Just read he hass retired because an opportunity has come up - surely not our next coach ?!

He's going back to Saints on the coaching staff.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

he comes i can honeslty say i will never ever watch wigan again

Assistant to your next coach

Would rather have him than Iestyn Harris. Annoying get but a proven winner and a Wiganer despite spending most of his career over 't lump.

doing a bit of looting?

Mis-read the topic...
Thought it said 'Sean Long - retarded'

A player we all loved to hate, a fantastic talent and I'll wish him all the best for the future!

Won't be missed.

He was a fabulous talent even though he was a prat sometimes.

Good luck in your retirement Sean.

Would not want him anywhere near any club as a coach, he has shown himself to have the brain power of a gnat and the self control to match.

Bad person to have around the sport off the field in my opinion, he may have performed well on the field but off the field he is not the kind of person I would want anywhere near up and coming players.

Sean has signed a 2yr deal to be Assistant coach with a north west club IT IS NOT WIGAN

St.Judes ?

SALFORD thats were he will be at.

Correct give the man a bannana

Gleeson to be his bookies runner.

Good luck to him. Yes he's a bit of a berk, but a very good player.

Hopefully can make Salford a bit more consitant - if it is Salford.

Tremendous player but a bit of a tool.

Ripped the Aussies a new one in Sydney 2006 which is good enough for me.

Confirmed in this mornings Daily Express,Long is to be an assistant to Matt Parrish at Salford.

God help them, that's all I can say.

And when everything else looked to be going so well for them.

christ, they going to be in a bad way,
wouldnt have him newhere near the game again, what a tool,

Has Vievers left then?

its some special post isnt it? seems to have been created by this parish lad, not sure its just an assistant coach

Shane who???


Terrific player that will be remembered for off the field stuff, just as much as his considerable on field achievements. Could have been remembered by[size=150 all [/sizefans as one of the best of his generation, but will only be regarded as such by saints fans.... Sad really.

Remember this guy may be a bad influence but if hes matured then the excellent rugby brain (that noone can deny he has) will make him one hell of a coach. I already believe he had things to do with, or attended, Edge Hill University while he was a Saints player so you never know if hes matured he will prove you all wrong I reckon. Still wouldnt want him anywhere near Wigan right now until he proves he has but I suppose he has to be given the chance to prove it. I know the frustration there of wanting a better job but being told you need experience. Where the hell are you going to get experience if noone will take the chance? Could be a shrewd move by Salford.
