agree about him getting a bit of game time at cas that would of determine wether he was ready or not and the diffrence now between super league and back in 1998 is a huge diffrence

DOBSON!!!!!

QUOTA and SALARY CAP!!!!

I got perm banned for swearing at you on the rovers board


another nice moderator unbanned me

Nice one.

Until Agar goes, it doesn't matter who plays for Hull. They might as well sign me as a replacement, we'd be just as sh*t.

Random

What do you say to that?

This. Sums up exactly why I'm so negative on this forum.

If the board grow a pair and sack Agar and then bring Noble in then Longs days here would be numbered anyway. For me Long brings nothing to the table. He's always injured, has very little influence over a game these days, doesnt have a kicking game and shows very littel interest. Id get rid now and save the cash

I think that's a bit unfair on Long. What you've described there could probably be said about any Hull player at the moment. They're all sh*t, not just Long.

I'm beginning to think Chris Thorman would have been a good signing under a different coach since Long has turned out to play the same way.

Thats because there is no smoke without fire, Long has been putting it about for ages how unhappy he is here, he cant wait to get back to Saints, cant you tell from his performances? he dosnt want to be here, get rid now if we have the chance i say.

Tbh it's all rumours and nothing concrete. He does have family issues which won't be helping.

I went to see York V London Skolars last year and can assure you a different coach makes no difference. In fact I seem to remember his brother playing for London had the better game.

I can't see Saints wanting to sign Long when Lomax is looking like a good option for SH. If he can play well against Leeds then i'd play him most weeks

I think you should get rid
saints will take him off your hands as a favour.

I think everyone knew the risks when we signed Long, and upto now it's not worked out....however I still think we should keep him till the end of the year....yes we have Obst but if Long goes we are back to where we have been....no back up halves if Obst/Horne get injured.

Having watched about 90% of the games Long has played for FC, one thing that has struck me is his clear and open frustration at the lack of quality he was used to at Saints..next time he breaks the line and he has no support, just watch him.

Can you actually remember him breaking the line??? cos i cant? the bloke dosnt want to be here, so get rid and save the cash.

long has been pants since the day after we played saints away over a year ago...that day in the fog, he looked a world beater...now he looks like an egg beater....

Long would be good for Saints, cos they are still a good outfit

As for us he onnly looks cack here cos of the half @r$ed efforts of so called Hull FC players.

They should be all busting guts to earn the shirt and retain their place

A bit o/t but can anyone comment on the impact that Longy has had on coaching our younger players?

Long and/or Agar have taken a bit of stick for signing Long but don't forget one of the benefits of him playing for us was that he can aid the development of our younger playmakers...has this happened?

doubt it

saying that tho, danny niklas isnt doing a bad impression of long...aka always injured...

For me, the only 2 decent performances by the team were when Long wasn't in it. Says it all for me.
Maybe he doesn't want to be here and the other players are pi$$ed off at him?

can anyone blame him...lets be fair, i honestly believ berro jumped ship....nevermind any other reason

Yes, I can blame him. If it [iis[/i the case then he's taking the pi$$ out of us just as much as Agar and the board.
I really don't want to get into the Berrigan issue again. You and I will never agree on that.
