Quote: Stu M "I used to train with Scully at the Lions Den years ago and got to know him well. I also donated to The Steve Prescott Foundation and got an old bike from him (he was giving it away free but it didn't feel right)
He also gave me some contacts in relation to my knee op so I do talk to him every time I see him in there, usually about Saints and rugby in general.
I had a Saints training top on weeks ago and Miski got talking to me, he told me I had just missed Welsby and we just had a small talk about rugby. Scully still looks fit enough to put a shirt on now although he's obviously skinnier now than his playing weight.
The funniest part was years ago when I was swimming with my lads who were very young then. It was literally about a month after the 2014 Grand Final and Ben Flower was in the small pool with his baby. I had my Saints shorts on and felt a bit nervous given what had happened. However he started small talk in general and seemed like a good bloke.
RL lads are a different beast to footballers, given they come from normal backgrounds they are predominantly the same as us other than they have a talent to play the game.'"
Yes, Scully in great shape and clearly worked to not let himself go post retirement from the game. Like i said, i've had chats with him, but tried to keep it away from rugby as i dont know if its something everyone would do with him, and he'd get bored with talking rugby all day.
True also re RL players being different beasts to footballers. You would never know Scully was one of the best (if not the best) player of his generation, but he always seems to have time to have a quick chat with most in the gym without messing up his session, and certainly no ego with him
