I was watching without the emotional Sean Long tinted glasses,
he was noticed tonight by his two try saving tackles,
we have a full team that do that i want a creative scrum halve that opens teams up,
not one that stands at first reciever and shouts now and again. Dont get me wrong,
hell of a player two years ago in a quality side, but now past his best unfortunately for us.

I hope your right, and we do need an organiser.
But more important we need an explosive general that creates for the likes of Horne,
Manu and Yeaman gaps have to be created nowadays in my opinion

martin offiah, imagine he'll have contacts in both codes so could be some truth in it, hope not big blow to english rugby league

I would agree two years ago

Get frigged knöbhead. Cooke is the answer to all.
But thanks for your interest in Hull's premier and original rugby league team.

he claims we are buying him a house in todays Sun

doesn't he realise that Hull are stingy they probably meant a Wendy House!

i recon that if senior or gidley had pulled off that tackle then eddie,stevo and clarky would have shot there load over it...it was a class tackle but what was the wigan lad thinking?? was it mc illorum??

I have a lot of time for Hull fans. I've enjoyed some good chats and banter with them, win or lose. But you are sounding a bit daft. I don't think any Saints fan would claim you are getting Sean Long at the peak of his career. That happened a few years ago. However, to claim that all he does is stand at first receiver and shouts now and again is, well, just daft. You need to watch him more closely and educate yourself.

Think Long is an ok signing. Can't argue with his pedigree but we're not exactly going to build a team around him. My only worry is that if he gets injured were pretty much back to where we are now. Good go forward with no clue in the last 20. I fear another poor season unless we sign a stand off and move Horne.

He is just what we need he is stong,organises, inspires and has the respect of those around him, something we are used to at scrum half... Not!

He will come in and do what Kieth Hepworth and Kevin Dick dd in the past, those two tackle last night showed real determination and were first class and the try he scored was down to sheer strenght and desire. I thought it was interesting what Wilkin said after the game about Saints having in the past relied on slight of foot and being quick off the mark to win games, now he says the forwards are becoming more and more involved with the out come of mtches. Long has adapted his game to suit that style of play.

Next season there will I believe be a lot of slugathons and our new pack should be well suited to that!

He's a character and a winner and He'll do for me!

I'm willing to give him a chance to prove himself before criticising (Just as I did with Thorman)
