Blaine Scully Retires
Blaine Scully has announced that he has retired from professional rugby, Personally I think he was one of our greatest pickups of the last decade, I remember him playing for us at the Prem 7's and hoping we'd sign him up permanently and was over the moon when we did, just wish he'd stayed a bit longer. Hopefully he finds a role within US rugby as he is just the kind of guy they need to help grow the game.

Absolutely - was a really talented guy. Such a shame he's had to call time on his career.kpj tiger wrote: ↑Tue Mar 10, 2020 4:17 pm Blaine Scully has announced that he has retired from professional rugby, Personally I think he was one of our greatest pickups of the last decade, I remember him playing for us at the Prem 7's and hoping we'd sign him up permanently and was over the moon when we did, just wish he'd stayed a bit longer.

Me too. At times the one player up for it and chasing any kick or loose ball.
Leicester Tigers 1995-
Nottingham 1995-2000
Swansea (Whites) 1988-95
A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.

Re: Blaine Scully Retires
Good luck to him - a fine player - and yes lets hope he helps bring the game on in the US.
Re: Blaine Scully Retires
Agree with all the comments. Super player to watch, always up for it and could sprint, making what might have been a hopeless cause look pretty good. I liked his line out throw ins in the 7s as well! Good luck for your future, Blaine.
Re: Blaine Scully Retires
Very good player,perhaps a contradictory statement but he was the best defensive winger I think I've ever seen,cant ever recall him being beat if I'm honest. Good luck Blaine!

Re: Blaine Scully Retires
Always thought he was a bit underrated and wished he'd stayed at Tigers longer. Good luck to him
