The blurb on Amazon sounds good.
"Set to rock the rugby league establishment to it's core". Oooooh.

the club has no choice really. they cant stop him releasing a book, and short of calling all the players into camp before the game, they cant stop him doing a signing session on saturday afternoon. |

No, but when they get wind of these things they could take him to one side and appeal to his commitment to the club and professionalism. |

Eamonn Mac is unconcerned, so I guess there are no major revelations about the club itself. I wonder if any former players or coaches are concerned, especially with any further revelations about the betting scandal. |

Why would the club mind Longy releasing a book? He is not scathing of the club in anyway.
Like all books, there will some half truths and some inaccurate stories, but nothing that a publisher would put its Iestyn on the line for.
As for the storm around the club, well, when do Saints rise up best?

That is what I was asking. Do we think he would be?
If, for example, he was scathing in his criticism of Mick Potter or a squad member, it would hardly help things for us in the remaining two games. |

He isn't, though.
If he was, I would imagine the club would have a polite word, but why bother when there is nothing to bother about? |

It's all good then. Have you read it? Is it worth a purchase? |

I disagree, i enjoyed Scully's book, thought it was a good read. Looking forward to reading Longy's too. |

Scully's was ok in parts. His telling of the Brisbane game was superb, sent shivers down my spine thinking back to it. But other parts were actually very dull, and I found myself skim reading.
Kris Radlinski's is an excellent book. |
