Long lands them when he need's to.
The one he missed in the GF (although from the touchline) last year in the GF was quite crucial. It meant when Danny McGuire scored his second try, Leeds had an 8 point cushion.

I don't think it would have made much difference to be quite honest. Saints just didn't get going that night and Leeds played well.

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.
What would Longs total points be? Deacon will be on a fair wack, achieved 2,000 goals for bradford during the 2007 season.

I don,t think it was 2000 goals for Deacon it was 2000 points, he has scored about 2500 points with Longy on about the same.
So if people are saying that Longy is not a good goalkicker does that mean Deacon isn.t either.

I've always thought Long was more likely to bang one over from the line than from in front of the sticks.

Long also provides the added advantage of a quality scrum half by scoring and making a decent share of tries.
