Heard Long is off to Salford in a player exchange. Apparently came from a reliable source who said he hadn't settled. However, the person who told me was hammered so could be a load of rubbish.
At the forum last week I thought Rule looked a bit shifty when asked if Long would be here next season.
I think his reply was something like "Sean is a contracted player for us next season". There was no adamancy in his reply or assurances that Long would definitely be playing in a Hull shirt next year. Maybe I'm reading too much into nothing but I just didn't feel too convinced.
There were rumours on the Salford board to back what you say, but they also think Sinfield will be a devil next year.
For me, a fit Long is still up there with the best. The games he played last season we scored tries and looked capable of scoring tries. When he didn't play we didnt. Simple as that.
I remember in one of his diaries Wilf saying as he watched Long in agony leaving the pitch with his dislocated elbow that he was also watching our season disappear down the drainpipe. And so it proved to be.
