Anybody watching?

Cullen did an awfully good job of deflecting the Widnes question. The man should have been a politician!

I was expecting a thread this evening questioning why he was currently out of a job, as based upon his analysis of the matches on the show, he clearly has a great tactical Rugby brain. Like Tony Rea last season.

Listening to him tonight I think if Widnes offered him the job he wouldn't turn it down.

I noticed he also had a dig at our fitness levels and the talk of our "so called tough pre-season training".

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

they missed him if you consider Amos Roberts looked like a blind man playing rugby

If you watched, and listened, and concentrated, and used that funny thing that the skull protects, you'd have realised that Amos Roberts is even more innefective than Mathers at FB. Though Mathers couldn't tackle a hot dinner, he presumably communcates very well with the defensive line and offers a bit more than Robers at Full Back.

Now, now, let's be a bit realistic. You ask for people not to jump on your back everytime you post, yet you post something like this.

What he said was that we had had arguably one of the toughest pre-season training. One of the first things I did when Cullen said anything negative about Wire was to give a little wry laugh and raise an eyebrow. Then I realised he was actually spot-on in much of what he said and I only reacted like that because it was Cullen. At the end of the day if it had been Tony Rea that had said that I wouldn't have batted an eyelid, I would have just took it as a sports pundit commenting on the game.

Cullen now will always have to neutrally comment on every game as he is not the coach anymore, which means saying good and bad things about any club inclluding Warrington. It doesn't neccessarily mean he's having a dig.

Your possibly correct, maybe he wasn't having a dig, because it was Cullen I did think straight off that he was maybe a little bitter. As you say though he does need to comment on all aspects and had it been someone else I daresay like you I wouldn't have raised an eyebrow.
