I have to disagree with you on that one. Ages is a hughe factor. IIRC my A-Level science correctly the Male body is at it's peak from 21-26. I would belive with modern training techniques, a sportsman can keep their body at top level into their early to mid 30's but after that age starts to take its toll.

I believe the reason some sportmens can keep going into their lates 30's is their mental agility.

It was amazing, he absolutely refused to loose!

loose or lose?

Newlove was Fev' through and through. Helping Castleford getting relegated was probably a perfect end to his career in his eyes.

Long has been a great player for Saints and should provide the direction that Hull FC need. Anyone that says Sean Long has not turned up in the big games obviously supports a team that does not play in many of them.

A good signing for Hull FC. HKR are proof that you can turn round round things in a short space of time. I am sure Hull will be a better team at the end of his 2 years.

He did mention in an interview something about coaching too to maybe we have offered him the possibilty of a coaching role when he is through?

Hope youre looking after Shayne McMenemy down there
