Long Favourite To Shine

[Fraggle]

From SportingLife.com http://www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... _Long.html

Sean Long, man of the match in St Helens' Challenge Cup final win in 2001, is the bookmakers' favourite to repeat the feat in Saturday's showdown with Wigan.

Long, who was also man of the match in Saints' 46-6 semi-final win over Huddersfield last month, is 4-1 with Littlewoods Bet Direct, who make Saints captain Paul Sculthorpe second favourite at 6-1 and another team-mate, Keiron Cunningham, 13-2.

Wigan skipper Andy Farrell is the most strongly fancied Wigan player to be named man of the match at 13-2.

Bet Direct have promised to refund all losing bets placed on the match if either of the Sculthorpe brothers, Paul and Danny, score the last try of the match.

Saints are the 4-9 favourites to lift the trophy with Wigan at 13-8. The Warriors have an eight-point start on the handicap coupon."

I wonder how much Long has bet on himself to be MoM?!

More like how much has he bet that he isn't man of the match!

It's a bit convienient that this betting stuff has'nt been sorted out before the final or am i just being cynical !!!! :conf:

It's good that it hasn't been sorted yet! We don't want Milly coming out with any excuses cos they've fallen over and died, 46-0 to Wigan!
