Thats your opinion.

Many times in previous seasons, this sort of thing has been said about Long, yet 9/10 he comes back and proves them wrong, i'm confident he will do again.

Spot on. However, this may be the 1 in 10 he doesn't.

It's not quite panic stations just yet. Attitude was all wrong today. It doesn't help when the "rent a gob" of our team was spouting to anyone who'd listen that he didn't want to be playing the game. I'm glad it's a big game next week, I think it'll be a different story then.

Wigan didn't even get out of second gear.Richards was almost in slow motion when he passed to Tommy for his try.And still no one could catch him (all though carrot yed tried his best).

Supposed to be the highlight of the day at Murrayfield yet clearly Long, Graham, Pryce and a few others in your superstar squad were not in the slightest bit interested, a total disgrace from so called superstars of the Super League.

Watcha blabbing to us for? If you have a problem with our team, go tell our team! We're just sitting behind our computers here, minding our own business.

An extremely lethargic performance. For the second week running we looked like a team who lacked organisation. To be caught in possession on the last three times in one match is a joke.

You would have thought after last weeks fiasco in going back 50 yards they would have sorted that out, but no, we got caught on the last in the first few minues tonight.

I am not working hard all week to earn a crust then spending it watching that again next week.

Totally blatant lack of respect for your fans who have travelled by those who's wages they pay, French Connection UK'in prima donna that Long and well well past his best, what a useless tart, got everything they deserved.

Started a topic on here last week pal about Long being past it(at least for a title challenging club), not as a knee jerk reaction to his performance against the bulls but based on the majority of his performances over the last 12-18 months and the injuries suffered. As i expected though i was shot down by those who wear the rose tinted glasses. For whats its worth i believe we need to be starting with either Wheeler or eastmond at half back now; and before i am shot down again by those who think that both are too inexperienced & will cost us games, i agree, however that is only what is happening now with Long. The benefit though when throwing kids in at the deep end is they will learn very quickly and even quicker when learning from their own mistakes

I can't believe what I'm about to do... I'm going to stick up for Long. >cough, splutter<

He took a huge head blow early on and came considerably worse off. He was clearly dazed and confused, the look on his face was almost "Did anyone get the number of that bus?"

He needed to be taken off and allowed to recover rather than left on the field. He looked groggy and tired, a head shot takes it out of you. The body's recovery process from a shaken brain is TIRING, basic sports science. He should have taken time to let his body do the hard recovery on the sidelines, then come back out.

Whose fault's that? Your coach perhaps? Your fitness staff? Long himself? In his state, the decision should have been made for him.

How the hell can you single any player out? The lot of them were useless, no effort from anyone.

I agree it wasn't just long who was pi$$ poor but i'm gettin very worried bout his form.

I hate to say it but I think he is finished.

His passing, defence, kicking at the moment looks pretty poor.

I just hope he avin a run of poor form.

I thought you all looked knackered.
Could there be a virus in the camp?
