Have you not noticed the people that criticise others are usually the worst culprits....

Cullen "Warrington lost as they only tackled in pairs whilst Saints gang tackled." Quickly followed by "The reason Catalans got hammered was they had too many men in the tackle & left themselves exposed".

The world & his wife "Wire got beat by giving daft penalties away in their own 30 to a team that runs whiote hot from that position. followed by " Catalans have a new coach and not one jot of pre-season match practice".

Cullen is a nutter, he thought Wigan missed Mathers he clearly has not done his research.

You lot were calling poor Richie Mathers a hero last year when he smacked King round the head..

The world and his wife are not professional coaches though, or professional pundits.

I found Cullens analysis interesting and he communicates it well to the audience with a non-coaching background. I like pundits who spend time giving detailed analysis because it makes the watching public more educated about the game. Boots N All will definitely be a show to watch this year if he's on it every week.

Bring back King Cullen, all is forgiven.

I did notice that Paul Cullen never mentioned or gave any praise to Chris Riley for his very good performance at full back, i wonder why

Because if he sat and praised every player from every team that played well he'd take up the entire hour.
The Wire Saints game was on telly so had enough post-match chat and discussion. If you noticed not a whole lot was said about our game in general.

All he had to say was "The positives for Warrington were Chris Riley at full back and the debuts of Micky Higham and Gareth Carvell", how long does that take ?

To me he didn`t mention Chris Riley simply because he never gave Chris the chance at full back himself while he was coach which is even more alarming when we had plenty of full back problems at the time, it would have been nice for Eddie to ask a telling question for once like "Paul, i`m suprised you never gave Chris Riley the chance at full back based on that performance".

Yep let's use Boots'n'All as an interrogation tool against Paul Cullen and his coaching skills. I'm sure that's interesting for everyone who's not a Wire
