Or so say the Daily Post

http://www.liverpooldailypost.co.uk/spo ... -22943082/

Not sure but I suspect this is more lazy journalism with the story mostly coming from messageboards.

I would not be unhappy with this appointment if it happened. He certainly had Warrington throwing the ball around.

The past is the past...

Correct, he's a proven super league coach who likes expansive rugby, did a very good job for Haven and progressed Warrington well before in many peoples eyes taking them as far as he could.


A good option for the job IMO, i dont care if he's a wire, if he wants to do it and is fully commited then he gets my vote.






Love a brew.

What has he proven?. If you give him a full salary cap and sign top players he serially under performs?

His Tv analysis is just waffle + cliches.

I like Widnes and would like to see you in SL next time round. There are many coaches better than Cullen.

Agreed.

That story is just based on reading message boards.

Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back!

Oooh-to… Oooh-to-be… Oooh-to-be-a… WOOLY!

This is history. This is history. Right here. Right now. This is history.

I thought it was Widnes?

[quote="BIGAL1"]All games are winnable, whats hard to understand about that.

Wakefield turn over a big club every season and i see no reason why Widnes can't do the same.[/quote]

Looks like they may be giving Stanky a chance?

O'Connor added "We've sat down with John and talked about where we're going and he's excited about the challenge ahead.”

I'm sure there are, but are they available and will they come to a club that is going to be languishing in the Championship for the next three years at least
In terms of the underachieving, at the moment I am not really bothered about overthrowing Leeds or Saints to win SL. I want a coach who is capable of winning enough games to get us the GF appearance or NR win that we need and someone who is not afraid of letting his team throw the ball about.
I think Cullen can tick both boxes. For now it's rumour and speculation but I wouldn't be unhappy if it turned out to be true.

Cullen has consitently proved he cannot do this with a top squad of players. If you just want the ball 'throwing around' appoint a basketball coach.
