Long has received abuse in local derbies for obvious reasons at the JJB, but never once did he get the same sledging that Newton got last night, when we have had internationals at the JJB.

Absolutely correct - Long got booed at most grounds after the betting fiasco but I never heard anyone boo him in an international match. I dropped the RFL an email after the challenge cup game which we watched at home with some friends who know nothing about rugby - we had been telling them what a fabulous game it is and how it is more family orientated etc only to hear loud and clear "Die Newton Die" over the airwaves. Briefly thought of telling our friends that it was a Welsh player they were shouting at (Dai Newton :eh: ) but decided not to insult their intelligence. Drop the RFL a line at enquiries@rfl.uk.com then maybe next time they will put an important match away from muppetland
