Quote: bonaire "Don't forget Paea,Feka and Thompson were all signed whilst Gentle was still coach.
Gentle also had to contend with an horrific injury list but just got on with the job.
Personally think Pearson has been harsh with his comments about Gentle.Dont want Radford to fail but Gentle would have been successful at Hull given time.He had realised his mistakes and with Paea and Feka had already started to bring in some bulk to the front row.
Talking of bad signings you only have to look at Tuson and Radford thinks the sun shines out of his bottom.Seems to have convinced Pearson of that too.'"
Tuson will come good. Wigan offered him a new deal for a start. Radford likes him because by all accounts hes hard as nails n when he's found his form he'll show it. Been unlucky injury wise. Thomson is a fluke. I was happy with it. Seen him plenty in academy yrs cas etc. My theory was he was gonna be moulded into a future ellis. Ex back into a forward. No one saw the prop thing happening. Paea was a necessity because he was big and powerful after getting it so very wrong with a small mobile pack johnson,pitts as prop etc etc.
feka was radfords signing. I was told radford n last as coaches when heading to the cup semi. Thats how long gentle was a dead man walking!!
