Whilst it was right we were singing his praises I did think it was a bit off to be chanting "Theres only one Sean Long" when the players came over to the fans at the end of the match. It was a superb team performance and they all deserved the praise at the end of the game. Just a thought.

could have sworn i saw 2 shaun longs on the pitch

Fair point, however he is the captain and it was probably sung to hurt the saints even more

It was Longys day and i think the rest of the players were well aware of the occasion.

Tbf, we had just finished a rendition of Old Faithful before we started up that one.

I disagree. Yes it was special for Long but the whole team put in a massive effort and deserved the praise just as much. By all means chant his name during the game etc but when the players come over for a bit of well earned praise at the end of a tough match I dont really agree with singing about just one player. Just my opinion of course.

Similar to when the players did a 'lap of honour' at the end of the match against bradford last season and everyone directed chants at Motu Tony?

Well no not really as that was our chance to say goodbye to Motu.

All the players were applauded, it just happened that they came along as that song was being sung.

No we started to sing it as they and specifically Longy arrived, it wasn't just a coincidence. Look its not a big deal really I was just giving my opinion that specific songs for specific players are more suited to "in-game" situations (like the "One Tom Briscoe" song after he scored his try) rather than when the praise should be for the whole team at the end of the game. TBF I cant really recall it happening with any other players in similar circumstances before?

Well summed up Mrs B.

It was actually good to hear a new song. If that gets sung more than "Wash your mouth out son..." in future I'll be delighted.

agree with that. Also the are you watching HKR at any game except a televised one.
