rlWhat a difference a year makesrl

Should have gone/been sacked at the end of the previous season

Shame it took them so long...

cull goes and in comes lowes...what a great move that turned out to be

World class appointment acording to uncle Doug

Should of never been manager in the first place, you can never appoint a manager that has a link to the club

Let's not rewrite history.

Cullen was a positive chapter in the club's history. We were an absolute shambles when he took over and the team he inherited was the poorest I've ever seen. (And trust me that takes some doing.) From there he took us to the play offs in the next season - that Wigan game being one of the most memorable moments for many a season up to that point.

Over his tenure we on the whole played exciting rugby and had some highs such as the Leeds game in the play offs and many others. He just couldn't take us that extra step to consistent and sustained success.

Most managerial careers end in failure but on the whole I wouldn't tag Cullen a failure - he just couldn't match up to the high expectations. The fact we had them in the first place is testament to the job he did.

I always thought that PC should have appointed an experienced No 2 (eg., Kear, McRae) to bounce ideas off.

Although, we did have more good times than bad under Cull - sad that people only remember his failings.

Had he not been appointed we would have been in what was then NL 1, and we may not have got back into SL.

Not true.

Why?

Yeah and the big sit down protest

What he did was hardly an extraordinary feat and who's to say we wouldn't have done better with [ianyone[/i else?

Roughly same win/loss ratio as Plange, so the same could be said of him too?

Remember Plange contributed 8 pts during his tenure, PC 4 pts, Anderson 2 pts.
