How many of the mentioned players were actually his signings? When he took over Warrington they needed re-building which probably took a good number of years until they had a side which could challenge for the top 6. His method of coaching provided them with an attacking style (he expanded the Haliwell Jones to the maximum to enable this), using pivots either side was his way and it did seem to work particulary with Briers. Andrew Johns was a Simon Moran signing and only lasted 3 games. They in many ways like us have lacked a real quality 7 to get them where they want to be and have lacked key personel in certain other positions. Perhaps in his last year he did underachieve but since he has left Warrington look to have got far worse. A drinking culture is a tough one to deal with if so many are at it, I know for a fact that he tried to clamp down on this by visiting various estalishments in Warrington telling them not to serve the players but what can you do? you cant sack half the team.
Will his first visit in chemic land be to the club bar.Here last months valentines night went with a bang,wags included.Very classy.
The decision to appoint Cullen was also not just made by our chairman, he seeked outside advice and spoke to a number of high profie figures in the game and all advised Cullen. Even players he released years back wanted him (Gaskell, Kohe Love, Varkulis). He also has a key media prescense which helps us greatly in keeping our name in the loop. You might be right in what you say and i respect your opinion, but i have faith in him from what i have seen and heard and he gets my backing. If he can get us to super league and into the play offs then he will do for me. We need someone to get us out of this Division and we believe in just over 2 years time this will be Cullen.
