Crickey....not good, feel for Longy hope he is more comfortable today.

Hopefully he might be back playing before the end of the season if not get well soon Longy in my eyes(and the majority of Saints fans) you are a true legend.

I'll probably get lambasted, pillaged, raped and flogged for saying this....

....but I actually think a half-back combo of Berrigan and Tansey at 6 & 7 (Whiting to FB) wouldn't be to shabby at all. Playing behind a firing pack i'd still fancy a top 6 finish.

Alas, i'm sure the season will fade out with a combo of Horne and Washy.

Not injury prone? Have you read his book? He lists his injuries in there, he's had some terrible injuries over the years.

Maybe I've watched saints more than saintsfan.

When you call a player injury prone the general implication is that there is something about them, normally age or fitness, that makes them more likely to get an injury. Hence my perfectly reasonable and, TBH, mildly phrased question. I'm not sure why you've flown off the handle and taken it as some sort of challenge to your on-line integrity. Guilty conscience maybe?

I don't mention age or fitness. Some players are more prone to injury. Why? Nobody knows.

You seem to think Im happy longy is injured! Let me put you straight on that matter.

Longy in my eyes is a pure legend. He's one of the best players I've ever seen. IMO he is the best player to play in super league. It was worth paying the entrance fee at saints just to see him play!

Has the been a better match winner than longy? I doubt it. Last min drop goals in finals, few drop goals against wolves, kicks off the touchline. He is a born winner!

He however does pick up alot of injuries, every week he seems to be playing with a injury.

I was very sad when saints let longy go but it was best for the club.

If saints don't win the grand final this year I want hull fc to win it, not because I like hull but because I love longy.

There you go again. Maybe you could point out where I've even [iimplied[/i such a thing.

Believe me, mate - if I thought you were happy about ANY of our players getting injured I wouldn't beat about the bush telling you what I thought.

Agree there mate.Always been a big fan of Longy,was made up when he signed for us.He does seem to be targeted on the pitch.Maybe thats why he is injured so much?

Gutted!!

I doubt we will see him again this season which will hit us really hard and dent any title ambitions we had imo. I hope Agar weighs up all the options available to him and does not automatically for Horne and Washy. There is also Tansey and Berro.

Personally I would leave Tansey at fullback for now and try out Berro and Horne.

That would be my preferred option too. Berrigan seems to be struggling to make an impact at hooker when coming from the bench and Houghton is doing a decent job on his own. Hopefully having Berrigan in the halves will give him more of a chance to get into the game.

I can't believe Long won't play again this season. We have 8 league games plus 2 weekends off for the challenge cup, before the playoffs.
So for him to be out for more than 10 weeks would be very unlucky indeed

Josh Cordoba dislocated his elbow in mid April and made his comeback last week.

that was a bad one....bloody awful infact......his elbow was twisted the other way....

So that's about 9 weeks then. It would have to be a really bad dislocation for him not to be back for the playoffs
