They could sign the devil himself and i wouldn't stop watching us but i do get the feeling he'd have an awful lot of work to do to even make the fans tolerate him.

It's an experienced head to play alongside Tomkins but he's be down my list.

and for wigan, making his home debut, number 7, Sean Long

BBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Would you genuinally stop supporting Wigan Rugby League we they signed Long?

I'm not quite sure why everyone would get their knickers in a twist regarding Long. Admitedly he's past his best but what's he done to Wigan that makes people so against him signing for us?

I'd love him to go to wigan, it would be comedy

Bodypopping

He did attack Terry Newtons elbow with his face a few seasons back which in alot of peoples books is unforgivable!

Newtons not been the same player since..........the poor lad

We may need some more moderators if it does happen

I find it rather funny that a few people on here have stated they would not watch us again if we signed Long. All hes done is make Saints the best he could. Hes never bad mouthed the club or fans.

To be honest is he as much of a judas as a player accepting money from the RFU and leaving a sinking ship.

Genuinely think he'd be good for you lot for a couple of years. Knows how to steer a team around the pitch (which Wigan criminally lack at times) and has a bit of x-factor.

We'll see I suppose, but he would be one of the few players to leave Saints for Wigan who would get nothing but warm applause from me and I expect most Saints fans would be the same.

Do it Longy!!

I wonder if Long and Nobby have kissed and made up.

Doubt you'd spend so long on Warrington's line without scoring with Longy in the side.

Yes.

oooooooooooooo, you'll get ripped for that! (not by me though

)

Fair enough, but why?

You'd walk if we signed Long.

But you didn't when we signed one of his ex coaches Ian Millward??

Its a tough one. I hate the bloke, people cannot say that he has not done anything towards Wigan over the years, he has. Various times he has made jestures to the Wigan fans.

The bloke has too much history playing against Wigan to become a Wigan player. On top of that Wigan would not want him anywhere near Gleeson.

He will never re-sign for Wigan, and if he did i personally would have a tough time supporting anything he does. And i think a large number of supporters would feel that way.

I've never seen Long make any jestures towards Wigan supporters apart from the odd wave and chuckle when we've thrown tons of abuse his way.

I hate Sean Long too, because he's a Wiganer who has been extremely successful whilst playing for our arch-rivals and has been a fantastic player for them. At the same time he's been one of their fans favourite, a character, cocky and a bit arrogant and I've hated everything he's done for them as it's all success with a player that Wigan haven't had.

Whether we should/shouldn't sign Sean Long should only be down to potential performance reasons only IMO.

But each to their own.

a few years ago I may have considered swallowing my pride and accepting the signing of him cos he was a class player. Although still a decent player hes on the wrong side of 30 and not exactly playing well.

A simple answer to this for mine. NO.

Very good post.

Pathetic, like iv said, he's still by far the best number 7 in the country and an ideal player for Tomkins to learn off, id love to have him for 2 years. He'd take us round the pitch, he's exactly what we need. As for the people who would stop going, ta ta

Thats because he hasn't, we hate him because he's class, AND THAT REASON ONLY, im praying we sign him.

Thats true. But he is currently overated, and I would not want him at Wigan.

If you want someone to direct us around the park just get Andy Greg to stand in the middle of the pitch and do it, Long would not do much more than that. I rate his career higher than any other half-back still playing in this country, but he is past his best days. We would be signing him off reputation and not his ability, people complain when people are picked for the national team on reputation so why should we settle for that at our club.

From what iv seen of him this year, he's still the country's best number 7, and if not, tell me who is? even without the pace he used to have, he's still the most creative, his kicking game is second to none and he takes his team around the park superbly. Exactly what we want.

Dobson hands down is the best 7 in SL

Then

Myler
Burrow
Tommy

All better players than Long
