If only he had been virtually anonymous our attack might not have stopped every time he got hold of the ball

Definitely deserved to go. He may get a couple of games less than he might given his previous good record and the furore surrounding the refs performance.

Typical that it happens when he finally strings together a run of games and didn't get injured again last night

Completely agree - however he is one of the most experienced players in the game. There is no excuse for that level of unprofessionalism, he could have done serious damage. As you say, it is not acceptable. I imagine Hull FC will take his punishment on this one.

None of that excuses that out-and-out dirty play from Castleford and the inept management of that that caused him to see the red mist in the first place.

People have talked a lot about Long's performances in recent weeks but the issue for me has been Horne, both Obst and Long have done okay but Horney has been shockingly bad.

He has only produced a few decent games in the last few years Paul tbh...Very sad state of affairs, it pains me to say but I do not think he can cut it at this level consistently any-more

I thought Long played well on Friday (his kicking could have been more consistent), and I like that Obst, he's a little terrier and puts it about a lot on the pitch.

What is my assumption? I haven't made one.


I find it quite ironic that a lot of Hull fans are accusing us of being dirty especially with the above picture of an experienced scrum half attempting to elbow a young lad in the head.

Long is just a dirty tw4t and should be shot for this. What a scummer. I find it ironic that even BBC humberside commentators said after game he didn't do anything wrong. You could see it clear in the stand.

I don't care what you say but there is no excuse for that. Could end a guys career if that connects to skull/face properly. Disgrace. How can hull fans say we played dirty? I bet half of you still think nothing happened.

Most fans on Friday night said they had not seen it properley, no we have I have no problem with Long being banned.

Don't play the innocent though, Ferres is one of the dirtiest players around and was at it all night on Friday.

Yeh but did you see him go with a diving elbow? One of the dirtiest things I've seen in rugby league. I'm sure you will agree there is no need for that under any circumstances. Ferres was a joke and should have been sin binned. Both teams were at it though but one certain player had to take it too far. If he was on pitch for last 6 mins he would have probably won you the game. Now he should be missing next 3 week for 5 seconds of being a t1t.

I do find it funny how fc fans saw long get took head high clearly but not longs elbow even though it happened same part of pitch 2 mins after each other. explain that one. The elbow was do much more clear than the high shot.

Didn't see the incidents that clearly on Friday night (sat too far away),
but have seen both since on Sky and from my better judgement I'd say, the ref??????? got one right and one wrong.

What I do find funny is, you as a Cas fan didn't see the first incident that well, or are you just as blinkered, as you say we are?

How many games do we think Sean will get?

The picture shows he didn't miss and the red card was 100% deserved. Will all the shouting about Child help long get off lightly do you think? He's definitely looking at atleast a few games because It was the elbow.

I think he will get more because of the yellow card incident if it is reviewed. Because it was in back play, Child saw it late and probably made the only decision he could. When this is reviewed however, it was 3 on 1 and Sean long landed at least 10 punches to the face of a player being held back. I think if any of the officials saw this properly Sean would have seen red then.

With both incidents combined if looked at I think he should be out until after Easter because of how dirty and cowardly both incidents were

Unfortunately he cost you the game tonight, as bad as Child was

I'm not excusing Long, but if the ref had done his job properly and penalised the head high shot on him seconds earlier, he would never have done what he did.

Long is old enough and experienced enough to know better but it just shows how frustrated he was.

If Castleford hadn't been head hunting cheats all game then we'd be having a very different conversation.

Cas used to be my second team, that's gone after Friday, scumbag team.
