He'll mean Sculthorpe won't he? Been touted for a few coaching jobs since he retired.

Let’s hope that’s not true. Rovers have done relatively well but we have to be honest and say that they are defensively inconsistent and are hardly an entertaining team. In fact, I’ve just checked and only the Crusaders have less offloads than them in this league campaign.

Could that not be horses for courses though? They don't have many star players who stand out as individuals, a lot of those players came up with them and have stayed in the team.

IMO he was the man who should have got the job when Potter reluctanctly agreed to take it.

I could certainly see him fist pumping at the new Saints stadium after a rousing victory.

Josh Perry rumoured to be in discussions with us according to the Aussie media. I can't say I know who he is or how good he might be.

He is a prop though so it looks like whoever does recruitment at Saints is looking at the right areas.
