Quote: Wensleydale Viking "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.'"
Cullen has also left wires with a pretty good legacy, the brand of rugby we play was inspired by Cullen. We may not have been successful in terms of trophy wins, but We were good to watch, and considering saints fans recently have won nothing and have bitched about their style of play thats not a bad thing.
Cullen also demanded the HJ pitch should be the maximum dimensions which would obviously help when we go to places like Wembley...
unlike his predecessors Cullen Left behind Good things, Van de velde, Anderson and even Johnson towards the end left some pretty awful messes.
Tony smith would never have come to Warrington on the back of Steve Anderson/David plange's reign, with us in or near the relegation zone. So fair play to Cullen, he'll never get credit at Warrington because of what Smithy has since taken us on to.
Millward and Noble couldnt win anything in charge of the mighty Wigan and they filled their boots at their other clubs...
Cullen certainly deserves a season in Superleague in charge Of widnes.....who would you rather have in charge for the Wire widnes Derby ?
