At 29? Far too young! Unless he's just got a few patch offers from Leigh, Oldham etc and isn't too interested... Or the Aus move could have a stem to it?

I know someone involved with the club and he told me nobel a few weeks ago.... he must have been wrong if they are making Betts the coach.

He’s relatively inexperienced and has been out of the game for 5 years. I’m not at all confident about our future with him in charge.

I’m loving gutted, if truth be told.

I agree that is not a good forward step for the Vikings, Not been in RL for 5 years and from what i am told is a total A-whole when it comes to people management.

Good luck, What has Happened to Terry O'conner if Cullen is going up ?.
