After watching his last few games i thought he was very average,
some awfull passes, that bounced very kindly and kicks that were not too impressive either.
If it was'nt for his try saving tackles he would nt have been mentioned tonght.
Was not happy with his signing at first, now even more unsure.

Thought he was decent tonight, good try, better try saving tackles. Exactly what we've been lacking.

He played well tonight. I will be more than happy with that kind of display next season

You have the makings of an awesome pack next year, but then go-forward wasnt your problem this year. If Long stays fit and you have a break from injuries I will suggest that if you had Cooke along side Long you would make top 3.

He played well. Gets into 1st receiver and ORGANISES THE PLAY. That is what he will give us first and foremost at Long last.

I'm there























Took 2 reads though

It's getting late

Tis the flippin vodka

needs a good hair cut 1st though.

Thought he was m.o.m. tbh tonite, think saints will be worse off without him thats for sure. In fact im struggling to think where their organisational play will come from next year as Pryce is a glorified centre/winger and Eastmond will end up being another Jason Robinson, out on the wing.

Think Longy will do a job for us if hes on the park, the sheer fact that were paying him a kings ransom will ensure he knows the importance of why hes being signed up.

Nobby for Director of Football now hes left Wigan?

We needed a scrum half, we've signed one of the best around, end of discussion. Some people are never happy.

Have to say I remain unconvinced that the coach has the ability to get the team playing to maximise the effect of long. He isn't superman and can't do it on his own. he needs the players around him to be playing 100 times better than at any time since agar took over

You do surprise me

I hope agar surprises me but I doubt it. Seems a couple of weeks with no game numbs the memories of most

Nope we can all remember your moaning for the last 2 years

I thought he showed up once again in a big game tonight like he's done on many occasions. He's exactly what we've needed for years, he'll be a very good signing for us.

Got the impression from the Sun excerpts that Long doesn't rate him, to say the least! Wonder if that isn't another reason he chose us over Wigan?

is sean long the answer? no sam moa is

I wonder if you were watching the same Sean Long I was watching tonight? Perhaps there is a doppleganger out there ...

Longy was the best he has been since returning from injury tonight. Did you not notice his guile? Those two try saving tackles into touch? And what about his organisation? He never stopped! And he scored a try (almost two tries) We are going to miss him big time next season, and we know it.

Well played tonight good luck next week.

It's that long since we had a SH some on here can't remember what they are supposed to do



Have to say I don't see exactly where you have replaced Longy for next year. Has Eastmond actually signed or not ?

If what you want is somone who justs hands on from first or second receiver,
or occasionaly throws a long ball that bounces and hopes for the best
and whose kicking game has gone down hill then he is your man.
His only creativity was for the Meli try and that pass was well behind him.
Hope i am wrong but all that and the best customer for the Physio,
dont look too good for me. as for mom lmfao

Dont worry about it mate,if Jesus himself signed for us ,some buggers would have a good moan.

We'll have to agree to disagree here because for me he had a good game tonight. We've needed somebody to organise the team for years and there's not many better at it than Long.

Thanking you kindly.




Good question! It is believed that Eastmond turned down an offer from Saints and there are rumours he is heading for Sale Sharks RU. Since he has the same agent as Richie Myler, it's anyone's guess as to what he is going to do. It seems we are keeping tabs on young Matty Smith as he is on a month by month loan to Salford. Matty helped to get us to the 2007 Grand Final when Longy was out injured and while some think he is not a very creative scrum half, he is an organising one and an extremely good kicker (oh how we need a good kicker!). However, it's all up in the air at present. Next season certainly looks, er, interesting!

I was watching without the emotional Sean Long tinted glasses,
he was noticed tonight by his two try saving tackles,
we have a full team that do that i want a creative scrum halve that opens teams up,
not one that stands at first reciever and shouts now and again. Dont get me wrong,
hell of a player two years ago in a quality side, but now past his best unfortunately for us.
