Even if we were to offer him a two year deal, surely by the start of 2011 he'd be behind Eastmond and Smith in the pecking order anyway and thus be surplus to requirements? Surely he realised this as well.

Maybe - it depends if he needs the money or not. Can you see him making the move into broadcasting or coaching? I can't.

Maybe he can move into chemistry with his dad

Thanks for the memories but goodbye

One of your better quips.

Sean long must go down as 1 of the best saints players of all time!

Has there been a better match winner ever to play for saints?

I can see both sides of the coin. Longy wants the best for his family so wants a 2 yr deal which is best for him and his family.

Saints know he is a shadow of the player he was. No pace, terrible passing and not to mention his kicking.

We would be mad to give him 2 more years. Even 1 seems mad on his current form.

He should take up the deal of another year and see how he plays.

I think we need a scrum half for next year.

Warrington need a scrum half for next year

I dont know what id do if i saw Sean Long dropping back for Wire at KR against us with the scores tied and 3 seconds to go.

i suspect that the 1 year offer will be more about helping to establish Eastmond and Wheeler in the half back positions rather than being the first choice number 7 every week. we will be short of experienced players should KC and Gidley leave, so we need some older heads around the club. im sure that Long is good for team morale too, which is an important quality to have.

It's a shame but all good things come to a end.

I'm bit shocked that saints ain't prepared for this by giving eastmond more game time.

From what I gather wheeler is higher up pecking order than eastmond.

We will be taking huge huge risk by taking a gamble on either wheeler or eastmond.

Maybe we got a scrum half lined up for when the 2 kids are ready

Spot on - I'm glad the club have made him or will be making him some kind of offer but we would be insane to offer him anything more than a 1 year contract with an option of a further year if the CLUB want him. That way if by some miracle he is still playing at a high level and our young player fall flat on their faces we still have an option.

Sorry to see him go, if he doea go, but another year is o.k, under the circumstances

But some are worth the coin
