Yep, Wire fan wrote in saying surely you can go to out nearest Neighbours to which he replied the job deserves respect etc and he's free to do what he wants. Also had a big smile across his face, Barrie Mac also bigged us up and Steve O'connor.


Cullen is 100% interested.

Sorry but no matter how you wrap it up,he is a born and bred w*re.Once one always one,and no matter what anyone else tells me about him been such a wonderful person etc.. He is a w*re end of.Oh yeah and he is a shi*e coach who plays crap rugby etc..

Come on mate, he's a proffesional who coached an attacking style of play at Warrington. You seem to just hate everything Warrington which is clouding your judgement

he did a very good job at Haven and ventured out of his comfort zone.

He would be a decent choice for us.

Attacking style of play at w*re

When?.My judgement is crystal clear when it comes to w*re,No Thanks,Not Welcome Here. Who we give the job to god knows. If possible i would hope for maybe an oversea unknown.Someone like a Millward who the tramps brought over a while back.

Keep it british man!

Joking apart,if we get it wrong this time then it really will be curtains.

And I cannot see Cullen getting it right. How many chances did he have at Wire and how often did he underachieve? We'd surely be replacing like for like?

Yeah i agree,that w*re bloke had plenty of dosh to spend and still won sod all

He only had the same as everybody else.

Steve McCormack also did a sterling job at Whitehaven, it didn't get him far. We should go all out to get Jon Sharp here in my opinion, even if he hasn't sent a CV.

I've heard an interesting rumour about someone who's put his name in.

Come on then spill the beans Chris.

I prefer to remain mysterious.

Oh come on, pretty please (a PM would be nice chris)

Regardless of his coaching ability you wouldn't have him here just because he coached Warrington? That's a little petty to say the least.

Millward was a great capture for Leigh, but who was to know he was going to go on to be such a good coach? It's a bit of a gamble when there are several proven coaches applying for the job.

CULLEN= GOOD COACH, GOOD PLAYER MANAGEMENT SKILLS.. (who else could get a hole like briers to click week in week out)
GOOD STYLE OF RUGBY PLAYED ( lets half backs win the game for you instead of down the middle- how many 1 pointers did wire win by over the years and who kicked them.. )
HONEST AND SHOWS EMOTION

CULLEN = HAD ALOT OF CASH AT WIRE ( brought some big names and never delivered )
HE IS WIRE ( shoot him for that )

can anyone add.. i cant really think of alot to say no i really really hope we appoint him he did a fantastic job at wire . He dragged them from the depths of SL and made them into a top 6 club. Bare in mind how class saints were during his reign how can you win anything with them playing like they did, also i remember wire beating LEEDS in an SL playoff with Lee Briers drop goal SURLEY a S hit coach couldnt beat LEEDS with a team could he.

COME TO THE VIKINGS PAUL GET US INTO THE PROMISE LAND!!

They way i see Cullen is as follows.


He took over at wire when they were pretty shocking and looked relegation fodder, he guided them to safety and they stayed up. He then made them into a mid table team gradually building the team to his own liking. A couple of years later and after investment from mr Moran he turned them into a top six side and they featured regulary in the play offs.

He coaches with passion and heart and clearly has a vision of expansive rugby. He also can win big games, they have beaten Wigan plenty of times over the years and also secured victory over the likes of Leeds etc. Saints they however couldnt get over but often lost in the last second often by a piece of magic from Sean Long which is hardly his fault.


He wants to coach and has the right kind of attitude to bring a good style of rugby to Widnes IMO. He's a wire but so what that doesnt bother me in the slightest.


People will question his Warrington side should have done more but overall i see his reign at Warrington as a reasonable success given what he started with. His media prescense would also be a bonus.

I think that's a very decent summary VM...

At the moment I am not too fussed with Cullen having to break the Leeds and St Helens stranglehold at the top of SL.. We can worry about that later. The job at hand is to win the necessary games in this division and to provide some entertainment while doing it.

Also.. I'll take a PM of that rumour Chris, if your doing them. Obviously it goes no further.. scouts honour and all that.

Cullen for me..
We have a very short term goal which is to win either the Northern Rail cup or a grand final in the next couple of seasons. These are requirements to be considered for the next intake of SL.

Could he take us there.... yes he could.

Cullen for me, has SL experience and turned Warrington around from a relegation side to a top 6 side like VM said. Clearly interested last night i thought and he qouted "Teams like Widnes need to be respected" so he must think highly of the club and our setup we have.

Right man for the job. We have the team in place to play some great expansive rugby and with Cullen i think this will be achieved.

You just don't do things like that,Chris.

Still say crompton

Ian Millward is interested in the position.

Where's this come from VM?
