Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |

I disagree - Powell is so regimented doubt Orr had much input not sure what he would add - never been in a highly performing environment |

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

| Quote: Marty Grrrrrrrrrr! "I was once at Wigan St Pats, Longs old junior club, and Long refused to give the club £2 for admission. He was on £4k a week at Saints at the time. Said "im not paying to fund this poop". From that moment ive never had any time for him. Absolute bad egg.
That was a long time ago tho and people change. He was a great player and i can see he could become a decent attack coach but hes not the type of person i would want around the club.
Fingers crossed it works out well though.'"
Long played for St. Judes, but I take your point. I could tell you quite a few stories about him. He didn't last long coaching the academy at Wigan. |

I’ve no idea what Long is like as a coach but he’s had a few different experiences and likely will be building knowledge and skills. He was of course a top player. He may also be able to advise a few younger players of what not to do as well as improving their game.
Also worth pointing out we’ve already got people on and off the pitch who have done much worse than Long in the past.
I think it’s an exciting appointment, one thing he can’t do much about is our team could do with more pace for mine.

Anything, absolutely anything, is an improvement on JJB and Walker, so its a gamble worth taking.

Paul Gustard at Quins hasn't said a bad word about him and would welcome him back.

I understand from a well placed source Kev was hugely impressed by him in pre season with us. Very pleased to have him as is JP

I wouldn’t pay £2 to watch Wigan St Pats either, if Long played for St Jude’s, maybe that’s why. |

Believe what you want but i was stood next to him when he said it. It was St Pats Chairman who told me he used to play there as a kid.
Doesnt matter anyway we are talking nearly 20 years ago now and im sure Long is a different character now.
I lost respect for him that day but sure that doesnt bother Long one jot. Hope it works out for him at Leeds. As players go he was brilliant. |

He can be no worse than Jimmy Lowes was.

I have my doubts about Long, but as you say, Jimmy Lowes bloody hell, hopefully he will never again darken the doors of Headingley
