Quote ="CHEWIE7"Ahhh yes, but Sean Long is a thinking player, a master of his craft. Plus at the time....probably the best scrum half on the planet, wheras Jamie Peacock is....well.....just a player that can run into other players really fast!
I believe Longy's version of events on that tour (and not just cos he's an FC player now!) A genius like Longy had the RL world to show off to, playing against the Aussies for GB is one of a players dreams.....But Brian Noble and his coaching staff and their 'methods' made this genius SH wanna 'just go home' cos the team weren't prepared.
I think a lot of you are clutching at straws to think that Nobby could turn Hull FC around. We aint Bradford and we are definately not an 'on its ass waiting to be rescued Wigan'. We'll come good. Its a really bad start, but I see an even better finish this year!'"
You believe Long because he's a scrum half and Peacock is a forward? How utterly ridiculous. Oh, and, Long has never been the best Scrum Half on the planet.
Peacock seems to be a model professional. At least, I've never read anything to suggest that he's not. You could argue on that basis that his word has more value than that of a p*sshead like Long.
