Transformed Salford's attack. Knowledgable with modern fresh ideas. Crazy bloke but would have him coaching our attack in a heartbeat.

I knew this last week. He told me he looks like being the Samoa assistant coach in the World Cup as well.

Maybe he can't coach the robotic style that Wigan play. Apart from the skill of Tomkins and Charnley the rest is just using endless dummy runners to obstruct opponents.

Re: Sean Long : Fri Jul 19, 2013 8:22 pm  

Good to see. It never felt right him being there. Hopefully all he did was urinate in the sinks and write 'I love Saints' everywhere.

Re: Sean Long : Fri Jul 19, 2013 9:03 pm  

GET HIM BACK AT SAINTS!

Re: Sean Long : Fri Jul 19, 2013 9:30 pm  

Bring back Longy !! He might be a Wigan lad but he was born to be a Saint

What an absolute load of rubbish.

Scored the most conceeded the least and play a very attractive brand of rugby, hence why the back three have scored so many tries.

Only Warrington and possibly Catalan play an 'easier on the eye' style of rugby.

Just because you have scored the most points doesn't mean the style of play is attractive.

It is extremely robotic, yet very effective, especially against the lower sides. One of the reasons you have failed to win the important games recently is your lack of a plan b. And the reason you have no plan b is that you are too structured in many ways and have no 'off the cuff' ability to fall back on. I can't remember the last time I watched Wigan do anything that surprised me.

And a saints fan finding something to call Wigan about doesn't surprise me either. You have your opinion and that's fine but i go every week and its great to watch these days with a mixture of aggression and a fantastic skill factor in the backs.
You have a point on the plan B though i'll give you that.
