Fair enough if he can't drive though I wouldn't have thought it would be that difficult to get here. I do think that as our club captain the guy should be "at work" doing whatever he can for the team which would include advice , motivation , PR with the fans etc. Not his fault if we've not asked/made him do it but I might have retained a bit more belief if I'd regularly seen Long supporting the team and by that I mean seeing him out on the pitch "with the boys" before games , at a few under 20's games etc. It just sends out a message that his heart was never in it whether that's true or not.

He isnt.

And there you have it... the elephant in the room.

Agar, Long & Gleeson - AP should be ditching these chancers at the first opportunity.

why, he's quite right, Long and Gleeson were (unwanted) guns for hire, and they have contributed the square root of f'k all to the club.

Not true, they both care deeply about the club. If anything happened to Hull FC who'd keep them in beer tokens?

Do you care about your employer i.e. the owner/directors/partners/shareholders?

Or do you just care about your job?

Some do. Some dont. I watched Richard Whiting against Wigan and he looked like he cared about wearing the shirt. I guess if you supported the club it means more also. Longy and Gleeson are Wigan lads I guess so are never going to care as much as say Yeamo for instance I wouldnt think.

I was more amused at the idea that anyone would think that two professional RL players with no links to the area would care about the club any more than was required by their job. On the one hand we have people banging on about how the club needs to operate with less sentiment and on the other we apparently expect pro players to 'care' about the club.

Both Long and Gleeson have fulfilled their contractual obligations and when on the pitch have put in the required effort. Judging by Long's Twitter feed he still follows us, wants us to win, and respects his team-mates. Not sure what else people expect TBH.
