@ St Pete..........................

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?

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!

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.

all the best Longy, thanks for the service and memories.

a Saints legend

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.

Thank you so much for all those great times and special memories.It's been one hell of a 12 years.
All the very best Longy.

Am i the only one who is really happy at Sean Long leaving ?

The guy is finished! As been for two years and another 1 year plus would of crippled us as a club.

Time to move on folks. Good move by Saints, good move by Sean but a poor movy by Hull imo!

All the best to Longy - he's been an awesome servant to the club and has given us his best years just like Hanley and Gregory did for Wigan before they were offloaded.

With the salary high salary he probably commanded retaining a player who would have been 35 by the time his contract ended would have been counter productive to the youngsters coming through.

Now this is settled we need to look to give Eastmond alot more gametime at 7 imo

got to say with acception of st pete, you saint fans deserve a pat on the back over longys exit to us, took it in good taste, he`s been great for saints and hopefully great to us, wish we could get him to us now though, fancy a mid season swap for thorman???????
