rlWhat a load of total nonsenserl

So, he's not fit, but he's playing anyway. Remind me again how many weeks he spent on the sidelines last year?

IF Long plays with an achilles problem on Sunday then the club are simply stupid, it's not as if he's even made that much difference this season, would rather see Williams and Obst myself.

Agreed, but maybe he means the 'pain' of having to listen to the unadulterated dross that Agar constantly spouts?

He hasn't been anymore then average when fit anyway in my opinion, apart from maybe one or two games, would rather see Obst given a shot.

Obst for me. Longy may as well sit with our other 'star' halfback on the physio's table.

And we only need halback cover - ok Agar/Rule whatever!

Long will know his body better than anyone else so if he wants to play I would let him.

How much must Nicklas be gutted right now, both 'star' halfbacks are injured, would have been his big shot and showing the rest of the league he's got what it takes.

I agree with the OP though stupid to play an injured player at this stage of the season. Surely it would be beneficial to rest him till he is 100% and get Horne to the best he's ever going to be again and get them both on the park at the same time than have Long out later when Horne returns.

Maybe Longy is just looking to have a lengthy break again.

Agreed, stupid decision typical at our club right now tbh

agreed but if they play him people will moan and if they dont people will moan..

according to some there is nothing wrong with him. the bloke is taking his money and taking the pi$$, the sooner he retires the better, you can count on one finger the decent games he has had for us, agree give Obst a go.

Sound like he's been studying his "Agar's book of metaphors"

[i"It's difficult to ease the pressure and only a win can do that. We just need to dig deep and get off the mark as that will lift the pressure.[/i

Are we behind the 8 ball yet?

Maybe he's getting his ducks in a row

Can we give the guy a break, it's game three of the season.

Granted he's not been the best in the first two games but our record last year with him in the team was good.

If he hadn't have played everyone would have complained so he can't win!

If he is carrying a knock you wonder what he would offer, he has never really been a playmaker, and the games he has stood out it has been from his speed off the mark, buzzing around the field like his Saints days and taking the line on, so if his movement is resricted he wouldn't bring that much, especially has his kicking game has been poor, pointless taking a risk with him when we for the first time we have a very similar player in Obst.

Puts paid to the total BS on here about him not being injured. As Paul M says it's down to the player and medical staff.
