[b]HELLO TO JASON ISSACS[/b]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_35170.jpg



Peter Gentle and his coaching team know what needs to be done, and I believe they will get it right.

But it will not be overnight or after 4 games.

I'm sure we will start to see improvements in our attack as the season progresses.

Then next season he will have the opportunity to bring in some new players to improve the area's he believes need improving. Then we may start flying.

It takes time to build a top team. I'm willing to be patient and I hope my fellow fans will too.

The poor man's bonaire:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32641.jpg



For me, it was always a risk appointing gentle and I'd have preferred an experienced coach myself, however we have certainly made some improvements so the early signs are positive, if not exactly good yet.

Only concern I currently have is that in each of the 4 games we've been in a winning position late in the game but have won only 2. Against wire we made a mistake and conceded at the end and were lucky to come away with a point in the end, against london we were totally in control and let them score 2 tries, against salford we were winning by 6 in the last 10 minutes only to lose by 2 and against wakey we were holding on at the end.

To me this smacks of either a lack of fitness/fatigue or a lack of concentration. I do wonder about the lack of back row rotation and the effect it has in the last 10-15 minutes and also houghton's ineffectiveness late on.

We also continue to lack a leader on the pitch for me. Yesterday just needed someone to calm everyone down and re-organise when wakey scored their 1st try.

Having said all that, I doubt that gentle actually has the quality of player that he needs in order to really achieve success with the system he is trying to play so we need to be patient and see how things progress.

I'm sure pearson will have a degree of patience but won't be happy to see us struggle this year

Quote: alexwest "Conditions yesterday as we all know were dire and we got the 2pts,but I have seen all 4 games this season,and I dont see a great deal of improvement,other than we do seem more organised.
Lets be honest,warrington, we played the best we have played this season and were unlucky not to win,london,we were very poor against a very poor side,but scraped a win,salford are a much improved team but if we have any pretentions of the top 4 or better,surely these are games we must win and on the day they were better than us. Yesterday we finished hanging on against another poor side,who with the weight of possession we should have killed off as we should with london in the first half.Before you all jump on my case,on the face of it 5pts out of 8 looks ok,but shaun mcrae saying "we could be the hottest ticket in superleague",I would say I hope your right but I just dont see it.!'"


We weren't "very poor" against London Broncos.

As for Salford, yes a disappointing result but remember last season they beat Warrington and Catalans away. Sometimes results go against the form book.

Only four games gone. Lets judge the squad and Gentle at round ten.

On the contrary, we was poor against London then became very poor once Moa went off.

Hard Work Beats Talent, When Talent Doesn't Work Hard:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_12933.jpeg



Our pack has been very good so far and been getting us into the position to put some points on the board but there is still some cohesion missing with the ball and when we spread the ball its very slow and simply catch and pass, no standing up defenders by somebody playing straight.
