No not his Mum or relation......I'm 6 feet tall.....lol. But yes an Aussie and saw him a lot as a kid and in all grades over here. Think he was hard done by here, many people agree that a particular NRL Club really managed him poorly as he was very young(18-19?) when signed.

It's a positive sign, but I think it's a bit early to say he's back to his best, as for the nockers and doubters, I only recall people questioning that with the bad luck with injuries he has had, and the way he has put his body on the line since he was 16 if he could ever get back to the standard he was at week in and week out 4 years ago, as much as were all hoping after 2 games he still has a long way to go, I'm as optimistic as I have been for a long time regards Horne, and I'm all for positivity but that post at this early stage is embarrassing.

You think quotes like "he's finished" are just questioning his injury record?

You know,the guy who won three Lance Todd trophies.

Quote ="jimmyfivebellies"If Long proves his fitness,i reckon he will start at wigan alongside Horne,with Obst replacing Washy on the bench'" I would like to see the partnership of Richard Horne & Sam Obst develope.If Sean Long is fit, I would consider having him on the bench. I would keep him in reserve & use him @ the right times during the match. Taking into account his age & fitness & his experience, I believe that in playing him this way we can maximize his talent. I have based this in view on what I consider to be the current state of our playing strength @ the present time. He may however not want to partake in such venture & I am aware that many may not agree with the idea.
