If Long's going we have to get someone trained up in the scrum half position THIS season so they will be ready for the next campaign.

We can't keep giving Eastmond or Wheeler or whomever the odd game and then throw them in next SL and expect him to perform. It'll be a nightmare.


Eastmond would be getting much more game time at 7 if he didn't keep getting injured and Matty Smith is games at Celtic.

Wheeler is never a 7 - out and out 6 IMO.

If we lose Long, Cunningham & Gidley at the same time, next season could be the most important one we have had since Super League started.

These days the stand off role and scrum half ain't to different.

Eastmond looks more of a scrum half but we don't know just how good he is.

Sir mac said he thinks wheeler will end up at 7 and who our we to doubt him?

If we let Longy go and sign Thurston, or even attempt to, I'll be livid. We should stay well, well clear of Thurston.

If these kids we have are anywhere near their hyped up level they will be able to do the job. I have a nagging doubt that they are all frauds, given how little any of them are trusted, when the club was perfectly happy for Smith to play week in week out for a while.

He's an investment banker, not a rugby league coach.

I'm sorry but I don't agree!

Thurston is the best player in the world IMO and no team should ever turn that down if they have chance of signing him.

We have offerd long a 1 year deal so these kids ain't expected to play regular next year.

Who else is better to teach eastmond or wheeler than the best scrum half in the world.

It's the right move by the club and the only sides I could think of that would be interested in signing Long are ones without half backs or somewhere like Celtic. I'd be surprised if he was overwhelmed with offers but we have to give our kids more game time in preparation for next year, which I'm sure they'll get if they stay clear of injuries.

No we had Edwards who was better than both Long and Goulding.

That interview is to do with Gary Wheelers future position at Saints.
