I very much doubt he'll be offered anything (and nor should he be), AP will have learnt his lesson when he inherited Bullard.

He's had a fantastic career, it's a shame he joined a team that couldn't give him a good send off with his last few medals. The time is right for him to retire though.

He was/still is a great player, but even if we'd made it to any finals he would have probably been injured for them anyway.

it's a shame we were stupid enough to sign him when he was made out of biscuit.

Should have retired after leaving Saints.

from what we saw of him, he semi-retired!

As a player it would appear so. He's had his day and been one of the best 7's the country has produced IMO. Maybe time to hang up the boots and get into coaching. I would like to see him stay at Hull in some kind of coaching capacity, maybe to coach the halfbacks, attacking plays and field kicking. Theres something about Longy that makes me think he would become a great coach one day.

If we could get Long on a pay as you play contract,I'd have him in an instant,still class when on the feild and not very enthusiastic about the Seymour signing and Elliss is miles away.

Maybe he can be the assistant coach to a new head coach? As for playing I think his playing days are just about over unfortunately as time has caught up with him now and his body can not take the rigours of SL.

But all good things have to come to an end at some point, just a shame we never saw him enough in the Black & White.

In answer to the OP: Let's hope so. Mind you this is FC and since we've already re-signed one crocked halfback who ought to have had the decency to retire, we'll probably try and complete the set!

I don't understand why people seem so keen on having Long around as a coach either, just because someone was once a good player has no bearing on how good a coach they would be.

I think an assitant coaching role at a championship side, especially someone like halifax looking ot make the push to sl at the next reshuffle, would suit longy just fine

You will never know until he is given a chance at a coaching role. Why shouldn't Hull be the ones to give him his big break in the coaching side of the game. Who would you sooner coach the Hull halfbacks. Agar or Long?
