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.

Hula - It would be improper of me to comment.

classy post

If he takes the job I'd wish him all the best. He was a great player for us but for whatever reason there doesn't seem to be a role available for him on the coaching staff at Saints and people need to earn a living.

it puzzles me why wane would express an opinion on sculthorpe as a coach ? are they drinking buddies ? played in different eras , different teams, sculthorpe no real coaching experience. It all seems a bit random to me ...

Wigan fans bigging up Scully

Wouldn't have seen that last week.

Sculthorpe can't be coach as there are not enough mirrors, hair dryers and gel at the club after Hansen & Fielden have filled their boots!

so when is this supposed to be announced?

If you've read the article you're in possession of as many facts as everyone else regarding this.

It is worth bearing in mind it's a Daily Mail article though.

A second half brawl?
Was he at the game?

I watched it this morning and there wasn't a punch thrown, just pushing and shoving. A ridiculous piece of journalism.

From a piece writtern by Andy Wilson? Who'd have thunk it.

You fearing the mighty RFL Ban lottery? Perry got banned for one of the least impressive fights I've seen on a Rugby field in some time so you really never know ... and what do expect from trash like the Guardian?
