So it looks as though Thursday is the day for the new coach (word on the street), whoever it is I hope the fans back them and give them plenty of support. Cullen seems to be the favourite at the mo with Hanley and Woods also in the mix. Even Neil Kelly has supposed to have leaked his interest. No doubts the final 4 will be getting interviewed by the panel today and the next few days. Also there was meant to have been a total of 20 applicants!


Whatever the outcome lets get the place rocking for Thursday and give Toulouse a good kicking.

Heard from a decent source that Adrian Lam might have thrown his name into the ring and could very well be in contention for the post...

Hmmm good one that, he would work wonders with the Backs.


Experience though? i know he was PNG coach but has he done much previous in Australia?

Assistant coach at the Roosters.

It'll give him time to settle back over here before he takes over at our place next season

Doesnt Lammy like his porn videos?

Il be very surprised, if after all of the application process the new coach isnt Cullen !

I've heard, from someone who is very reliable, that it is definitely Paul Cullen. Someone has recently posted the same on the TIW board. As this ties up perfectly with what I've heard, I'd say it is a certainty.


Welcome to the right side of the towers Paul!

I just herd it was Cullen

That's a very peculiar remark to say the least.
Welcome to Widnes Paul.Congratulations and good luck.

He's known to be very 'hands on' when it comes to these sorts of things.

Intersesting, known the rumours for a while, but I couldn't do it. Warrington lad his whole life, as a player and a coach, then to go to Widnes. I couldn't do it. Good Luck Paul, would have you back in a shot.

Some Widnes fans are saying similar childish things as yourself,that they wouldn't have a former Wire in charge here.Thank god clubs are not run by supporters.

It's now official!

Once again,welcome to the Vikings Paul and all the best.Our local watering holes are the Bradley on Albert Rd,Crown on Birchfield Rd,Tavern on Upton Lane etc

Blast. I spent years ripping the urine out of that feller and how he talks and now I have to support him.

The excitabilitation in Widnes is giganterific.

Hold my hands up, at first I was dead against it for obvious reasons, however the more I think about the more I think it is a reasonable appointment. We'll throw the ball about a bit more and probably have a bit of a clearing out session. Oh and we may as well get them 'Briers' for Widnes gags going again.

'Wash yer mouth out son'

I can almost guarantee Briers will be with us next year if he doesnt sign a new wire deal.

Mike Cooper (prop) is also likely to come on loan

Hope he does well with you guys. Big fan of Cullen when he was our manager. He had his time with us, but he certainly left us in better shape than when he came, and he always wanted his team playing good exciting attacking rugby.

Good Luck to him and you for the rest of the year.

Good luck lads, see you in Superleague where you should be.

A great appointment - Super League pedigree despite what his knockers say (oooo'er missus). You've got to be happy with that. He's a thinking man's coach and so long as he can get his message across you'll be all the more stronger for it. I was hoping you'd sign Jimmy Lowes

Darn it. I wanted to support Toulouse on thursday but now i'm gonna be shouting for Cullens team
