Offer him the same as you did Monaghan .... that's worked out real well.

Exactly. People knocking Long's age should look at the league table. As he said before on BBC website he never misses a training session and feels physically in good shape. I don't think he's as good as he was 6 years ago but is exactly the type of player we need and he's British.

That is an excellent point - I must admit I'd overlooked that. As we reduce our oversees signings we need to look on our own shores and the number of high-quality players is not great. This gets us through two years (at least) whilst we develop a scrum-half with his (hopefully) excellent guidance.

HE It would be an absolute disaster.

this is the man who walked out on a GB tour becuase he was tired.

He now wants a two year deal because he wants the money and is preparing for retirement. He has no heart left for the game other than playing for Saints and winning a trophy.

have you seen his goalkicking this season he is missing them in front of the sticks.

HE IS NOT INTERESTED.
WILL BE LESS INTERESTED IF HE CAME HERE.

It would be the first BACKWARD step made by the Giants in 4 seasons.

I would rather the money be spent on someone who is HUNGRY, or PROFESSIONAL enough to put in his best every wek. Menzies or Brett Hodgson are model pros who will always give 100%. Someone like Long is not what we need. he is not a model professional and is just looking to make some money


I cannot believe that anyone is seriously considering him as a signing.

NO NO No
