Lowes steps up after Wolves axe Cullen

11:22am Tuesday 27th May 2008 in Sport By Dave Craven

Bulls legend Jimmy Lowes has been put in temporary charge of Warrington Wolves after the club parted company with head coach Paul Cullen this morning.

Cullen goes after last night's shocking 36-28 home defeat against bottom-placed Castleford Tigers left the big-spending Wolves outside of the Super League play-off spots.

Former Bradford hooker Lowes, 38, has been assistant there for the last year following a spell in a similar position at Salford City Reds.

Cullen is the second Super League coach to be given the boot in as many weeks after Peter Sharp was axed by Hull FC.

They confirmed assistant Richard Agar as their new head coach this morning.
