You have to ask yourself, what are Hulls ambitions? None of the big 4 clubs would have taken long so why did Hull? He wouldnt have come cheap either.

Saints have a rule that when you hit 30, you get offered a one year deal max on reduced wages. No room for sentiment.

I think for Hull to kick on, they have to try and fill the spine positions (1,6,7,9,13) with good quality players who arent comming to the end of their careers and players who wont just play for a season or two before moving on. Berrigan was a fantastic signing, but you lack the quality in the other positions.

Look at the successful teams and they always have stability, year on year in these positions.

Whats the academy like at hull? Any startlets waiting in the wings to fill these key positions?

This may have already been mentioned but, there is a Q&A session with Long here www.totalrl.com/index.php?s=15f7 ... wforum=459 Some of the answers may be on interset when they are put on there.

For me the only way we are going to get the best out of him next year is to sign a pacey no 6.

this would allow Long to drift in and out of play and direct the game, whilst the 6 does the running.

Horne and Long would be an absolute disaster next season, they are both too slow.

The best way to play Long next year is to pick and choose his games. Dont think his body can hack a full season. If we sign a half back i'd like to see Long play 60-70% of games by choice.

Totally agree. The only way to get the best out of Long next year is, injuries aside, to have a pacey SO along side him and that is certainly not Horne.
