hand... cant have it all im afraid...and anyways, if dobson and chase could tackle, theyd both be in the nrl probably'"
Biggest myth going that, Long was a fine defender for a h/back and we even witnessed that during his very short time with us, as is Danny Brough.
