Long was an excellent goal kicker I think he kicked his 1000th goal this afternoon. These days he,s very mediocre but he does have a knack of kicking goals when it really matters in big games.
I think you have got to give him some slack after all he has to recover from a knee reconstruction, ankle breaks and numerous torn muscles.
Can,t think of any half back in present superleague who has achieved more points accrual than Longy.
