retaining Briers is a far better option

I would suggest not signing Long and releasing Briers would be an even better option.

Yeah, maybe we can have a go with 3 hookers starting every game next year.

Could Long could keep his face straight when he took the Warrington oath in front of the media:

"I came here to win trophies and play in major finals. This is a club going places and I wanted to be part of it"

Perhaps he could pick a face in the crowd and think of all the pain and suffering and all that other poop that guy wrote in the guardian the other week.

I can't see this being an option really & doesn't seem to fit in with Tony Smith's new philosophy with the club.

For me, he's past his best & his current performances are driven by his passion for Saints. I ca'nt see him being anywhere near that passionate for any other club, let alone ours.

He would be better looking for a decent deal in NL1, where he would be a very effective weapon.

I would agree with that, even reading that interview it is clear he still has a passion for Saints and doesn't really want to leave. If he does go I can see him ending up at a Salford/Celtic type club who could really make use of him.
