Yep reckon he could be the difference in us finishing 11th or 12th.

Is that before or after he gets played at prop by Agar

Another masterstroke from HullFC...Long is a legend of the game and has been one of the best players of the modern era.

but Saints knew exactly what they were doing when they offered him a one year deal, he's injury prone and a spent-force.

no doubt we'll be lining up young Keith Senior as next seasons 'marquee' signing

Swainesque situation developing? Someone better than Sharp this time, please.

All talk of a bust up seems odd to me, Long looked today pretty much the same as he has throughout his time here, he has broke the line a few times but his influence as a playmaker has been minimal, and his kicking game garbage. I have said all off season the biggest worry is not getting Long on the field, but getting him playing well.

im so negative at the moment i dont think an andrew johns in his prime could get us going unless we have a coach who can get the best out of this set of talented players....

Who is going to replace him at 7? You've just signed a full back and a [ihooker[/i, cant see it been any of them??

Obst to me looks like he will be a better option then Long anyways in this position, although we should have bought Gareth Moore and gave him a shot, that would allow Obst to be interchange hooker, as it stands Houghton will be flogged playing 80 mins.

Bring in Daniel Anderson.

You really need to give this up as you're just making yourself look sulky and a bit daft.

Id have Sharp over Agar anytime of the week and Sharp was sacked for a lot less than what Agar is doing.

You've hit it on the head there, sharpy was made a scapegoat by the board, he was made out to be the bad one when in fact agar has done no better so you all need to ask why is agar so special...............

To be fair to him i think alot of that is due to the tactics as our tackle 4 play is to find the middle of the pitch (unless we are in the oppositions 30) so that we force both wingers to drop back for the kick. Our tackle 3 is the only play where we try to play with some width.
