| What did Scully do to deserve this award?
Is there going to be something coming out soon of him fiddling the salary cap on behalf of Saints?

Reading some of the bumf on the BBC site about this, they have left themselves some room to reward athletes again after Rio, if Weir were calling it a day then he would have been a top shout for a knighthood, a decent showing in Brazil should secure it. Same with a few of the Paralympic athletes and a some able bodies ones.

His raising money for charity and his contribution to many of Steve Prescott's exploits I presume.

| Quote: Chris28 "Forgot too about the guy from Bletchley who broke codes in WW2, who's waited 67 years to finally scrape an MBE. Perhaps they were hoping he'd snuff it then they wouldn't need to give him anything.'"
Mebbe they thought he might have been a "friend" of Alan Turing?

It was for services to Rugby League, particularly his decision to leave Warrington and join Saints

| Quote: Chris28 "Disappointed too that David Weir won 4 golds at the Paralympics and only got a CBE. Some of those with a gold medal got lumped in with the others at M level, and I haven't seen gold medal winner Nick Skelton on the list at all. All very inconsistent and mysterious, whatever your view of the system.'"
Skelton was awarded an OBE just 6 months ago in the Queen's Birthday honours list. Weir's knighthood is surely only a matter of time.

The CBE is just below a knighthood isn't it? The MBE is the bottom rung of the award ladder.
As for Scully, he was awarded the MBE for services to rugby league and charity. He has accompanied Prekky on every challenge, he supports a local mental health charity and he is involved in Joining Jack. I don't think there is any need for the cynicism with regard to Scully. He fully deserves his MBE.

I've spoken to a couple of royals – does that count?

I suppose it's possible that the scab could manage one thing right.

Apart from the fact that it was the British banking industry that caused the near-meltdown of the British banking industry (you need to stop reading The Sun ) you are right in the fact that he is a spectacular tool lol
