| Is it coincidence that the Wire have stepped up 3 gears since Smith took over... We have gone backwards this year and whilst I was sitting on the fence about Cullen I am now firmly on the side which says not good enough. Why did they get shut of Smith, rumours it was a relationship issue with Cullen.
How long has Cullen got left on his contract...
Look at the job Noble has done at Crusaders with a late start and a poor team to begin with.. That is what a good coach can do, and without much money or superstars.
Thoughts please.

I think he means with all the CULLEN OUT, hes not good enough, we perform bad with him thread. I personally will wait until after next season to give my opinions on the matter given the horrible year Paul has had with his personal life. Lets get behind him and the club.

In Michael Witt and Jarrod Sammutt, Noble has bought one of the best half back pairings in SL. He's signed a load of Aussies, for a truckload of money, and sent alot of young Welsh lads to play for South Wales Scorpions. With the resources he's had compared to other SL clubs, Nobby should have been expected to get the Crusaders into the play offs.
I'm not saying Cullen has done a great job at Widnes this season, but to compare his and Widnes' resources with Nobles and the Crusaders is unfair.
Cullen has also played plenty of youngsters this year. Some haven't been upto it, but what has he had to lose in trying them out? And the likes of Danny craven have gained invaluable experience that will benefit Widnes during the next few years (if you keep him). Compare this attitude with Noble, who was ready to send Sam Tomkins out on loan because he had a better player in . . . Tim Smith!! It was only because Smith got injured that Sam got his chance in the 1st team.

Who, conversationally, have already made 8 or 9 additions to next seasons squad. Panicking or what!?

| I don't think there's a huge problem. We've given a lot of opportunities to young players in order to bring them on. I wasn't expecting any great on the field success this season, just laying the groundwork for if we get into Super League with regards to youngsters. Add into that what's happened in Paul Cullen's personal life this year; it was never going to be a good season.

| If it were not for a bit of unexpected recent form people would not be that shocked at losing to Barrow at their place. It's an annoyance that Smith was not given the send off he deserved and its annoying that we didn't give them a game or play to our potential but it's not a complete disaster. Plan A for Widnes was to win at the first opportunity and then build up for super league. Plan A is not only still very much alive it has never been closer.
Forget about this game. It could be worse.
Cullen has had a turbulent time recently, it is very unfair to start throwing mud on him now.

On thread drift:
[quote="tb":24qn1m99]Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.[/quote:24qn1m99]
Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”
[i:24qn1m99]There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back![/i:24qn1m99]

Worse than that, he's a halifax Town fan. He doesn't even like RL. Best ignored.

How about remembering where Wire were when PC took over? Heading for relegation.
