Gentle v Agar

Quote: PAUL M "Agree with all of that. A new scrum half would solve a few issues but to suggest that one player can suddenly make all of our other players perform better is wishful thinking. Unless of course you are signing one of the best in the world like Cronk or Thurston then that could happen.

There just isn't the quality of half available that will transform our team. We have an organiser, what we need now is someone who has genuine pace with a touch of creativity to partner DJ.

Our issues are much deeper than one player, we are lazy and lack mental toughness. That has to come from the coach, like MaGuire did with Wigan. A new halfback won't make too much difference if he doesn't have runners to give him options.

This is the biggest disappointment for me with Gentle, he hasn't transformed our style of play that much. We don't ptb any quicker, we don't have proper attacking structures in place, we still give away silly penalties late in sets and we still lack belief. The one thing he has done in improve us defensively and made us more agressive.

A new SH is a must but if we are expecting miracles then we'll be disappointed.'"

Fully agree with that. A decent SH would make us better but nowhere near the levels some seem to think. You only have to look across the river to see that a good SH doesn't make up for all of the other problems in a team. There are plenty of areas where we could eb a whole lot better without the addition of any players and this is where gentle needs to prove his worth for me
