Probably not actually. Joking aside - he always seemed a very astute player - sharp as a pin. I think he can do well as a coach - given more experience.

Good win for Leigh all the chemics big money signings looked second rate Webster looked class the 1st half but went missing again when the game got physical.Think Cullen is no better than S.Macormack.

i think leigh looked a good well organised side this week.
widnes were poor as well though.

Varks seems to have gone backwards. He looks to lack pace & didnt want to use his strength to break a tackle.

The whole widnes team seems to be struggling though. No confidence or anything. They need to start putting it right soon. They've already played three more games then Toulouse in 7th and only five points clear of them.

It would be a real shock if they miss the playoffs, but the way they're playing it could happen. The need a major shake up from cullen. Either bang some heads together or get new blood, but something has to change.

Sad news at widnes i get rid of half the team next year.Doran a penalty machine and knocks on too much.Simm,thompson not big enough and not punch holes as too slow.No decent centres and thackeray on the wing?Makes me laugh how thackeray never plays alongside webbo.Duffy too fat and slow.Widnes fans are really vexed off and we know we are poop.

Being a full time pro hasnt had the desired effect!

Ive always thought Duffy was a scrum half, not a stand off. He used to boss things at Haven & now has to play 2nd fiddle to Webster.

Varks looked great until someone came in to tackle him! Widnes will be playing better by the end of the season - they have too many good players on their books not to.

Our game against Barrow is key - win that one and there's no stopping us (until we get to the one-off games in the playoffs). Remember, 3 points different in the game up in Cumbria, and they'd be the ones on 100% with us chasing their tails...

Having a laugh mate the players are overrated if want to show good enough the show it and win games.
