Any news when he's back, need him back desperatley.Anybody know anything?

Leeds?

He'll be in the squad this week, don't know if he'll play but he will definitely be training this week. According to Agar.

Hope so, im sure it was on the website when he had the injury he'd be fit for the Wire. Don't know how his rehab is going though.

Been running and lifting weights last week. Technically from the original timescales he was due back for Warrington but said in the programme he thought more likely Leeds.

Anyone know about Richard Horne and how he's going?

good stuff! Lets just hope the wire have their eyes on the cup final instead of the game.

we were in the bar under the south stand on friday night, rich horne spoke and said he had good news about his injury and he will be back for the leeds game.

so hopefully horne and long to lead us around the park...........about time........lets hope it lasts!!!

So hopefully we'll have a fit Long and Horne against a battered and bruised Leeds team the week after the C/Cup final.

I can't see us risking him this week, especially with a week off afterwards, may aswell give him the next two weeks and be ready for the Leeds game along with Horne.

Agar said that he was unlikely to risk him, but would have considered it if it was a final this week.

Good call by Agar.

My lad went to Longy's training night on Friday before the game - he told everyone he'd be back for Leeds.

What's longys training night?

I presume it was the training camp for the kids throughout August.

i would nt play long against wire, i think we should put all our eggs in the leeds game basket, could beat wire and lose to leeds and finish out the four or we could lose to wire and beat leeds to get in the four (i dont honestly think we can play to the level required to win 2 games running against 2 top teams)

then there is no point even bothering with the play offs, let's just wave the white flag now and move on to 2011!

Why think like that? on our day we can beat anybody.

Old trafford here we come Baird!!!

because the im not confident he will be 100 percent for warrington, if we wait for the leeds game then there should be no doubt, a re accurance would definatly wreck any play off hopes anyway, if ready then play him of course but for me the leeds game is when we need all the big players in

Yeah but they are Monday and Thursday instead of Monday and Tuesday

Why, because i dont think long should be risked at warrington?

No, because you said we "should put all our eggs in the Leeds game basket" and that "we can't maintain the necessary level of performance for two games".

If anything Long is BETTER playing at Wire, so he has a game and some match fitness under his belt, if he isn't ready, he wont play.

wewll essentailly thats what it amounts to if we dont risk him, to lose him with a re accurance would be a nightmare, and as for consistency , well you only have to look at this seasons performances to see that we struggle to find it, the amount of moaning that almost all of us have done is as a result of this
