I perticuly(sp) like the fact he took a bung from the pies and then signed a new contract at Saints and when they asked for the 2k back he said no.

Think he was referring to Paul Sculthorpe, who is now a member of the SKY team but, at time, was still playing for Stains so could have influences the result. However I believe Longy's book says that Scully wanted to place a bet but didn't actually do so. It does say several other Saints AND Bradford players did, but doesn't name them.


Is it actually against any rules? Hugely immoral and not in the spirit, or interests, of the game but I suspect they may have found a loophole rather than breaking rules (not that they're adverse to rule breaking of course?!)

Neither did Sean Long influence the game against Bradford. Only Gleeson played in it.



The whole point is that staff at Sky took a dim view of the matter when they had also betted on the game using inside information.

Don't remeber the words "guess" or "guessed" used when I heard the interview. But hay ho I dont really care about the whole story.
