Cant believe the patheticness of you stains fans.....the rest of RL are condeming the t055ers actions and his stupid book, yet cos he played for you its all sweet. The p1llock has brought the game into disrepute yet you dont care because he plays for you ![]()
I think you need a girlfriend, mate. Ask longy to fix you up with one.

Take no notice. He/she has a bit of a problem. He/she is a Wigan fan. They haven't yet gotten over losing Longy to the light side of RL, what with all that success he has brought to their arch enemies! |

Wigan got rid of Long for his off field antics, end of story. That is the truth regardless of how some Saints fans may try to dress it up. |

Oh, we know that. Prigs, the lot of them!

I'm not trying to dress anything up. I'm believing Long's version of events, which includes a lot of guilt for hitting the woman regardless of the circumstances. |

No but it's up with Saints signing Bryn Hargreaves and Soliola who a few on here can confirm I told them about before it was released.
Oh and Stuart Fielden to Wigan before it was released.
Long was got rid of at Wigan for his off field activities particularly his assault on the young girl.

Correctamundo. He goes into detail in his book about that incident so i won't spoil it. Long realised when he was shiped to the Widdong that his RL career was in bits (albeit he was putting in good shows for them).
Its quite scary to think how good he could have been had he applied himself in the same way the likes of Farrell,Scully and Rads did. |

Yes,
He probably could have been a World Class player. Just imagine if he had Shaun Edwards dedication. |

I would argue that Long has been a world class player. He has achieved a vast amount.
I also feel that if you take away the unpredictable, wildman aspect of him, you would lose half the player. |

She wasn't a young girl! You make her sound like she was 10! Stop trying to give off that impression. You've done it on the Hull board as well. |

Agreed on both counts. |

Because it's true.
a 10 year old is a child.
What do you call young?
How old was she?
Was she not young?
How you can defend him is beyond me. |
