I was surprised and slightly underwhelmed when we came in for him. Obviously Mouse must have seen something in him at Oxford that has by passed the majority of us.
As for Scully, I’d never heard of him before he signed so other than the over hyped publicity blurbs ( IMO), about him , I no nothing.
I really hope I’m very wrong but it would appear that the most obvious of last seasons failings have yet to be corrected.
Yes. like you I was also completely underwhelmed when I saw that we were after him. He had a decent career at Crusaders in NI but since 2018 has managed 135 appearances in mainly Div 1 & the Championship (30 appearances). At 27 he should be at the top of his career - makes you wonder what Hughes & Mousinho saw in him that other coaches didn't -he appears to have spent the early part of last season sitting on the bench to then disappear off the scene completely.
