thats a awesome signing for you men you probably have the best half back pairing in the league next year whit long/horne. Horne will improve even more now that the pressure isnt on him to guide you round he can take them on more now knowing that long will attract all the attention

And honestly how long (pardon the pun) do you think Longey will be playing for, he'll be 35 by the end of his 2 yr contract.

Thats exactly what I meant the length of service we would get out of either player is the same !!

I see, and has been said earlier, you know he'll be here for the start of pre season.

Well that is the hope I agree but we need a few more players in order to be able to play that way IMO. Lets hope some more signings will be announced that will enable us to play a more expansive game.

The thing is, I think we have quite a few at the club already to help us play that game, we just don't organise them in the right way. If the only other changes we were to make was to sort out our use (or lack of) of dummy runners and increase our support play, I think it would still make a huge difference to our attack.

I really am not trolling but surely you can see that sean Long is a shadow of the player he was. He will no doubt be an improvement to the current waster who is impersonating a scrum half, but OMG, the money that he will have cost beggars belief. If it was believed by saints that he was worth 2 years they would have gave him it..but they didnt. I think you might get a few decent games out of him but a big big mistake again....

Excellent signing, i would rather have Sean Long at his age and with his experience and skill then some over-rated Aussie.

A bit like Keith Senior then?

Great signing, but if he gets injured then we are back in the piggy poo.

I would like us to now sign someone like Finch, who is a SO but can play SH. Horne at full back, and if Motu stays utility.

If Long got injured, then Finch to 7, Horne to 6 and Motu at full back.

I'm not convinced that the arrival of Long alone will bring that but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
