Cullen shock!

Post by GeoffN »

He talks sense on Boots'n'all!

First he points out that Tommy shouldn't have been penalised, let alone sin-binned, then he points out that we ripped Wakey apart before we'd even done any tackling, then he says we're doing the same things as all the other teams, only much better.

Then he puts forward Both Amos & Lockers for MoS.

He then adds that Cummings and his refs are looking for ways to penalise us, but not finding anything wrong.

Eddie was not happy...

:D

Likes all the players we send on loan :o keeping us sweet :D
It's good to see us getting a bit of balance, in fact we may get more when it finally sinks into Eddies thick skull, he will probably think he's the one who thought up that we are actually not doing anything wrong :blush:

He often talks a lot of sense and his technical analysis is usually spot on. This obviously didnt translate too well to coaching ability as his Warrington side did not seem to practice what he preaches.

I was gobsmacked, that must be the third or fourth time this year he's actually said something good about Wigan.
He seems to have figured out that we are just better than everyone else.

Like you Dobby, I have always thought Paul Cullen was pretty good on the Sky programs he has commented on.
Pretty accurate with his comments and honest with it too.

Yes, Cullen was honest and straight. Wigan aren't doing anything wrong. There's always going to be a delay between a player being grabbed, the referee calling "held', and the play-the-ball. If it's too long then we'll give away a penalty. We've done that enough this season already, but clearly not too often for the Rugby League to start investigating. So well done Paul Cullen for giving a bit of balance to some of the comments from losing coaches.
However, there's no doubt an element of paranoia through this (and many other) thread that's the right of every true fan. But let's not get carried away.
Actually I've never heard bias from Sky, so I won't endorse that view. And unlike some comments above I won't write anything rude or unkind that I wouldn't say to someone's face. Eddie's alright, and for someone who originally came from a football background he's taken our great game to his heart. All credit to him.
And he doesn't dislike Wigan at all. So there!

I agree, all fans think SKY are biased against them, but Eddie does love Keiron Cunningham, and Stevo will compliment Wigans skill, but is in love with Leeds, especially Rob Burrow.
