Anybody watching?

Cullen did an [iawfully[/i good job of deflecting the Widnes question. The man should have been a politician!

I was expecting a thread this evening questioning why he was currently out of a job, as based upon his analysis of the matches on the show, he clearly has a great tactical Rugby brain. Like Tony Rea last season.

Listening to him tonight I think if Widnes offered him the job he wouldn't turn it down.

I noticed he also had a dig at our fitness levels and the talk of our "so called tough pre-season training".

what fitness levels....i`m fitter than that lot,from what i seen on friday night

Cullen is a nutter, he thought Wigan missed Mathers he clearly has not done his research.

they missed him if you consider Amos Roberts looked like a blind man playing rugby

Now, now, let's be a bit realistic. You ask for people not to jump on your back everytime you post, yet you post something like this.

What he said was that we had had arguably one of the toughest pre-season training. One of the first things I did when Cullen said anything negative about Wire was to give a little wry laugh and raise an eyebrow. Then I realised he was actually spot-on in much of what he said and I only reacted like that because it was Cullen. At the end of the day if it had been Tony Rea that had said that I wouldn't have batted an eyelid, I would have just took it as a sports pundit commenting on the game.

Cullen now will always have to neutrally comment on every game as he is not the coach anymore, which means saying good and bad things about any club inclluding Warrington. It doesn't neccessarily mean he's having a dig.

Your possibly correct, maybe he wasn't having a dig, because it was Cullen I did think straight off that he was maybe a little bitter. As you say though he does need to comment on all aspects and had it been someone else I daresay like you I wouldn't have raised an eyebrow.

Have you not noticed the people that criticise others are usually the worst culprits....

Cullen "Warrington lost as they only tackled in pairs whilst Saints gang tackled." Quickly followed by "The reason Catalans got hammered was they had too many men in the tackle & left themselves exposed".

The world & his wife "Wire got beat by giving daft penalties away in their own 30 to a team that runs whiote hot from that position. followed by " Catalans have a new coach and not one jot of pre-season match practice".

what did he mean when he said "our legs fell off"

The world and his wife are not professional coaches though, or professional pundits.

I found Cullens analysis interesting and he communicates it well to the audience with a non-coaching background. I like pundits who spend time giving detailed analysis because it makes the watching public more educated about the game. Boots N All will definitely be a show to watch this year if he's on it every week.
