i agree we should have someone backing him up everytime he gets the ball- this was we will score more tried and win more games :)

ok we cough up possesion but if one of those go's right we get more yards or even a line break its what he is good at and what makes him out to be one of the most highly rated attacking props in the superleague. maybe not a ban but a few less???
True he needs to do a few less offloads but your taking part of his game away if you take away his offloads. When one of them come of and Dallas or Carney are on the end of them youll all be praising him.

would taking away his offloads not make the game easier for our opponents to plan against

It's not Scullys fault, he should be backed up. Don't think we'll sign Sonny Bill,but if we did, we'd have to ban him from offloading.

for me..when it comes off its good..
..but he does try it a bit too often in impossible situations
maybe if he did it less,it would be more of an element of surprise when he did do it?

It's not the suprise element of it, it's the fact that there are 2 or 3 less men in play because they'll be tackling Scully. If he's backed up on every play its a useful technique to use, except when you're defending a 15 point lead with ten minutes to do!
