Longy has scored about 153 tries, his kicking of the 1000 goals has been on a part time basis. For 4 seasons it use to be scully for 400+ goals also Lyon kicked quite a few.
So if Longy kicked all through his match career his potential would have been closer to 1500 goals.
Does that mean people are casting judgement on his 2009 performance.

He's also a genuine character. Love him or loathe him, the game would be poorer without him.
Spot on, I'm in the latter category but the game needs the Long, Newton, Jimmy Lowes characters.
SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row Saints have five in a row

no wonder he hates it hes just not that good at it, theres got to be several people in the squad who are better than him, the scary part is that if they had a better kicker then theyd prob be unbeatable

While the rest of Super League continues to march backwards at a pace, that won't matter.
The only sides who look to have improved are Shudds, who we beat away and Hull, who are looking at fielding 13 NRL players.
