According to the Beeb, the game's 'bad boy' (

) will only finish his book signing 3 hours before Saturday's kick-off.

Is that a bad thing for Saints, or will 3 hours give him sufficient time to join the rest of the team and psyche himself up?

I have to say, if I heard a Wigan player was doing that, I'd question his commitment to the cause.

It will take him all that time to sign 1 Book?



God, that dodgy eye really is affecting him! They should tell him it's a betting slip and he would fill it in miles quicker!

What's the betting (!) hoardes of Wigan fans will turn up wanting autographs and photos to delay him...

Or crawl under the table and tie and unsuspecting Long's shoe laces together.

As long ans they don't buy the book that sounds like a good idea!

Better yet, tie his shoe-laces to his hair

Great idea

You are Wylie Coyote and I claim my £5!



Pemps planning to get Sean Long!

oh I don't know, maybe a liberal application of superglue to his chair might do the job, he wouldn't know until he tried to get up at the end of the booksigning. Wouldn't be so agile running round the field with a fecking great chair attached to his 4rse would he

With my trusty ACME shoe lace tieruper. Bwahahah

Very funny



He is a Wigan lad by the way

i'm not saying he's that popular, but hopefully his wrist will be a bit achey after spending all afternoon signing. I say the more wigan fans the better.

We know he is, but he plays for the wrong team.

Then again we can't hold it against him too much after all it was our decision to swap him for Lee Hansen

Ah yes, Longy out and Lee Hanson in? One of Jack Robinsons fine ideas I do believe! Longy does my head in but I wouldn't put it past him to have a blinder this week.

Bring own pen. When near to front of queue, smother pen in Superglue, hand pen to him to sign your book, hey presto, unable to play!

great player though you have to admit

Definanetly. Sams quickly taking over him though for the most hated/talented half in super league

But not so great an attitude, as various of his antics - including this one on Saturday - would appear to prove.

Longy has just said he was definately approached by Wigan

I think we all knew we went for him.

Is IL attempting to make the signings then with no coach in place for next season?

We've probably 'approached' about 5 players but everyone knows what IL is like...

Long would never play for us again though.

Longy when asked by email, confirmed that the players WOULD shake hands after the game

He was offered a deal at Wigan but Hull and Wakey offered him more money.

I think it was more trying to get someone in for a year and not rushing Sam too early. I think at the time they wouldn't have known Sam could slot in as comfortably as he has. Otherwise it makes zero sense.
