correct chioce in my view

surely their first chioce should have been cullen to begin with
anyway brilliant news onwards and upwards now then
well maybe not it is widnes after all

After watching Widnes since 1969,i have seen all the glory years,watched them in the dark days of not getting in the Murdoch league first time around,Canal Street,losing two grand finals,going bust,and the darkest day of all,welcoming a failed born and bred w**e coach to be boss of our ONCE great club.My god a dark day for our club.We have one more stab at getting back into the big time and we have put our trust in a failed w**e.

Here we go.....

We put our trust in a former NZ coach--where did that get us?

We put our trust in a man who guided Wigan to the WCC--where did that get us??

We put our trust in a man who had reached 2 lower league GF's--where did that get us?

Dont know who you were expecting but give Paul Cullen a chance.

Not wholly overjoyed to be honest. Not because he's a Wire but because of his record at Wire. Wire's problems however may well go beyond Cullen and the only thing we can do is welcome him and give him a chance. I still remain to be convinced that this side and our new coach will perform as anticipated.

So were does it say that we all have to sing from the same sheet? It's my opinion,and it's a case of thanks but no thanks.

If it wasn't for Cullen Wire would still be a mid to bottom table side. He turned them around into a top 6 side. Likes to play expansive rugby and with the players we have im more than pleased with his appointment.
