| Quote: CHURCHILL "It's funny because the said Hull fan was jubilant, over the moon in fact that his club had signed Sean Long, yet I can see that he is an over aged, no doubt over paid player who has been snapped up by Hull in a panic driven recruitment drive. Add him to a long list of similar players because let's be fair, the club you follow does make a habit of signing such players.
He is an improvement on Thorman, that I have no doubt, he is british which is also a bonus, but a decent signing all round at this stage of his career, no.'"
Decent  He is better than decent, he is a very good player still and proves in most weeks at Saints, he would be the first choice SH at every SL club baring Rovers and Leeds now.
I think i will take Potters and the Saints fans who watch him every week over yours. |

You mean the same Saints fans who are glad to see the back of him? |

As you wish, it's all about opinions I guess and with the season you're having I suppose a dug up Thora Hird would be a welcome addition at scrum half.

I'd go on their board and read the thread again.
Most wanted them to stay (for one year though).
Most have said he is still one of the best halfbacks in the league.
Some think it's time for him to move on, guess we will find out next season who is right.
Who would have thought a NRL reserve grade player like Dobson would do so well for Rovers. |

He spent 11 mins looking for them and when he realised there wasn't any he came back with the greatest line ever... "go buy a shirt and put his name on it" |

The stats are the ones you're using and suggesting he's still a decent player, I'm saying they show a steady decline. |

What I would say about Saints still wanting Long for another year is this;
If Saints really wanted to keep him then he would still be there next year. The reason they offered a one year deal, is that they knew he wouldn't accept it unless forced.
This was the best way for both the club and Long to save face. The club didn't seem to be throwing a legend on the scrap heap, and Long had a fall back offer if non suitable came along.
That said, I think this could be a very good signing for the darkside, but not in the way most of their supporters think.
He will be a massive improvment on what they currently have.
Yes, he IS a proven commodity and a game winner at the highest level in SL.
On the other side of the fence, FC do not have the players that could support Long and his style of play. Playing behind the saints pack is a totally different prospect to playing behind the current crap (opps crop) at FC.
When players get old the tend to have a slower recovery rate, and lets face it FC don't have the best record with injuries.
Worth a gamble though if you ask me, (I know you didn't) as they are very unlikely to sign anyone better in the forceable future.
