Billy Longer

[sunsaint]

Im not overly concerned at what he is bringing on field for our team - his stats actually rank up pretty well against some better credentialed ruckman this year
I do like his ... aggression at the contest - he looks like he wants to genuinely best his opponent
My only concern would be over his commitment to become a truly great ruckman and then hopefully in saints colours

When he and Hickey are both 25-26 they'll boss opposition ruckman around.

It was interesting to see Delaney give him a spray against the Bulldogs in the third quarter after allowing his opponent to take a mark on the line.

We've been doing pretty well in the hitouts this year compared to some other years, but I haven't looked at who's winning them. Hickey? Can't hurt to give longer a rest for a week or two, but it sounds like it won't happen this week.

I think Longer was equal second in the comp with Jacobs on 224 hit outs before last weeks game.

He wasn't too good in the 2nd quarter.

[ShanghaiSaint]

can't compare him to Nic Nat he's a freak... but made some ground back in the 2nd. not looking as clean below the knees today though.

It is really rest time now for Billy or should I say dropped.
