Is Cullen a better coach : Fri Jul 31, 2009 10:00 pm  
Just one observation from tonights dreadful game.

As we were so bored in the second half my mate and me counted the seconds on each tackle. When we tackled Widnes from the player hitting the floor to the play of the ball it was mostly around 3 seconds. When Widnes tackled us, the same period was 5 seconds.

This is obviously coached into the players to do, and as long as the referee allows them to do this they will continue to do it, that doesnt bother me, what bothers me is that we dont seem to be smart enough to do the same.

As Cullen says....... Knees and Elbows.


I am sure we will play Widnes again this year and we will have the opportunity to set the record straight.

Cullen has just got more money at his disposal. They were poor....5 super league loan players later then they win the NRC with them. Calland has done it the hard way.

Not sure why you are quoting that Cullen has more money at his disposal, we all have to operate within the salary cap..
I think Cullen has built a solid team and is getting some good performances. Tonights game was about a disciplined steady performance, difficult to pick a Widnes man of the match but a great team effort.
Something is clearly lacking at the moment at Fax, the rugby you have played for the first half of the season was great to watch, but sadly lacking tonight.

No. it was 4 , tonight it was 3 Penny Pickersgill and Grayshon.

All Calland has done so far is start the season like a house on fire , make smart comments about how much better Fax are than the rest and sit back and think he's the bees knees . In the first 3 games between us there was not much to choose between the teams , tonight you were poor . The best team won .

What an amazing assessment. If we're poor then there's no hope for you.

All Calland has done so far is win more games than any other coach in this division.

If Cullen was better than Calland he would still be in SL. Would take Calland over Cullen anyday. We are still top of the league with one of the smallest squads.
