Quote: "Is it true they've appointed the interpreter who came with the Russian team as Cullens' second in command? '"

Quote: Wembley71 "Cullen took over when they were bottom in May 2002. They finished 2 places off that year, then their record readsAdrian Morley, Paul Johnson, and Vinnie Anderson. They've had a multimillionaire backer and a state of the art ground built at Tesco's expense, and have won only one playoff game, never made a semi, let alone a final, not been to Wembley or equivalent since 1990, and only once in 7 years finished in the top five.

Warrington are generally regarded as the great under-achievers of the current era, with Cullen at the helm for longer than any other SL coach yet unable to progress the club further by year seven than he had by the end of year one.

Moreover, my mates at Warrington tell me the coaching staff were extremely divided on his split pivots approach, and that the problems of the club came from certain celebrated senior players and the drinking culture they backed, which the coaching staff were unwilling to bring out in the open for fear of losing the public and, in Cullen's case, the exceptionally lucrative salary he was on.

Cullen is a decent NL1 coach and a decent bloke, but with neither the competence or courage to turn a talented disparate bunch of players into a competitive SL trophy-chasing sides. He might do ok at Widnes, as he did at Whitehaven, but I'd take Kelly (or Tersis or Abram or Benson) over him any day. He's your Darren Shaw. Good luck with that.'"


You do realise that Joey Johns and Andrew Johns are one in the same , I hope, but I guess being a Leigh fan could hinder your knowledge of RL.

Roll on Good Friday.

Typo. Roll on Good Friday indeed, though a sanctimonious man of the cloth like you should be "tending" your flock.

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg

from Whitehaven to Elland Rd could only be Leigh RLFC:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40700.gif



Quote: -VIKINGMAN- "How many of the mentioned players were actually his signings? When he took over Warrington they needed re-building which probably took a good number of years until they had a side which could challenge for the top 6. His method of coaching provided them with an attacking style (he expanded the Haliwell Jones to the maximum to enable this), using pivots either side was his way and it did seem to work particulary with Briers. Andrew Johns was a Simon Moran signing and only lasted 3 games. They in many ways like us have lacked a real quality 7 to get them where they want to be and have lacked key personel in certain other positions. Perhaps in his last year he did underachieve but since he has left Warrington look to have got far worse. A drinking culture is a tough one to deal with if so many are at it, I know for a fact that he tried to clamp down on this by visiting various estalishments in Warrington telling them not to serve the players but what can you do? you cant sack half the team.


Will his first visit in chemic land be to the club bar.Here last months valentines night went with a bang,wags included.Very classy.


The decision to appoint Cullen was also not just made by our chairman, he seeked outside advice and spoke to a number of high profie figures in the game and all advised Cullen. Even players he released years back wanted him (Gaskell, Kohe Love, Varkulis). He also has a key media prescense which helps us greatly in keeping our name in the loop. You might be right in what you say and i respect your opinion, but i have faith in him from what i have seen and heard and he gets my backing. If he can get us to super league and into the play offs then he will do for me. We need someone to get us out of this Division and we believe in just over 2 years time this will be Cullen.'"
