Just catching up on Boots n All, I just can't but help like Paul Cullen more and more. Is it sentiment or does he just talk with passion? I'd give him this position rather than Basil.

The passion on that documentary someone posted as well, you can't help but like him and he's wire through and through. I think he'd be great in this role.

Bring back Cull, give him the youth role, you can see the love and passion he has for thr club, if that wouldn't inspire the kids to play for the first team nothing would.

Say no to Millward, BRING BACK CULL

I would bring Cullen back in a heartbeat and give him the youth role.

Ha ha ha. Remember the game versus Castleford. BOOOOO!!!!

I don't think anyone would suggest he's ever 1st team coach, i think hose bridges have been well and truly burned.

Whilst i will not ever support or defend any bellend or idiot that was abusing him after the game round the front of the stadium, i'd sit in after the game again tomorrow if I felt it right to do so, as i did that night.



you'd like to think there's been enough water under the bridge though now for some kind of reconciliation, its been nearly 6 years.


Besides, we should all look back on that season and question why we didn't get jimmy lowes ousted as our season slid to an end.

I can't believe those bloody interviews with skents were 5 years ago.

Debatable whether Lowes was our worst coach but he was definitely the one i've hated the most.

Very few coaches end their reigns at a club on a high. Some end worse than a low (no pun intended )Several end in an absolute shambles and disrespect flows in all directions. That said I would doubt if we could find a citizen of our wonderful town who loves this club and town more than Paul Cullen. I believe Cull would be good for the youngsters as said previously and i believe he would work well with TS. I am sure Cull has a good if not better relationship with Mr Moran.

Bring him home

I would have Cullen any day ahead of Millward. It comes down to whether Cullen would be happy to come back in a role that wasn't head coach. It might be hard for him to serve under another coach now.

As Cat says though it's been 5 years, lots of water has gone under the bridge, and I am sure he respects Tony Smith and the trophies he has put in the Wire cabinet.

The danger with bringing Cullen back in a role like youth coach is that the media would naturally go to Cullen for interviews, and he might end up being quoted more than Tony Smith, so it could feel odd for TS.

Cull was on the top table at Bennie's Q&A night some months ago and he was asked a question about him taking a vacant head coaches job again. He said that he didn't think he would go for or want another SL job again and was happy with his Sky commitments. I'd love to see him back at the HJ and I wouldn't thought Cull taking over the academy post would be a problem for TS. It's possible that he has ruled himself out already.

I wonder how being a youth coach compares with being a Sky pundit for pay, hours required etc.

Not saying Cullen would just think of the money but I bet media work is easier and better value as an hourly rate and it's not as though he's not done enough hard graft in his career. If he wants to stay as a media pundit why not? He's the best summariser / pundit in RL.

By some distance as well....

could he not keep his sky role and take on a position within a club?

Doesn't Barrie McDermott combine those exact roles at Leeds?

I think Brian Carney was the same for a while; working for us and Sky. I think Sky pays better

I'd not like to see Millward at our club. He's a "nice bloke"
