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,

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.

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.

| 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.

| only one post about the original thread which was about the snippets from his book. typical.
anyway, i reckon it will be a good read and quite comical in parts too.
and i'll have my 2 penorth like everyone else
i reckon if he stays fit he will be a good signing for your lot regardless of his age. cant be worse than thorman
its the stayin fit part at 33 that might be tough (you dont have best of luck with injuries anyway) and i'm not certain but he must have missed at least 35% of games from last 2 or 3 seasons with injury. if fit should lead an improved pack well
no doubt i'll get a load of grief but its my opinion.

Talk about stating the bleedin' obvious.
A big part of him coming to Hull will be the role he plays bringing on the likes of Turner, Tansey, Washbrook and freeing up Richard Horne. The best thing I've read so far from his book is the slating he gave Noble for not doing enough ball skills in training and not establishing a gameplan 4 days before a game. Considering we appear not to do any gameplanning whatsoever, I'm hoping he uses his influence to demand we start doing so. Given his career to date, I think it's fair to say there are interesting times ahead at FC. Could be a huge success or a massive disaster, but doubt it will be quiet mediocrity.
