Not back this season, have we seen the last of him in a Hull shirt? Or in any shirt?

Long says he still wants to stay, as he feels he has let down the fans. While I commend the guy for this I am not sure his body will let him.

Coaches role would get my nod though, if he can pass on what he knows and show Ellis ect he would be still a great asset.

If he feels he has let us down he can play next season for free

if he wants to stay then he can but only in a coaching capacity but for me longy still wants to play so 1 more year at widnes could be a great way to retire where he started of as a young player. i cant see him been a coach here when he could most prob get the same kind of job ect back at saints a team closer to home for him

Whatever happens,it is disappointing it hasn`t worked out.Wish he had been here in his prime.

if a deal could be done as pay as you play i would be happy to keep him another year as long as it does not cost us anything it he gets injured

Why do people keep suggesting 'pay as you play'??

It's not possible to do it!!!!

its a shame it didnt really work out with Longy as when hes been on the field hes been a class act IMO..

I think with the recruitment next year theres no chance of us retaining him..Id personally like to see him in some kind of coaching capacity next year.

True.

Longy could/should be a massive asset to the British game, hopefully a half back coach position with numerous clubs will be his amediate future.

Yes it is. You could just declare the maximum he could possibly be paid into the cap but you would only actually pay him for what for the games he plays.

But it would be a truly horrible way to manage the cap.

Imo we should let him and Fitz retire gracefully: Both have been and still are fantastic servants to the game, but we (Hull Fc) have to move forward and resigning these two players will not do that. If Fitz's injury is as bad as suspected by some then he'll become as much of a passenger as Long. Coaching capacity? Now that's another thing all together.
