Why are people having heart attacks over this? Has Longy ever professed to be an angel? (Mind you, he did try to be, at one point. Did you read about him going along to the 'God squad' meetings?) I think the book is very honest and that's what makes it a good read (plus there are some funny stories in there).

Everyone is sounding so up themselves it's ludicrous, especially from the fans of Wigan, home of Fat Fekka the bus driver assaulter and the banned druggie Hock. Ha! And stones are coming this way! What a joke.

PS: I don't know whether betting on scoring a drop goal at a certain point in the game - which didn't happen anyway - would be considered match fixing?

Well maybe people should think twice about their comments about Saints. If people can't take it, they shouldn't serve it up, especially when hypocrisy is involved, which clearly it is here (and not from Saints!).

PS: I assume the above incident was a bad one by your reaction though I have no knowledge of it at all, so my comment is a general one.

Thank you John

Fair enough.

But the point I was making still stands. People on here have thrown mud at Saints because Longy was a wild child. That is hypocritical even currently bearing in mind you have a man convicted of assault playing for you and a drug using player who is banned on your staff. I hardly think it was necessary to sling mud at my club in that way just because Longy told stories pretty much everyone knew about anyway!

My comment was not about his unfortunate illness it was about the way it was "hushed up" by the club, ....this was the incident.

What was the Pongia incident?

I'm a Saints Fan mate, if you read further above I've made virtually the same point as you.

Judder man if I remember correctly Wigan didn't hush it up. They kept it quiet due to Quentin's wishes, which is pretty honourable in my opinion.

Who's that?
Can't condone what Feka did, but it wasn't against a young girl was it, and he hasn't paid another bribe to stop ANOTHER assault charge from being made public.

Hock, obviously, who is supposed to be helping with the yoof, last I heard.


If I were you I would rewrite that because if you have read the book, and I have, you've twisted certainly the second point (he did not beat the guy up, his mate did). He was blackmailed, he didn't pay a bribe.

It made the RFL realise that there was a potential medical risk to fellow players, I,m almost sure the "blood bin" process was rigidly applied after the incident became public through the media.

I love it when wigoon and stains fans have a bitch fest over a few words in a book. Simple dont buy it carry on CHEERS boys

Who told you that?
