You just need to grow up, kid.

You're very easy to bait and are so blinded by your inferority complex with Wigan that you fly off the handle every time you see a single negative post about your club. Well ... sorry but you'd better batten down the hatches. This latest Long thing won't blow over quickly. The RFL are now demanding that he name names. I wonder how many of those Saints players he accuses are still playing for you?

But people are not criticising Long the player, it's Long the "man".
The clue is in the title of the thread.

After his assault on the young girl he was only going one way at Wigan, out and quite rightly so.

As for being one of the all time greats, well maybe at Saints, but he wouldn't make the top five scrum halves at Wigan.

Edited for accuracy

I meant scrum halves, now edited, thank you.

So when do I join you lot with the pitchfork and flaming torch then?

I don't think we need to bother. He's lit the fire himself.

And if this is your roundabout way of expressing concern that your big signing for next season might now be in jeopardy ... I think you've every reason to be concerned.

it will blow over very quickly.

as soon as the RL journo's finish work on saturday it wont be mentioned again. the RFL will sweep it under the carpet in the same way the Celtic 6 illegal immigrants story has been, never to be mentioned again.

I'm not so sure. If you lot win the GF, one or two of the toerags may seek to drag it up again to spoil the big day.

Not that the wider world will pay much attention of course, because let's face it, the wider world won't be paying much attention to the GF.

CRUNCHER!!!.... Stop teasing the dumb animals... You would pinch the last fag from a beagle!!!!

He's a knob and brings the name of the game down. I hope RFL screw him to the wall, but they have no balls so nothing will happen.

I know. I'll try to grow up.

Mate,after the last two seasons I am beyond concern,its now down to loyalty.I would also like to think he is not our only "big" signing.

tbh much as i don't like the guy's antics, he's been a great player, and i've got a soft spot for FC (have since 1985

) so I hope he goes well for you

Two more minutes,we would have nicked it.

Longy wont get the chance to play in the grand final

If they had no balls they wouldn't have banned him and Gleeson (remember him!) for the Bradford debacle!

The RFL inqury will last at least till next year look how long it took them to fine cas for crowd trouble and look how saints got the inqury to the beting scandel put back so they could play in the CC final.

Most people on here wont be bothered then, Long wont be playing for Saints then!

I just want to read what he says about Nobby

Wasn't as bothered about the Bulls betting thing, because he didn't play in the game and so couldn't affect the outcome. I am more appalled that he was prepared to land a drop goal to win money. I don't expect match tactics to be governed by the greed of players, and his excuse that he didn't win the bet is irrelevant. It sounds like he placed it and that's what bothers me.

Hopefully this will lead to a full police investigation of Lee Briers.
