You should be banned for this.

No he shouldn't.



No matter how outdated and unpalatable his opinion may be, he hasn't broken the AUP. Back on topic please.

I've just deleted some posts that added nothing apart from personal insults. If you can't make a point without insulting someone expect a ban.

Do you want to come back on and have another alternative response, he's gone through a lot of problems of which some of them are self inflicted, most of them he dealt with.

In this scenario its an illness effecting people in different ways, most people have a neutral sympothetic response.

Saying that he's never felt better and that he's glad he's "out the other side" so soon after this is a bit of a worry. Hope he has the right people around him and treatment for the long term.

I'n my long career I've attended too many who have gone and taken the final decision thet Sean Long talks about, it's just absolutely devastating, for all. Depression is in my opinion a bi-product of modern living and affects all, no matter how "tough" or jocular they may appear to the public.



Lets face it, to Wigan fans, Sean when playing was a pantomine villain , and he tormented us........alot. But that's where it ends. So please Wigan Pie Man, be a mensch

You're the sheriff of this board Andy, but i'd have thrown this at them

Rugby league needs to get behind ex players and players etc in need of help. This is not football. We should be proud of our game and 'community spirit.'

I don't think it was meant that way, it's just a seriously brainless, out of touch view. Every village has one. Back on topic, I hope Long gets all the help he needs. It seems to be becoming a bigger issue all the time, particular amongst younger men

Problem in RL is the players dont make enough money in their careers to retire on. Prem Footballers can retire with millions in the bank and never work again, RL players are thrown to a job market they've no experience of and the change can be shocking, akin to soldiers leaving the army.

We need greater support structures in place for them. Where has mr Wilkin and Mr Peacocks great union been in all this?

I know what you mean, but all he's done is highlight the large number of people who have the "pull yourself together" attitude to these kind of things. Twitter and Faceache are full of grief/outrage junkies without us letting it being a banning offence on here.

I think it was brave of him to come out and speak about it really does take a lot of guts



The problem with longy is it's not just recent he's had demands so can't really use this has an excuse i get what he's saying about his playing career but he's had jobs at Salford,Wigan and London to grow as a coach and he's screwed everyone of them opportunitys up



You can't walk into a job like that and expect to be the top dog look at Wane he was with our youth for years and learned the trade there is a difference between playing and coaching i do think he could make a great coach someday but you have got to work for it and he needs to grow up and knock all the silly things he does on the head
