Quote knockersbumpMKII="knockersbumpMKII"The pair of you are total gobes... and as for the accusation he is laughing at us for taking compensation for being put in an untenable position by both players and owner resulting in resignation then that is dispicable..
It was not Gentle's fault the players continually dropped the ball not went for easy 2 points at Wembley, it wasn't embaressing, yes it was an awful loss to bear but it was exciting and even into the last 15 minutes I thought we might pull it off.
As for the Hudds loss, well the players were just disgusting, in a work place environment a lot would have performance reviews/warnings for ineptitude/attitude..they were shocking, not Gentle'"
So, the defeats at Salford, Widnes, London, Castleford and the KC against Rovers were high-points eh? No, They were all very very bad defeats against poor teams. You're stupid if you think a Wembley appearance made all that better. We limped out of the playoffs AGAIN in very embarrassing fashion.
The Wembley and Huddersfield games DID set us back this year. Look at the pass sales for further evidence. If we'd won the CC, we'd be hitting 10,000, I have no doubt.
Gentles game-plans were baffling to say the least, and he hadn't a clue on bench rotation. Clueless in the 20m week in, week out.
Wigan were there for the taking at Wembley. Any top 8 team would have beaten them, perhaps even Rovers would. They had a half-back who could win games. Holdsworth was hopelessly out of his depth and yes, he was a Gentle signing.
When it was rumoured Gentle was getting the sack a month before Wembley, there was substance in it. I believe Radford had met Pearson with their concerns and this was leaked. Andy Hay left for a reason and I bet the reason was Gentles incompetence.
