How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

| well Crompton was a shoe in until he told Despot Des that he woulodnt want any help in picking or coaching the team then the interview went away from Crompton somewhat 
as for Schofield well he's been 'bleating' for the past 5 or so years about not getting a chance well the balls in his court now |

Can't see Garry Schofield succeeding. Reckon our league will be very tight this year though, on paper I can't see much between Leigh, Fax, Widnes and Fev.

Well he shouldn't complain about a shortage of cash or talent to work with as on paper he has some of the best players in this division.

When this appointment was confirmed I understand Cullen said' "talking from the rear without going forward just about sums up why I have had this position handed to me by a very rich man who had his head examined last week and would not believe the pyschiatrists resultant diagnosis."
Your turn again ? ![]()
Didn't really make much sense this Frank but wanted to pick you up on something. Widnes did not move Paul Cullen upstairs, Paul spoke to the club when he returned from compassionate leave to express his concern that he didn't want the pressure of coaching for the forseeable future after a very tough year. Widnes accepted this request but wanted to keep Paul at the club due to what he can offer.
For what it's worth, Widnes have employed a knowledgeable, English coach with alot of potential. Reports from Gloucester is that they didn't want to lose him, so I'm very pleased. Of course he's not won anything, he needs the chance first.

I posted that a few days ago and it was late at night. Was not meant to be taken seriously.  |

This is boring now, I guess Leigh without Thomas would be well as in an average place as you are now?
Best supported and biggest name in the division yet we are the ones at risk without a backer? Think it through for petes sake it's laughable!
No one will say we wouldn't be where we are now without SO'C but to act like Widnes would be in a mess whereas other clubs would be fine is just stupid! |

Great debate, excellent.
Which bit makes you laugh Nik? The part about Paul Cullen or the ignorance of people criticising Denis Betts when you have no idea of his coaching qualities or philiosophy? |

No lobbing here at all, I just like to hear opinions that's all rather than small comments with no real reason, as he did.
We appointed him because the people that interviewed him know his coaching qualities, not us. Simples.

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 |

Fair do's
Cullen talks bollox , Betts might turn out a decent coach , anybody who thinks Widnes made an actual ' trading ' profit of 1 million a year after making a million loss is a loon of the highest order
That is my opinion |
