Just one observation from tonights dreadful game.

As we were so bored in the second half my mate and me counted the seconds on each tackle. When we tackled Widnes from the player hitting the floor to the play of the ball it was mostly around 3 seconds. When Widnes tackled us, the same period was 5 seconds.

This is obviously coached into the players to do, and as long as the referee allows them to do this they will continue to do it, that doesnt bother me, what bothers me is that we dont seem to be smart enough to do the same.

As Cullen says....... Knees and Elbows.


I am sure we will play Widnes again this year and we will have the opportunity to set the record straight.

Cullen has just got more money at his disposal. They were poor....5 super league loan players later then they win the NRC with them. Calland has done it the hard way.

Not sure why you are quoting that Cullen has more money at his disposal, we all have to operate within the salary cap..
I think Cullen has built a solid team and is getting some good performances. Tonights game was about a disciplined steady performance, difficult to pick a Widnes man of the match but a great team effort.
Something is clearly lacking at the moment at Fax, the rugby you have played for the first half of the season was great to watch, but sadly lacking tonight.

No. it was 4 , tonight it was 3 Penny Pickersgill and Grayshon.

All Calland has done so far is start the season like a house on fire , make smart comments about how much better Fax are than the rest and sit back and think he's the bees knees . In the first 3 games between us there was not much to choose between the teams , tonight you were poor . The best team won .

What an amazing assessment. If we're poor then there's no hope for you.

I didnt want to say it , I wanted to be respectful towards you, but yes mate tonight it was just too easy

You sad trolls really cant take a joke, just go back to your own site. Probably all sat in the same room using the only computer in Widnes!

Whats up? Did you lose?

That's right, I've just kicked the Vicar of the stool to make this post. Sorry Vicar.

Off the stool

If you can get your team up and win games that matter and have the tick in the box for superleague at this stage of the season.

I would say that its a job done on what you need to do and the rest is just a case of going out and putting other teams that think they are better than you to the sword.

Under cullen we have spanked halifax barrow and fev in the last couple of months when it matters.

Would you rather be sat joint top of the league tonight and have that tick in the superleague spot or have a couple of games in hand against the team that as took you to the cleaners tonight and knowing that sometime you will have to play them again to get anything out of this season.

cometh the moment commeth the man.


cullen is the best coach in this league.
