To be fair, I thought he was one that came out with any credibility tonight. He certainly looked better than the last two games.

Does anyone actually think Cullen would be an even vaguely good idea?

It would be like Warrington in 18 months time looking to replace Jimmy with McNamara on the basis that Jimmy has had two years of failure and McNamara is now unemployed and has recent experience of coaching in SL, conveniently overlooking the fact that McNamara, like Cullen, is only unemployed because he's got a solid gold proven track record of not being good enough.

Cullen would be a massive, massive, gigantically huge sign of a club that was no longer concerned with progressing.

He did, but I stand by my original comment in that he is well and truely mickey poor and still seems to have a lack of interest in returning the ball.

Cullen would be no better than McNamara IMO.

One thing I don't understand is, why didnt McNamara tell the Burgess, Scruton, Worrincy etc. to run at Sam Tomkins. Teams do it to Deacon, why not capitalise on a players size?

They did. But our passing and plays are so slow Wigan were always able to give him help on the inside we could never isolate him one on one.

I disagree people seem to forget about the good job he did in his early years.IMO he started to struggle when the club started to sign big name players.

Oh, i didn't see it that often that's all. Btw red, Feka was a bit more dangerous than you and I predicted, must have put a couple of stone on.

I get the impression, the more I read my posts that I'm talking with my blinkers on.

I'd be much more excited if McDermott ended up coming to the club though

Well, that was pants . . . . .

Regardless of tonights injuries we were already well on the way to a loss when they arrived, IMHO, anyway.

Seemed like there was a more or less total lack of interest / motivation / urgency / game plan throughout the team.

Oh, what I'd give to have had 16 more players with some of the attributes that Morrison's displayed tonight . . . . . we probably wouldn't have won anyway, but at least we'd have tried

So he's a good coach as long as the players aren't sufficiently good. Hmmm....
