Cullen on Boots n all : Wed Mar 18, 2009 9:56 pm  

Did anyone hear the bitter Wid on Boots n all tonight? Eddie H asked what advice would you give to Warrington? after the Quins defeat and The whopper replied something like "I have given Warrington all my advice" in a sly manner. Eddie didn't know what to say after the reply.

Why would we need advice of a coach who when he was here was basically a Failure

He does seem very bitter towards us and i don't know why. When he came here, he had the full backing of the fans, a brilliant and wealthy backer in Simon Moran and more time to achieve success than most oher coaches get. He failed, he knows it, and now he likes getting little digs at us as often as he can. I'm not anti-cullen, I gave him my full backing whilst he was in charge, but he wasn't up to the task of bringing success and finds himself back at a level where he will do a very good job.

I saw Boot's n All and i heard what Cullen said.....i took it as if he was saying he had told the club (board) what the issues within the club were...maybe which players are the bad apples etc (i assume at the time he was coaching)...he didn't come across as bitter at all.

His comments eluded to bigger issues at the club other than out of form players!

I don't think he came across as bitter at all, although I thought it was an extraordinary way to put it.

The reality is that Hemmings keeps asking him no win questions. If he backs off, as he did last night, he is accused of being bitter and making sly digs. If he offers his view, as he did on our defensive problems recently, he can (reasonably) be asked, if it's clear to him what the issues are, why didn't he sort them out when he was in charge.

In my view, he should have given a politician's answer: 'Well, they've got Tony Smith on board now and I'm sure that along with Jimmy Lowes and the rest of the coaching staff, they'll be working hard to rectify the problems and I'm sure they will'. Not great TV, and I'm sure he'll get lambasted for that too, but it's a sensible way forward until the distance between Cull and the current team is sufficiently large so he can say what he liked.
