Long and Fitz are both legends of the game in their respective countries. Anything Long has done which has been controversial during his career does not distract from that imo.

Without a doubt he's made some massive mistakes during his career/younger days.
I also doubt anyone should question his "overall" commitment to the game and the clubs he has played for. His achievements during his career are second to none and he has left behind some wonderful memories for the fans that watched him play. When all is said and done, he's no Kickayne.

Longs best years were all pre-FC and when he was wearing a Saints shirt. Hes achieved nothing with us including hardly playing so to hype him up over what he did five years ago is all a bit pointless imo. If we resign him it'll be a major blunder and will leave Ellis wondering wtf he's bothered even signing with us for.

He IMO, should go be a massive mistake to keep him on the playing staff.

Although overall a poor signing without him last year we wouldn't have made the playoffs IMO.

lets be fair, if fc give long a contract we may as well give up..the guy is finished at superleague level....

If you read my post I agree he is a fantastic player...however definatley not a legend in the role model sense for the game, though he may well be one for the lads!

Can't see why any Hull fan would get dewy eyed over long. He did well for saints but so what? Has been a disaster signing for Hull

I would describe him as a legend of the game. I'm not interested in role models, the priority is to be a rugby league player.

You a fan of Cockayne then

I like Sean great player, however he let his country down big style, plus his other misdemenours, so not a legend for me.

Just watched super league extra time and they said that Longy is off to a north west club.

According to a mate of mine who lives in the West and was listening to BBC Radio Merseyside tonight, Sean said he was going to be commentating for them next season!!
