Anyone seen his snips from his autobiography in todays paper?

I personally cant stand the bloke but looks like it will be a very interesting read.

I'm looking forward to next year, you'll be able to read him like a book

why cant you stand him? not something to do with him signing for hull is it?

heres one name a better english scrum half in the past decade.

It says on the BBC that Wigan made him an offer, but he chose Hull because there would be no pressure to win anything

better reason than any!!



you have, or the bbc, missed a big part of the reason.

to help progress the youngsters.

imo i dont want him just to help hulls youth but all englishs halfs backs, some sort of summer camp would work well.

T.B.H I just couldn't resist it; if he stays fit he's still one of the best genuine scrum halves there is.

the scary part is hes the only one we've got.

i'm hoping the investment wire puts into myler works.

I wouldn't have paid that much for him though. From an international point of veiw I think Sam Thompkins is more of a scrum half than a stand off and will move there at some stage.

its all relative.

warrington are not only happy to pay that their also happy to give him the finest development training money can buy!

and by that their sending him to austraila to spend time with andrew johns.

tomkins can develop into a fine off half, but not a 7.

all imo of course,

Long has come with the promise of a coaching role at the end of his playing contract.

i think hes got a part time one as soon as he arrives.

imo some, not all, of the top players make great positional coaches.

I'm sure the players will have alot of trust in him after reading how he is dobbing in his former team mates!

Well I have always thought he was a turd, Signing for FC just confirmed the fact.

well i cant argue with reason like that!

Its true if you had asked me my views on him 12 months ago the answer would have been the same the only diffrence is that I would now spell it with capital letters.

who are you trying to convince?

Nobody just stating facts.


I was also giving you an answer to your previous question to another poster.

2010 Updated edition:

"My fist Hull derby - I couldn't wait. But at the end of the day we were embarressed by the superior force that is Hull KR. Nevermind though, I apply for the head coach's job when Richie Rich gets the boot.. happy days!!!"

how a supporter of a tin pot club, who were lucky to finish 4th, has the gaul to discuss a legend of the game is beyond me.

Listening to his interview, it's alarming that a 33 year old scrum-half is the main reason why a poor coach like Agar is still in a job - your club will never get anywhere whilst it is ran in such a directionless way.

We could have been lucky to finish 12th I guess

TBF, it appears Long's social background has had a bearing on his choice of club he has chosen to sign for.....Brawls, Sex and Boozing. !!

TBF long is a character of the game, a great player (should I say was...) and an attention seeker to boot as such he will always be hated by opposition fans regardless of it being their neighbours which just adds to it.

Edited for accuracy.
