agreed...fair enough then we shall see. if i were in charge i would release Tony and put Horne at full back

I wouldn't. I'd rather keep Tony as a Utility cover player, as he can play several positions, and we have had lots of injuries.

Great signing, he's a 7 which is what we need, but with The Chuckle Brothers at the helm, he'll be wasted!

If this is our only halfback signing for next season, I will be very underwhelmed. We are not going to compete with Saints by signing the players that they no longer require !!

Wigan, Warrington and now Saints will all be in the market for a world class SH now while we sit back and watch yet again.

Agreed..another Dads Army signing on the back of Fitzgibbon.

Both of these signings would have been great for you guys 3/4 years ago but now they are just stop gaps that are surplus to requirements at their current clubs.

If Saints really thought Long was upto it for 2 more years they would have given him the deal as Long did not want to leave.

If he's not good enough for Saints,why is he suddenly good enough for your lot

What disappoints me the most about this signing is that it wasn't announced at 2:00pm

Yeah tony being one of them injured players. He would want more than a one year deal, which is only what i'd want to give him

Not the signing I was hoping for but he is clearly better than anything we have had in that position for some considerable time. I just hope that he's still motivated at this stage of his career. This gives us the opportunity however to utilise our quota options on a prop, centre and full back hopefully.
It will be odd on Friday to hear the crowd cheering on the opposition scrum half whilst probably booing the home one (if Thorman plays)

Your words suggest that you might not be an FC supporter... could this be?
