Quite a good player too actually when he is not doing a duff impression of Dan Brown!

as I say, a very good player and that's what counts, he'll add loads to your team.

The charge was assault, the girl was a young woman, pi$$ed and angry because he was messing about in front of the car in which she and her mates were travelling.

She was not a 'young girl'. That makes her sound like she was 10. Read the book Rogues or, if you have, cite it accurately.

And Wigan board were a bunch of prigs. Widnes had no probs taking on Longy and nor did Saints. All knew of his suspended sentence for the assault charge (which came about after he had been hit by one of her friends). Wigan have regretted giving away Longy and Wigan fans have been envious of the success he has brought to Saints over the subsequent 12 years. And you're sounding more and more bitter with each post you write on this subject!



As for the betting business. The RFL has had that book for weeks. My guess is that they have been pursued by the media and so think it's a good idea now to 'have a chat with' Mr Long so as to be seen to be doing something. He won't name names and I can't see him being charged with misconduct or anything for that matter. The references were purely anecdotal and I'm sure his lawyer will be ready for it.

PS: Short of testing Hock every day, there is no way of knowing he will stay clean. After all, he hid his habit well for who knows how long before that test, didn't he?

Well our off season is certainly entertaining..we make Eastender's look boring

Has anyone got/read the book already? Out of stock on Amazon.

Ordered mine off WHSmiths website last night. Only £11 depending which delivery you get.

Cheers

wow - bet he's well chuffed with all this publicity and what a coincidence its the same week as the book goes on sale

remember there's no such thing as bad publicity when you have a new book to sell

Like others have said if what has said in the book effects his Hull FC or the team in anyway I wont be very happy.

Really he should have wrote the book after he had finished playing, having said that I can see why he has done it now.

couldn't have put it better myself.

She was a teenager i.e. a young girl, not a 10 year old child.

I will buy it off you for a fiver when you have read it.

gaz raynors flogging some photocopied ones

I will then give yo £2 when you have finished

Just finished reading mine.£8.99 from Amazon.
Is a good read with some funny stories especially the one when he got in bed with Ian Millward and his mrs.

He's started back tracking

what a plonker, caught telling fibs after his legal people pointed out he digging a very large deep hole for himself

Think we will have to keep an eye on this.

See what you did there, or do I!

Either that or judging by the healthy sales and publicity he has garnered he might actually have played a blinder and be a bit cleverer than you give him credit for.

Not necessarily fibs. More the line of questioning by the media took him in a direction he didn't handle very well.

I don't think there will be any fallout at all from what he has said in his book. In fact, it seems it was what he said in his interview that the RFL was responding to, not what was said in the book. Longy, bless him, is a genius on the rugby field but he really should have legal counsel beside him at all times when discussing pretty much anything.

But rich plonker

He told the media at the shirt launch that his legal people had already been through the book before the final draft was submitted! He's just playing the game, Amazon has sold out and cannot re order till early Nov. Smiths in Manchester has sold out twice apparently, its working!

Long has said he loves and thrives on chaos. Can't wait.

Should go well at training.
