Hopefully lasts longer than he did for Wigan as an assistant in 2013.

“Whilst it remains clear to the Wigan staff that Sean is a highly skilled and competent coach, he has found it difficult as a new staff member to integrate into the disciplined and already high-performing culture at the Wigan club.”

Happy with this. Think its a good addition.

Re: Sean Long new Assistant confirmed : Mon Oct 26, 2020 7:19 am  

Interesting that he spent time here during pre-season.
The reason im against it is at ST's he didnt hesitate to sell his mates out , couldnt give a poop on Tour with GB when we had a chance of winnjng a series & away from the pitch unreliable.
Time will tell whilst he's here but he could be good for Mclellend & Walker IF he is fully commited & behaves.

Let's wait and see I am a bit dubious though ,but KS seems to have got rid of the " rotten" culture T the club ,so I cant see him bringing in who may reverse this .

Would pay good money to watch a meeting involving JJB and Sean Long. Good money.

In Sir Kev we trust.

Happy with the appointment.

Was one of the best halfs we have produced as a country for a long time, bags of experience from the domestic game, obviously looking to tap into some of that experience.

Im sure the club has been forthright in their views regarding any off field nonsense and besides, Kev has shown that he's prepared to bite the bullet in sackings if needed.

I think Danny Orr as Assistant Coach would have been a better appointment but let`s see what Long brings to the team next year.

Re: Assistant Coach | Sean Long : Mon Oct 26, 2020 9:25 am  

Prefer Long to Orr. If Long's main role is coaching the halves it can only be a good thing. He was a seriously good player. Like others have said, trust Kev. If it doesn't work out Long will be...long gone.
