You can't have been reading our board then, all positive on there it seems.

| Interesting to see the reaction of the Saints fans to losing Long and to possibily signing Dobson which a lot of them where praying not to happen. Long is held by many as the best scrum half in the league and he's definitley one of the best.

I've also seen Leeds/Bradford/Wigan/Wire fans saying he's one of the best SH in the league. If you can name 3 SH's in this league better then him I'd be very suprised.

| Long is a really good player but to be fair he is getting on abit now( in terms of his position) that’s why saints cant give him 2 years because they know that he has 1 last season in him at his peak.
I think he will play well for you and for most clubs he would be an outstanding player, but lets face it saints are moving forward with new players and releasing older ones

They don't KNOW that but as with Cunningham it'd be much better for Saints to carry him on 1 year deals just in case.
Stacey Jones was around his age when playing for Cats and he is currently playing for the Warriors now, hes a top player and Brett Kimmorely is the best HB in the NRL at this moment in time. Class is permenent.

| According to your own board if Thacks and Cussack stay Hull will have nine players over 30 + next season......is this a record for Super League.
Will they be wheeled out to Dads army

| Thisis a gamble and if Hull are willing to take it then so be it. If it pays off he'll be very good, give direction and experience and can kill teams.
There needs to be a decent succession plan for him that needs to be in place inside a year and it would have to be more then a whim of Thurston coming as it wont happen.
The downside is that he is statistically more likely to be injured and injured for longer than a player 10 years younger. If I was an FC fan my worry would be that your in for another player who plays either strapped up or manages less than 50% of games for the season.
As for 3 better SH's in SL. It al depends on who they play for atthe time. If Myler was at saints with the runners and pack they have he'd be the best, as would dobson, sherwin etc...

No but there'll be Zimmer frames placed out for the warm up instead of tackle pads.

Fair points but with a fit Dykes in 2008 we'd have performed a lot better league wise - and who knows what might have happened at Wembley if he'd played?  After all Dykes virtually got us there on one leg. But Long is not in the state that Dykes was so I expect him to play a fair number of games, unless someone does a Newton on him.
