As QP says, the quote was: “He’s basically come in and said that
he needs someone to be on the forwards about their running lines
flat out and he can’t be doing it as a 10 and they need to bring
in Sean Long.”
So sounds more like a forwards attack coach that wanted...

Confirmed by club as signing for Quins as assistant coach......
HARLEQUINS IS EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE TODAY (10TH JUNE 2019) THAT
THE CLUB HAS SIGNED SEAN LONG AS ASSISTANT COACH FROM NEXT
SEASON.
Sean joins the Club from St Helens where he is Assistant Coach
to the rugby league side who are currently top of the Super
League table and secured their place in the Challenge Cup
semi-final with victory over Wakefield Trinity on 1st June.
A former rugby league scrum-half who played for both England and
Great Britain, Sean also won a host of domestic titles across
his career including two World Club Challenges, four Grand
Finals and five Challenge Cups. He was a Lance Todd winner three
times and awarded the Man of Steel Trophy in the year 2000 as a
result of being the best player in the Super League that season.

Commenting on the appointment Harlequins Head of Rugby Paul
Gustard said: “I have been looking at adding a coach to assist
with some of the finer detail around running lines and creating
numerical advantages for some time now and I am delighted that
Sean has decided to join Quins ahead of other Premiership
options as he takes his first foray into coaching union.
“From an early age, rugby league players have core skill
acquisition engrained in their developmental pathway. The skill
fundamentals of catch pass, tackling and running lines take
precedence over what shape your team plays and they are the key
and critical transferable skills which are required in union.
“As a player, Sean was a stand-out amongst his peers and perhaps
his greatest strength, despite all his talent, is his
competitive desire. We can see with the performance of St Helens
this year the impact he is now having as a coach with their
attack as they compete at the top of Super League and enter into
the semi-finals of the Challenge Cup after a 40-point thrashing
over Wakefield.
“We welcome Longy and his partner Sally-Ann to Harlequins and
look forward to the contribution he will make as we look to
build on last season’s improvements.”

Sean Long added: “I’m really excited to be joining Harlequins.
It’s time for me to pursue a new challenge and Quins is a top
Club with a group of talented players and hard-working staff; I
can’t wait to join up with them.
“I wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone in rugby
league for the time I have had there, but now I’m focused on
Harlequins and am looking forward to getting started on the
preparations for next season.”
He will join up with the team from 8th July when the squad
returns for pre-season training.

He was an outstanding RL player. Looks as though he could be a
great signing to add to our current coaching group.
Welcome to the club Sean Long, wishing you the best.

"to assist with some of the finer detail around running lines
and creating numerical advantages" seems quite a limited brief
(important though the idea is)

Gussy talked about the amount of time they spend on defensive
training and time on attacking training. Too much time on
defense meant less tries scored. More time on attack meant more
tries scored but defensively weaker. It seems to me he's trying
to get the best of both worlds with this appointment.
