If I had a pound every time someone mentions 'ere, he's only any cop 'cos Saints make 'im look good,' I'd be a rich man.
It has been said for just about every player in the Saints team.
To apply this argument to Sean Long is pure stupidity when you take into account:
A) The amount of big games he has helped Saints win
B) His individual honours from those games (e.g 3 time Lance Todd trophy winner)
C) That he came into the Saints team when the wheels were falling off and Fat Bob was on his way.
Sean Long was an integral part of Saints success, and his ability and experience will benefit Hull.'"
So do you honestly think Long will be just as good at Hull as he is/has been at Saints? Over the past 10 years Saints have had a special group of players playing together at one time, you can't just break that apart and expect them to be just as good with mediocre players.
And for the record, I'm not one of those people who says "'ere, he's only any cop 'cos Saints make 'im look good" (nice phonetics though). Sean Long is a class player but the other class players he's had around him add an extra 15% to his game, in my opinion.
