As one of the best half-back partnerships of their generation, they tore defences up together for St Helens and Great Britain.
But now Super League greats Sean Long and Leon Pryce are plotting to bring opponents to their knees again as coaches. Ex- Man of Steel Long, 46, took over at Featherstone Rovers ahead of the forthcoming season after leaving his role as Leeds Rhinos assistant. It’s the decorated scrum-half’s first head coach gig and he knew just who he wanted alongside him.
Pryce, 41, helped Long drive Saints to trophies galore in their glory days. And he was seen as the perfect pick as his assistant at big-spending Championship outfit Featherstone. Have they been rolling back the years in training together ahead of the February 6 big kick-off?
