Sean long must go down as 1 of the best saints players of all time!

Has there been a better match winner ever to play for saints?

I can see both sides of the coin. Longy wants the best for his family so wants a 2 yr deal which is best for him and his family.

Saints know he is a shadow of the player he was. No pace, terrible passing and not to mention his kicking.

We would be mad to give him 2 more years. Even 1 seems mad on his current form.

He should take up the deal of another year and see how he plays.

I think we need a scrum half for next year.

i suspect that the 1 year offer will be more about helping to establish Eastmond and Wheeler in the half back positions rather than being the first choice number 7 every week. we will be short of experienced players should KC and Gidley leave, so we need some older heads around the club. im sure that Long is good for team morale too, which is an important quality to have.

It's a shame but all good things come to a end.

I'm bit shocked that saints ain't prepared for this by giving eastmond more game time.

From what I gather wheeler is higher up pecking order than eastmond.

We will be taking huge huge risk by taking a gamble on either wheeler or eastmond.

Maybe we got a scrum half lined up for when the 2 kids are ready

Club are doing the right thing here.

They have shown thier respect for him by offering him another deal, and also by announcing early that he is free to pursue offers elsewhere.

Longy is one of the greats at the club and im glad that for all parties involved that everything is out in the open re his future

Spot on - I'm glad the club have made him or will be making him some kind of offer but we would be insane to offer him anything more than a 1 year contract with an option of a further year if the CLUB want him. That way if by some miracle he is still playing at a high level and our young player fall flat on their faces we still have an option.
