Scully was fantastic for us, his offload game was surreal and his go forward quality. It’s a shame he never hit the heights he should have done but as others said it certainly wasn’t down to lack of talent or attitude.

Also got to agree with Rogues about Terry O’Connor, he was very much underrated for us and a great prop forward.

Rogues has daft opinions, according to rogues there will be a young lad in st.pats under 10's who is alex murphy,wally lewis,haney and tom vollenhoven all rolled into one and according to rogues mickey mac is a far superior to james roby. i deal in facts , and the fact is scully senior was a far superior player to his younger,podgier,dirtier little sibling

No you don't, you deal in opinion like everyone else. An opinion I happen to agree with in this instance but an opinion nonetheless How is it that people such as yourself are unable to understand the difference? If you say the score of a certain game was, say 24-12, that would be a fact. If you said that player X or Y was the best player on the field that would be opinion. It's not really that difficult to understand.

Did farrell win back to back man of steel awards like scully ....the only player ever to do it......no , in his book darren lockyear stated the only player the aussies were scared of was paul sculthorpe, in major finals between them the score is scully 2 faz 1 and finally like those other rugby league "legends" farrell, edwards and robinson did scully sell his soul to the twickenham devil for 30 pieces of silver and a ford mondeo .......again no

Did Paul Sculthorpe ever win the Golden Boot (back when it was a real trophy) as the worlds best player?

It's a shame we won't get to see your reasoned and sensible posts about Wigan anymore. Maybe the mods will give you a lifeline and you'll still be able to post your vitriol on all things Wigan on the VT with the rest of them.

Was nice to see Lockers usual penalty from a high tackle
