I for one, hope he does well for you guys, after playing all my rugby in widnes, and being a loyal Wire fan since i can remember, i have a silent interest in hoping you guys get back to SL. We want our derbys back! Cull will do well for you, and as has been said, he is an excellent PR man, which is always a good thing. Have faith guys, SL beckons....

Who do/did you play for?

He will want to prove that we wrong to get rid and will have a bit of a chip on his shoulder, I think he will be more focused and he has some good talent to work with at Widnes and players he knows, he has a club with a great tradition and good fanbase, if he get's it right you will grow to love him, I understand why some of you have your doubts though.

I have read some crap in my time but never as much as this

"Well it's taken me quite a while to be able to put my thoughts together to reply to this thread.

To say I am disappointed with this appointment is a vast understatement.

I have supported Widnes RLFC with a passion for 40+years, even being lucky enough to put on a shirt in the days of the Colts, but I am just not prepared to pretend that I agree with Cullen's appointment and I will not be attending any games while he is in charge. He is a Warrington lad who both played for his hometown and coached them with a passion and I have absolutely no gripe with that, because that is what RL is all about. I do however sit here in absolute disbelief that people who have come on this board over previous months and years mars-barring him off for this passion for Wire can now merrily type about their feelings of joy that he has decided to join our little team.

Paul Cullen is wire through and through and he can talk about getting us into SL where we belong for as long as he likes, but in the same way as you or I can never support our nearest rivals it would be impossible for PC to genuinely switch allegiance to Widnes.

I wish both Paul and Widnes RLFC all the luck in the world and I will be absolutely over the moon if the SL goal is achieved, but I will travel up to the game on Thursday with a feeling of sadness, knowing that this will be my last game for a long time".


Everyone has an opinion but saying your not bothering going again just because Paul's in charge is a joke


Good riddance, 40 years my ar*e, we dont half have some idiotic fans.

I might have said some reactionary sh*te in my time, Widnes are important to both me and the town I live in so I admit that, but that's a disgrace.

Does he honestly think Cullen is not going to try his best at this club because of some mostly friendly rivalry? I think both of us have bigger enemies at the moment, and I am sure Paul is the ultimate professional. Whether he is right for the job or not remains to be seen, but we should all get behind him and give him the support any widnes coach deserves.

DOES any of these lovin retards not realise the job cullen did with warrington when taking warrington from 11th to top 6 every season SO WHAT if he never won anythin has Justin Morgan won anythin NO.. and i would say is he has done a fantastic job with them, same senario with cullen albeit big club and ended up having cash threw at him. When you have teams like LEEDS and SAINTS in a division you tend not to win much. Oh il bet also when cullen tactically masterminded that win over leeds in the play offs ( briers drop ) goal, il bet everyone thought " i remember when WIDNES used to do that", so in theory stop all being sad idiots and trying to find fault because your life is sad and has nothing in it.

IF your reading paul ( not that i think you would ) These minority are complete s h i t heads who would rather sit there and watch us fail rather than embrace change! GOOD LUCK

Makes you wonder why they have bothered so far with the likes of Toa and Gaskell in the squad. Good riddance I say
