Clearly the same objective viewpoint as the top RL teams in this country.

How many twitter accounts do you read from coaches with similar comments, none I suspect because one of the Key attributes of a coach is professionalism, something Longy lacks.

I read quite a few sport twitter accounts and Longy's is not much different. I am struggling to remember anything controversial tbh.

Always difficult to say with player going straight into coaching but the people who know him best such as players/coaches seem to think he will do well.

I would have taken him as a no.2 with a a new head coach.

You missed my point. If he was offered a position who offered it when? I just hope it was from the old lot as it suggests that the current coaching set up is here to stay because if there was to be any change at the top any coaching appointment would surely wait for the new head coach to be in place.

Ah sorry bud, I agree tbf I reckon it was the old lot as I am sure AP will want his new coach to pick his own 2nd man

Not a chance for me, the days of employing ex-players who fancy a shot at coaching is long gone if we really want to challenge.
I suggest Longy starts at under 8s and works his way through, Longy loves controversy hence his comments/jokes about building a gypsy site on some land, he has not grown up and I fear he will always want to be the clown. His beahviour may well have been acceptable in the 80s however times have changed it is not a lads sport any-more, like I say the fact none of the top clubs have gone in for him speaks volumes.

Listening to Longy on Humberside last night he stated he hadnt had any offers from Hull at all but this chance came along and was to good to turn down. Plus he wasnt able to relocate to Hull or near Hull so non starter for me.

Bet that's it! Or is Pearson's much needed advisor! Absolutely no reason why he shouldn't be at the KC for either of these.

Another game to play tonight - spot Edwards in the Box...

Salford was too good to turn down, as I do not expect the likes of Tony Smith would want him as his 2nd

So we would sack our coach and get someone who has as far as I can tell has never coached a rugby league side before? Why not just get Clive Woodward in?

If this was serious I would more likely see it lined up to work alongside Agar (rightly or wrongly)

Dont get me wrong sure he would make a good coach in time

What experience of coaching RL has SE got? as far as i was aware he was defensive coach for the Welsh national Union side?
Would like to see the link to these Daily Star so called reports cos i couldnt find anything.

That always got me

I know he was a top RL player but i dont think i recall him ever making a tackle apart from the one v NZ
