I am beginning to wonder about the signing of sean. Seems very injury prone. Could the money we spent on him have gone elsewhere I dont know its just my thoughts.

Signing Long was always going to be a bit of a gamble, the gamble is still on as far as I can see.

Best await the results of any scan/x ray before we proceed with any further threads on his replacement



Oh and lets not forget Rich Horne in all this as if his injury problems continue then having all our eggs in those two baskets could well turn out to be blown.

Not sure what else the club could have done, at the time of signing Long, no other player was available.

If he out for some time either, play Tansey and Horne at halfbacks, Whiting FB or Berrigan and Horne, Houghton and Washbrook at hooker.

John Clarke isnt getting a game at Warrington at the moment, good solid player and could be worth a lona move to play hooker and use Berrigan in the halfs.

Sean Long is class and if anyone thinks that in his 30s he is an old man then they need to think again - it's not like he's 60 ffs. He is arguably the best half-back in the competition and one of the best in the world and a big game player. Let's see how he does against Leeds in the CC before we judge.

Did anyone see how often he took the ball up to the gain line against Rovers and as a result we made several clean breaks? We haven't seen that since we had Casper (edited to save embarrassment

). We are a much better team with him in the side and pose a much bigger attacking threat from anywhere on the park.

Do you think I underplayed the sarcasm?

Perhaps a disclaimer alerting the reader to the sarcasm might have been appropriate. In big red letters.

Lets hope Long is okay for the leeds games,he needs to start forming a good understanding with Horney

If it was a break surely that could of been diagnosed quicker. What was up with horney yesterday?

Horne's knee swelled after the dobbins game apparently,

ok i agree we haven't seen the best of longy playing alongside rich horne yet but had he not come off injured yesterday, he may have gone on to have a really good game...who knows?!

i don't believe he is crocked either since he has looked after himself on the pitch over the years

i really hope he is back for the CC game againts leeds cos then he will probably play his best game for us so far. fingers crossed!

Injury must be bad . All quiet does not bode well .
