Longy leaving London already? : Tue Feb 18, 2014 9:01 pm  

Article on Love rugby league

says London wanted him to go part time.

How can you ask someone who commutes from Wigan to work part time? If it means him just working a few days a week, what help can he be?

I am really disappointed, Sean was really starting to connect with the young players, and especially with the backs. The reason for the reduction in the days he spent at the club we heard was for personal reasons, and even though the reasons were then carried in the media, Long denied it! From the start it did not seem Sean would be in London all week?

Big error letting him go, I was hoping that Rea would have been moved upstairs this season to CEO, just because he managed to scrape a few wins together then he returned to help out temporary, he was offered a full time post, I feel he has lost it as far as coaching goes. But we continue with a CEO from a cricket background????

Rea isn't a coach, I'm not saying bring in a quality coach and you'll win lots of games, but your players would at least have a fighting chance. Getting hammered every week isn't going to help the club or the players progress.
I'd have thought it would be a great opportunity for a young coach, if you lose every game no one will blame you, but if you do scrape a win or two it'll really promote your reputation

I'm not convinced it's possible for London to win a game this season with the playing staff they have. I doubt they would beat our academy either.

I just hope Longy doesn't end up in Rugby Union, he's clearly a really talented coach.

It would take a truly terrible performance from another side for them to get a win. They'd be mid table or worse in the championship
