Quote: dirtbag83 "I wouldn'y say that yet. You have to start somewhere don't you? Scully has been working at the Saints academy for a few years now, although in what capacity I don't know. He has lots of potential as a coach looking at the attributes he had as a player.

I suppose we can't judge him at a job he hasn't even done before. It was similar when IL took Madge on really as that was a bit out of the blue. Yes Madge has served a top drawer apprenticeship but there were no guarentees that it would work out as well as it has. Looking back it was an inspired appointment. One thing we do know is that IL will do his due dilligence at it won't be a decision taken lightly'"


But Maguire had served six years under Craig Bellamy.

Surely that was less of a risk than someone who has worked 'in some capacity' in the Saints Academy?

Quote: Rogues Gallery "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.

Like you i heard about this some time ago, it may have come via yourself, i cant remember. I quite like the idea as it doesn't need a big change just a few new ideas, and I think an Australian assistant would want to make a name for him self and look at changing whats in place (John Dorahay ((sp)) style)

He's only being appointed assistant though so that means serving six years under someone else.

It's not as much as a risk as when Saints appointed as HEAD coach, a guy who had no club coaching experience whatsoever and was known only for being the best ever player for their most hated rivals....one year, one SL title....

I remember this rumour about Sculthorpe circulating over a year ago. At the time I thought that it was strange, and still do, as he has no real experience and I dont really see what he can offer as things stand. I couldnt really care less about his Saints history as in my opinion the club should appoint the best person for the job regardless of that. I am just not sure if Sculthorpe is that person. However there is no smoke without fire and the fact this rumour has come around again makes me think there must be something in it.

If Wane is to take the head coach job then I would dearly like some current NRL input into the coaching staff to keep up to date with all the latest training methods and tactics. For me a combination of Wane and Sculthorpe leaves us in a danger of stagnating and not going forward.

Games as big as Grand Finals define individuals and clubs. Remember, we only rent these journeys. In my time I had Pat Richard's shirt. Ellery Hanley had Sean O'Loughlin's jersey. Sam Tomkins is wearing Radders' number one jersey. Andy Coley is wearing Shaun Wayne's jersey. You have to make a mark in these shirts before you hand it down to someone else. Hand it back. So be aware for 80 minutes that you are not only playing, but you are also writing history and creating legacy. How many people actually write history - not many? A big stage demands big players…..INSPIRE YOUR TEAM MATES. Martin Offiah MBE, pre-Grand Final Speech, 2nd October 2010.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_33718.jpg

If he was a wigan legend no one would have any issues it is the fact he played for Saints that is the problem for some - he is as qualified as Rads or Farrell for example and not many would have an issue if they got the no 2 job

Sculthorpe would be an astute person to have on board, level headed, well respected vastly experienced on the playing field who I think would have no problem at all transfering it to the training field or the dressing room.

Probably a nasty case of chinese rumours though.

I think that it would be a good idea. I'm sure that Rads will be appointed as assistant for definate - whats wrong with having more than one assistant.

If id have seen this thread earlier I'd have asked him - he was in my neighbours garden the other day

Hasn't Rads said that he's not interested in the coaching aspect? He's Team Manager at the minute and I'm sure I read that he's happy with that role

What has to be said here is that people need to forget the Saints vs Wigan bickering and remember 1 thing and 1 thing only. Sculthorpe is an intelligent RL legend.

He knows the game inside out and this "lack of fresh thinking" is rubbish! Who better to know what should be done on a RL field than one of the most revered and successful players to ever play the sport!

He may not be a Wiganer and he may never have played for us but to say he would offer nothing to the team is frankly ludicrous.

Whatever happened to Billy McGinty's pineapple? "unless you hit it directly at Paul Wellens, it's several minutes before he'll arrive at the ball." Saddened "I'm done. Brown out.

Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. (Winston Churchill):d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40218.jpg



Scully will follow the money and opportunity. He's an Oldham lad, no loyalties to Saints so far as I know. I've no idea what he has actually been doing at Saints since he retired, regardless of the title he was given. He has mentioned a wish to coach in the past so presumably he's been offered an opportunity to do so. He's been working with young players for some time, runs his summer schools and such like. Has his badges. I've spent half a day with him on a girls rugby taster day and seen him interact with young people and he does well with it.

Not bothered about him leaving Saints myself. Some Saints fans are bothered though but I'm more interested in the talent we have coming through than the talent we had but has now moved on.
