When Maurice sold me to Leeds something changed, it just not the same, the passion inside me just wasn’t the same as running out at Central park for my hometown club.
We need a change of culture here; we don’t want to be just happy with playing ok on Saturday at St Helens.
Ill make sure that from now on things will change, that players will be under pressure and will train a lot harder than they have before.

I have seen him in the Max's kids club before a game. It was quite funny seeing him leaning against the bar and the kids were oblivious to him.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

Blimey!!
Even though he is a saints legend, it is hard not to have respect for Sculley as he was a monster of a player and a legend of the SL era.
Not sure why he would be grabbing the 2nd spot as is first assignment though?
As for Rads, i am sure he has mentioned that he is not interested in coaching per say. I think he prefers the managerial side of things.
Would cause more than a stir if it was to come of. I dont think he is "Aryan" enough for some Wigan fans.
I cant personally see any benefit his appointment, what has he shown to make anybody think he would be a good coach?
Dumb move

Can`t see it myself.
What I can see is that, assuming Shaun Wane gets the job, his assistant will be from Wigan or be an ex-Wigan player.

Sadly I've heard this is all but done and Scully is set to be named our no2 with Wane as head coach. When I first heard about this I genuinely believed it was a wind up but reading that backs my sources up. Bad move IMO although in IL we trust!.

Ah, good taste!
What a dreadful thing!

bringing in a hungry no 2 with new ideas would be great. personally i would prefer it if this was a UK person, who can go through the system as wane has done.
given the success that Faz and Edwards have had, perhaps we could go for a gifted young coach from a different sport who can learn the specifics of RL but bring in the new ideas from a different arena ?
we have to stop this mentality of going to aus if we are ever to start seeing decent uk coaches again. i am hoping that wane is successful and shows that you can promote from within providing they have done the hard graft and learnt their trade. |

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

| I first heard about it a month or so ago. I can see both the pro's and cons.
pro's
A very well respected and experienced ex RL player with very good leadership qualities.
cons
Very little coaching experience.
Lenagan hasn't got much wrong since he came to Wigan, so I guess we'll have to trust him to make the correct decision.
One thing, they won't have to pay Scully travelling expenses. 
We couldn't have brought a "rookie" Australian in as assistant, as he would not get a work permit. |

I would like a UK appointment too. But i just think that we should balance the coaching as IL seems to want to balance the team. Wigan/UK core with some Aussie input. |
