Cullen - Boots n All : Wed Feb 18, 2009 8:27 pm  

At Warrington the guy got on my nerves.

Having just watched Boots n All and his expert analysis I must admit to been quite impressed with the way he explained through the certain plays from Rd1.

He really got my nerves too. Missed Boots n All tonight. I'll watch a replay during the week.

He does sound like a walking coaching manual at times, "Defenders A, B and C are all on the short side", or some such. His words should have accompanying diagrams.
Good analysis mind but he does make me chuckle at times.

A mutch better player than Cullen said to me last year that Cullen spoke crap when he played but Cullen talks more crap now he coaches i got the feeling this ex GB player did not rate Cullen.

Was always impressed with Tony Rea's analysis in the same slot last season and Cullen seemed to pick up the baton competently enough.

I'd quite like a bit more time devoted to that sort of analysis rather than the inane drivel spouted by Stevo et al.

He started off a bit as you say coaching manual style until Eddie asked him to repeat in laymans terms.

After that he preached some interesting stuff.

Just watched it and it was a pretty good analysis. I wonder if it's because he had more time to pick things out and think about how he was going to explain them rather than having to come up with analysis on the spot? Either way, it's by far the best thing he's done on Sky's coverage. Hopefully it'll continue.

I enjoyed Cullen's analysis and this bodes well for a good year on Boots N All

well they're not going to sit there and agree are they? bite the hand that feeds and all that. eddie's job is to make sure everyone knows just how super super league really is and how every game is the best yet.
