fooking inconsistent.

bit like sean long who everyone seems to be raving about on here

Long has consistently been the top halfback in the league for many a year. If he's that inconsistent then how did he win a Man of Steel or player of the year?

You can't rule out the mental side of the game and go on skills alone, it's the whole package that makes the player.



Long has won us trophies for a far longer period than Goulding did. There can be only one choice in a team of the SL era.

He's been consistently excellent over the course of a season for over 10 years now, unless you are talking about odd games, but if that's the case you can rule [ieveryone[/i out.

I agree with you, but Longy had more support from the club when he needed it (gamblegate) than Bobbie did

There can be [uno[/u debate over Long or Goulding.



Goulding had all the tools to be one of the best SH this country has ever produced and chose not to use them, he blew it basically.



Long has worked at it so he has all those tools and consistently been great for Saints, hence his individual accolades and his trophy haul.

If you are asking for consistency, Longy is your man, if you wanted a blinding short flash of superb team carrying scrum half play then Goulding would be your choice.



We have been spoiled with having these two from the start of Super League, the next in the 7 shirt has a huge gap to fill eventually.



How many other teams would love to have had the choice of these two [iat their best.[/i

Can I ask why only my good self has picked Alan Hunte on the wing.



We are talking a player with 14 GB caps who played in a world cup final and was regarded as a world class winger.



Compared to Albert who was merely a straight line runner and Sullivan who was exquisite when put into space, but was a liability in defence, and prone to brain farts of the Meli nature.

He was very underrated, i remember him outsprinting Offiah at KR on one occasion

sky sports watchers, see him home and away every week, then he wont have won either award
