I don't mention age or fitness. Some players are more prone to injury. Why? Nobody knows.

You seem to think Im happy longy is injured! Let me put you straight on that matter.

Longy in my eyes is a pure legend. He's one of the best players I've ever seen. IMO he is the best player to play in super league. It was worth paying the entrance fee at saints just to see him play!

Has the been a better match winner than longy? I doubt it. Last min drop goals in finals, few drop goals against wolves, kicks off the touchline. He is a born winner!

He however does pick up alot of injuries, every week he seems to be playing with a injury.

I was very sad when saints let longy go but it was best for the club.

If saints don't win the grand final this year I want hull fc to win it, not because I like hull but because I love longy.

There you go again. Maybe you could point out where I've even [iimplied[/i such a thing.

Believe me, mate - if I thought you were happy about ANY of our players getting injured I wouldn't beat about the bush telling you what I thought.

Agree there mate.Always been a big fan of Longy,was made up when he signed for us.He does seem to be targeted on the pitch.Maybe thats why he is injured so much?

Gutted!!

I doubt we will see him again this season which will hit us really hard and dent any title ambitions we had imo. I hope Agar weighs up all the options available to him and does not automatically for Horne and Washy. There is also Tansey and Berro.

Personally I would leave Tansey at fullback for now and try out Berro and Horne.

That would be my preferred option too. Berrigan seems to be struggling to make an impact at hooker when coming from the bench and Houghton is doing a decent job on his own. Hopefully having Berrigan in the halves will give him more of a chance to get into the game.

I can't believe Long won't play again this season. We have 8 league games plus 2 weekends off for the challenge cup, before the playoffs.
So for him to be out for more than 10 weeks would be very unlucky indeed

Josh Cordoba dislocated his elbow in mid April and made his comeback last week.

that was a bad one....bloody awful infact......his elbow was twisted the other way....

So that's about 9 weeks then. It would have to be a really bad dislocation for him not to be back for the playoffs

I`ll see that,and raise it.

He played last week aswell against the dragons

Good luck Longy,hope its not too bad.
From a Saints fan

Yep, cheers mate, I'd originally put "last night" but then amended it. He came off the bench last week and started the game this weekend.

Hopefully Longy can be back within the same timeframe.

it's harder for a ball playing back to come back as soon, he'd need 100% movement back in it. A forward could get away with lots of strapping. Cordobas was a really bad one tho.

Saw Longy on Kingston road yesterday with his family.....had nearly all his arm strapped up....couldnt tell if it was bandage or a cast as i was driving....he looked ok in himself.

It wouldn't shock me at all if longy is back for playoffs. He alway came back just in time for challenge cup semis/finals and playoffs and grand finals.

After watching the replays today, I still maintain that it was totally unnecessary for Willie Manu to put a shot on! Had all the time in the world to see that Long had lined him up.

So what? Just because someone else might make the tackle doesn't mean you then can't go for a big hit. In fact, big hits often come about because the ball carrier is expecting to be hit by someone else and it is the surprise impact from a different angle that increases the chance of the ball being lost. Manu's done it countless times in similar situations over the years and will rightly continue to do so.

Seen the replay and it looks like one of those freak incidents that could have happened anytime. No blame at all for Manu.

Hope to see Longy back soon and certainly in time for the playoffs

would hve thought they would reposition it then set it in a 90 degree cast for aboout a month

Its about as bad as I have ever seen, he will not play again this season thats for sure.

Hope we are in the market for a new h/back because it is getting stupid now.

EXPRO is back what the latest on signings and when is ogre back ?

we missed out on the lucky juice didnt we at FC??
plans are in place that unfortunately scupper half back signings although as back up we could be discussing a half back soon who wants to come closer to home again (just down the M62) than his current lodging darn sarf !!!
