Saints boardIt's shame long didn't do 1 more year.'"
Hull FC boardIt's big risk but IMO saints did rite in letting long go.
A change of club may do him some good. He still better than what you got at moment though.'"

And....... What's the point??
He is old, his kicking is crap and we doing the rite thing letting him go.
With nobody at the level needed to step up it would have been ok if he did another year in which we could bed eastmond in.
Is that not common sense?

What's so funny?
Is long old?
Do most people think saints r rite not to give him 2yrs?
Could change of club do him good?
And also IMO he could have maybe done another year to help either eastmond or wheeler.
To be honest you ass I would have liked longy to do a year but it's prob better all round for sean, saints and hull.

| Sad day. Another of the amazing quartet is set to leave the club. First Scully and now Long, with just KC and Wello left. 
Thanks for everything Sean, you're a legend! |

Although I'm happy we're moving on and (hopefully) putting faith in one of the youngsters to step up, I'm heartbroken that an era has ended and Longy will be facing us next year.
Good luck Longy, thanks for the memories. Make you're last few months in the red vee your best!'"
Couldn't have put it better myself. It would be great if we could see him off with a trophy in his final season here. He's been nothing short of a legend. It's good that we know when he's going so we can see him off properly.
Along with Joynt and KC he's been one of our key players throughout Super League and it's sad that an era is coming to a close. What it does do is give Eastmond and Wheels the opportunity to stake a claim for a starting half back spot and although Wheels has looked more comfortable at the top, Eastmond has a good enough kicking game to make the 7 spot his.
They should bring out a Saints t-shirt with 7 on the back and Lance Todd written above the number. |

I'm sure the biggest shock for him will be moving up to Hull with a young family. Every club he has played for has been within a small area close to home, just hope that he copes with it.

Do you think he will move, or commute? |

| Absolutely gutted.
Should have given him a 2 year deal; clearly other SL teams still believe in him more than we do which must hurt.
IMO we got this one wrong and we should also have considered the effect this will have on the team morale. He has some very close friends in the team who might not be looking forward to next year quite as much who might also be thinking about their future and how loyalty is treated etc etc.

I think its a shame we couldn't keep him for 12 months longer but I don't think 2 years would have been a good move at this stage.
