In his first season?We had Horne ,Seymour and Nicklas none of them had a good kicking game

I like how people said Holdsworth was a bag of crap last year in all but the odd game, and now, when it suits their purpose, he's the reason we finished 6th (though, as paintman says, we didn't have him the year before). Funny, that.

Gentle had an inconsistent half back with a half decent kicking game.

Why do you insist on judging him next season? Miller apart Rankin was Radford's choice.
Where do you get this eternal optimism regarding Radford?

Everyone apart from those wearing their black and white specs see that the team is not performing any where near it should be and I don't think this season or next will make any difference with Radford in charge.

Yes it is convenient for some.

Its only fair to judge Gentle in his first season if Radford supporters want to wait until he gets his own team.Gentle inherited Agars not so inspiring signings and managed 6th place.Radford has inherited an arguably better squad and we'll be lucky if we scrape into the top 8

He had a kicking game that we don't possess now - it certainly won us through against Wire. He was average with ball in hand for sure but I doubt Miller and Rankin would be keeping him out of the current side.

I'm not saying he didn't have good games - most notably the cup semi - but he was also roundly panned on here nearly every week, those odd games notwithstanding. It seems a little ironic that some people now try to intimate that he had more to do with our 6th place finish than Gentle, despite the fact that we also finished 6th the year before without him.

Yeah, but we had Andy Lynch in those two seasons. You know, the one who was "finished" and is now leading from the front at 4th placed Cas.

Yeah get what you mean but I like the guy who was doing the commentary, all ways keeping up with play good discription of the plays etc etc... a million times better than Gollum and his cronies

i totaly agree with you,the guy who did the commentary was good,always keeping you well informed of what was happening.2nd time i`ve listened to yorkshire radio,and will do so again.far superior to that lump of lard lloyd.

Like others have said, if you replace a coach then you need to replace him with someone better. Is Radford better than Gentle? At the moment you'd have to say no.

I don't really buy into this "wait till he's got his own team" approach. Gentle's first season was with Agar's team and we finished sixth. In fact, along with Hudds, we were the leagues in form team to begin with. I remember when we won the Good Friday derby that year that we were all singing about being top of the league.

AlsoThere will be no excuses about this not being my team. Everybody knows expectations of this club and I'm fully aware of them.'"

Yup, he's useless

Tho most coaches would be useless will this bunch of losers we have as players

Most would get more out of them than Radford does.
