Re: Ben Long. Furious
They shoulda put Butler on the extended bench and dropped him, and promoted Long.
Long was only on last wk for last qtr, but made his presence felt.
Every touch was skilful and he was super hungry.
And this is how Cuddles rewards him?

Re: Ben Long. Furious
100% agree. I thought he was the spark in the last quarter! Hard at it, created opportunities and really caused mayhem when he was near the ball. Butler has been so quiet and his perceived pressure is not near the level he once was. Higgins looks so unfit and can’t chase his defender for more than 5 meters. Crazy selections!

Re: Ben Long. Furious

Re: Ben Long. Furious
**** joke
That’s it this coach is a muppet
I can see Long go to a club and explode to become Max Rooke 2,0
We are seriously in trouble
Baffling

Re: Ben Long. Furious
Long will always be a fringe first team player at any club that employs him. Ill disciplined and doesn’t contribute enough. IMO at any rate.

Re: Ben Long. Furious
Long wouldn't get a game at many other clubs. Long will be cut at season end would be my guess.

Re: Ben Long. Furious
His best position is half back, and there are others who do that better. He lacks forward craft. He's a bit reckless and fumbles a lot. He has energy and aggression but has always lacked the class to be an ongoing option up forward. A man without a position. He's one of those 'almost' players.
I wish some others had his grunt, though. That's one thing we can always count on with Long

What!! Although Long only played a quarter last week, he would have been in our best 3.

Re: Ben Long. Furious
I wonder why they didn't include Campbell.
Who takes over in the ruck if Marshall puts in another ordinary effort.

The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Re: Ben Long. Furious
Gonna ask Battle to ruck when RoMa isn't nearby?
Who's the genius behind this?

Re: Ben Long. Furious
Is Ratts playing the long game (pun intended).
Is Ratts giving Butler enough chances to redeem himself?
It's a toss up between Butler and Long.
One of them will be cut/offered for trade.
Looks like he prefers Butler though, with so many chances.
