He meant Up and down between winners and runners up

But Obst is not just a hooker is he, he's a ball handler and he takes the line on. He will have played far more games at scrum half. He's a massive improvement as an option on what we have had. Yes he could do a job at hooker, no doubt, but he's done enough damage at 7 to plenty of other SL sides to warrant him playing in the halves for us. He had a decent game on sunday, organised us well. Let him roll a while there before folk write him off.

You know nothing of the sort, and TBH levelling an accusation like that at someone of Long's standing on the game is more than a little disrespectful.


Why not try mentioning that to his face rather than spouting insults on an anonymous messageboard?


Yes, it really is that easy. Never mind that the club would be in gross breach of contract, or that we've spent the last few months trying to sign a halfback with zero success. FFS.

Obst is a decent addition to the squad but in all those years at Wakey he never nailed down a spot as their starting 7 so he isn't good enough to be ours. He can fill in better than what we had for sure, but ideally he should be playing hooker.

Kosh you talk a load of sh8t, you come across as a very threatening person!

Or high off his mod status

it's one or the other.

Sorry,

Just seem rather threatening in your posts.

I'm not a defensive person, but I'm bad at reading people sometimes.

Forgive me?

All the rhetoric and rubbish aside , Long was a gamble that hasn't paid off. Long was in many peoples eyes , including Sts fans that I know personally and have been life long fans of his , just about finished. His final year with them was hit and miss at best. It was a big ask for a more or less one club player to leave his beloved Saints and that team that was like a family to him to start again in Hull. I guess that his intentions were and probably still are good but it just hasn't happened and the longer he's injured the older he's getting and the harder it will be mentally and physically.
His signing is like a number we've made , not the player we needed at that time but one that was available and affordable and there was no one else that would come/was available. No doubt if he went back to saints now to replace Eastmond he'd be the local hero returning and he'd lift them and they'd lift him. It's a world of difference doing it here though. It will be interesting to see how Saints replace Eastmond.

He can play halfback aswell, is more consistently involved than long is in a game and will probably go well. But i expect him to be dropped as soon as Long is fit.
