It is mate.

I,ve been waiting quite a long time for this to happen, Long will be brilliant for both parties. He,s back home where he belongs, he,s got a great back line to work with, its the challenge that will get rid of any of his remaining demons.

I said this ages ago

Simply awesome news. Awesome, awesome, awesome.

Just really hope nothing puts a spanner into the works and prevents this.

Do you finish your medication this weekend!!

Rock and roll returns to Saints

This is brilliant IMO. If he can pick up his career the way it was going when he was attack coach at Salford, we could be in for some very exciting rugby next year.

Yup. Get the fairy lights up on the cladding and we're back!

Long overdue (excuse the pun)

This will either be boom or bust!

I can't see Saints tolerating his behaviour in the same way we did when he was a player, so hopefully he has grown up a bit.

Do people think all this has been in the pipeline for a while? Has brown been used to fill a gap until KC\Longy ready? Seems strange how Brown has left without a job and it's known he's applied for some in Aus. It all seems to have fitted into place quite nicely.

KC was being lined up to replace Brown at the end of next year. That was always the plan. Browns in laws have health issues and that's the reason he's gone early.

Don,t think so, Browny's job was to re build the team and stay competitive for silverware, KC as Pete says was still learning his apprenticeship. Daniel Anderson told McManus that Longy would make a great coach one day.
I think its just been accelerated 1 season, to be honest I thought it could have been the other way around Longy ending up as coach with KC as asssistant.
We don,t really know how its going to work out, will it be "2 heads better than one" or "Too Many Cooks"

Did Wigun sack Longy or did he walk away?

Bit of both I think. I seem to recall getting the impression they were "professionally incompatible".
