Touchy today Mr Parky

Director of player well being, WTF



Bit of extra spice now when we play Widnes in the coaching department not that we need it!!!

Nothing happening on your forum, yet again.
Even "Tumbleweed" has made more mosts posts, with the Viqueen a close 2nd.

We can remember the last time that Betts had a job in RL, that's reason enough.

widnes remains the wiganers retirement home

No idea because like most on this board I do not give a monkeys about Pie results or think any Pie is remotely concerned about sanity.


When this appointment was confirmed I understand Cullen said' "talking from the rear without going forward just about sums up why I have had this position handed to me by a very rich man who had his head examined last week and would not believe the pyschiatrists resultant diagnosis."

Your turn again ?



Oh and then he added'"we are the pride of Mersyeside just outside of Warrington" He will be a star for your side imo but to be fair who is the best player at Widnes ?

Oh has TKL.s broken toe nail responded to treatment?

When you have someone on a big contract and do not want to risk an unfair dismissal claim best to promote that person to a job which is even more challenging than the last one he could not do.

You know it makes sense we want to be scousers ?

Erm... Exactly my point

It's like a pauper laughing at a millionaire because the gravel in his drive clashes with his Ferrari.

This thread is incredibly sad. I wont be sticking up for leigh ever again that's for sure.

Chris, can you not see its banter?

To be honest, I can't remember a time when you did stick up for Leigh, Chris, or is my memory fading now I'm in my 30s?

Some of our Viking friends seem very defensive.

Anyway best of luck to Betts, he's going to need it with the weight of expectation on him. I still reckon Widnes need to win something this year for their own credibility and that of the three competitions outside SL.

No doubt I'll be seeing a few Widnes games next season to check on their progress.

Does this entitle RL writers to now trot out the cliches like "All Betts off for Widnes in SL Bid"?

Seems a strange move in some quarters, the guy hasn't coached RL in 5 years. I wonder if the movement of Cullen upstairs is more like what Leigh did with Neil Kelly in 2009?

this thread is embarrassing, some leigh fans need to get a life

TO be honest I dont care who their coach is. Im a bit surprised at it being Betts, I thought they would have got someone with mpore experiance, knowing their in SL in just over 12 months, then again he could be just filling in till the Aussie coach arrives.

Neither do I but...............................................




its still good to laugh

It's quite funny really... Trying to say Millward did a better job then Betts at Wigan is a personal highlight of mine!

He did do a better job was unfortunate he wasn't allowed to finish it off and get them relegated

make it your signature then.

Well this is true

I'm fairly certain that if Leigh appointed Betts, there's be Widnes fans saying lets all laugh at leigh.

As for the difference between Millward and Betts, while Millward didn't do a good job at wigan, he has been successful elsewhere. Betts is still unproven and has been out of the game for a long time.

And there's your key, he's unproven so let's see how it goes... laughing at the appointment only set's you for a fall full stop. I mean the messiah took you too the dizzy heights of 3rd but still feel is a top appointment, it's all about time and what's best for what club at the time!

you lot should know the amount of times we keep putting you in your place

it does seem to be a rather strange choice but then again Widnes are a rather strange team and their fans even stranger

We don't pay too much attention to what goes on below us in the table tbh!

Yep, you do just need to see how it goes. I still reckon there would have been some widnes fans having a dig if we'd appointed him.

As for the "dizzy heights of 3rd" I reckon a lot of Leythers would've taken that before the season started.

Thats why you are always on the boards of the teams above you then, always wondered

'Dizzy heights of third'
'We don't pay much attention of teams below us'

Just remind us in what position Widnes finished last year?

Go and troll back on the fax board your a waste of space.
