Maybe now those who were lamenting us not signing the premarurely balding ugly little fugger a couple of years ago will be saying "thank fook". One trick pony

he had a poor game, but Long was worse IMO

No way.

No he wasn't.

Long is the number one scrum half in Hull.

would you be saying that if Rovers had capitalised on his laying on penalties, missed 40/20 and kicks out on the full? not forgetting his poor pass created Rovers first try also. Still not overwhelmed with him to be honest.

Good call, over rated and very probably over paid

Where have you got that one from?!

I think Rovers miss Paul Cooke

Which kick out on the full ?

He put in 2 superb tackles on a rampaging slap headed Webster and actually needed to give the pens away to gain us an advantage. It's called experience. He defended superbly, something Dobson cant do, and did as much as he could with the low amount of possession we had. Dobson had sack loads of possession and was e.

Its an opinion, one I dont agree with but an opinion all the same. Thought Long was involved in all things good and despite the heavy attention he had didn't disappear, only down side was the penalties he gave away when we could have done without the pressure.

Me too. Bad decision to force him out by Morgan.

An opinion which I asked to be justified. Like you have, therefore thankyou

He did nothing in the tackle that Rovers weren't getting away with, missed a 40/20 by about 2 foot, and didn't kick anything out on the full. Granted that first pass was poor.

He was far better than Dobson and with only a fraction of the possession to work with. He'll play better, but he certainly wasn't poor.

Think Dobson may be suffering from the bigging up he receives from all and sundry, can imagine Justin wiping his rear end for him when requested, thats if Clunt doesnt need him first!!!

Long did well in a very difficult and ferocious game. He was singled out for attention by Morgans dobbins, constantly taking hit when he didn't even have the ball. Kept picking himself up and was a danger.

Yes, I would. Although I didn't see a kick out of the full and I don't know how the opposition can really take advantage of a missed 40/20 attempt more than any other kick to touch.

long's 2nd best game for us IMO. Stood up to be counted when it mattered. Took plenty of cheap shots as well

Must get my telly fixed,as I missed this.

very predictable today

Cant disagree. Missed him badly today. Desperately need an off half.

What game was that in??

Loved it when Long got penalised the second time for holding on.

I think he said some thing like "Its rugby league, i'm supposed to tackle!"

As for Dobson, like somebody has said, he's a one trick pony. And Rovers deffo miss Judas.

We were bad but rovers, top eight, dont make me laugh.
