The last 2/3 years he has been shocking.

Longs saving grace is that he always ends up near the top of sucessful kicks at goal chart (not to be confused with sucess rate xpressed as a %) even though he misses so many. This is because saints score a lot of tries and he gets a lot of chances 'infront of goal'

Well we have to play him at some time, tomorrow will be very emotional I think so he may find that hard

from personal experience, situations like that can also work the other way and carry you through it....

personally i dont think JK will play him tomorrow - JK clearly doesnt rush players into competition untill he is either forced to or satisfied that they are match fit....im not sure winterstein will be match fit...

i think we'll see him against leigh at the expense of someone who could benefit from a rest having done a lot of work in the absense of injured players...someone like wilkes or snitch

Lyon was first choice kicker, then Long took over and hasn't been the same since.

Little birdie tells me that Tony Martin has torn his quad muscle.

Would be a big loss if true. For the goal kicking but also for the experience he has in a game like this.
