Also on Schofield's list of cross-code failures are David Young, Terry Holmes and Simon Irving. Va'aiga Tuigamala, Scott Gibbs and Scott Quinnell fair slightly but not much better in Schofield's estimations
Agree that John Gallagher was garbage, but other than that....what a bitter bitter man!!!!
From a bloke who won fek all (apart from a couple of dodgy Yarkshire Cups).
Sounds just a poor dig at rugby union players coming over to rugby league.
To suggest Inga was a failure is just plain stupid. Scott Quinnell was another great player as well.
Jonathan Davies and Billy Boston - I shall say no more.

Couldn`t agree more Alex the boke can bang his gums and slag off clubs and coaches, but instead of writing pointless articles why dosent he try get a coaching job if he thinks he is the big Iam about rugby league.

I remember queuing up at Headingley when we were playing Leeds in the 1980's.
It was a Saturday. The match was on BBC .
There was a big crowd, almost 20,000.
I was with my Dad.
To our right, in front of the steel gates, Schofield was signing autographs.
He was signing for so long, the security had to almost physically drag him in to get changed as 'kick off' time was nearing, they told him numerous times.
By contrast, at that time, Ellery Hanley would sign no supporters autograph books.
He played many times for GB.
The guy has earned his right to speak !
I have also seen Schofield behave Ludicrously in the most sensitive of situations 3 or 4 times.
The bloke is an idiot and within the profession he is ridiculed.
He like everyone else is entitled to his opinion, unfortunately for him he is wrong 99% of the time!
As for Scott Gibbs, he would Walk into the Current GB Team along with Dozens from that era.

We all have the right to speak. But most of us don't spout total gibberish all the time and expect to be taken seriously simply because of something we achieved twenty lifetimes ago.

Twiggy a crap RL player???????????
I am getting sick of this silly yorkie with a massive chip on his shoulder. Does he ever have a good word to say about anyone. I remember last year when Penny at Warrington had a few shockers and some of the comments in Scofields column were purely visceral and nasty. I don’t care how good a player he was.
For some reason I always think of scofield as the RL equivalent of Alan shearer, i.e. fantastic player who won flip all. I can’t think of anyone in our game with a bigger chip on his shoulder. I know he says that he “tells it like it is” but he has lost so much credibility with these constant outbursts that he has become a laughing stock that RL journo’s use him purely for sound bites.
Remember when he put his name in the frame for the GB job last year!!! Ha ha. Where did he get that idea from?? Need to shut his trap.
