My patience has ran-out with Gentle. Last season I thought he did a good job considering the injuries we had, and the makeshift squad with players like Tony Martin making up the numbers.

but this season has been an absolute disaster, our worst since 2009 IMO, and not even a CC win should be allowed to cover up how bad the league campaign has been.

His signings have been awful , Arundle & Crooks aren't even making the team, Galea wasn't needed, Ellis has been average (but at least improving) Johnson is a decent squad player but not exactly one that sets Super League alight, only Holdsworth & Miller have been positive additions. Players like Aspinwall, Martin & McGoldrick were dismissed as being fill-in players last season, but we got a lot more out of them than this years signings!

the forwards are too light, and players we previously relied on heavily like Yeaman, Lynch & Whiting are another year older and haven't reached their usual standards.

our attack is not better than the Agar days, and at times it is even worse as we don't have the 'pass it to Manu and hope he knocks 3 players over' tactic to use anymore.

Gentle seems incapable of motivating his team to play 'run of the mill' SL games, we are capable of beating the likes of Wire, Leeds & Catalan....but then the week after lose to Widnes, draw with London etc

I think Pearson has to act soon or next years pass sales will be dire, the 'new dawn' hype has kept the pass sales going the last 2 years...but they've milked that for all its worth.

The only way to get passes up is to bring in a top-level coach who has a proven pedigree of winning things, and some genuine top-class international players (and by international I mean current Australia/New Zealand/England stars not someone who was on the bench for England Knights once icon_rolleyes.gif

Quote: Jake the Peg "So you disagree with your own point then?'"

No. Our attack is pants and we should/would have won that past 4 league games has it been better. However, because we lost those games so narrowly, the brain farts our players made proved costly.

Not looking forward t next week's match. The time has come I think - no point in waiting for the ship to sail. Appoint a new coach now then at least there's a shot of recruiting some talent. The Red and Whites have Mike Smith in Oz at the moment scouting for new players, if we wait any longer next season will be written off as well. Action now I say. I've posted earlier on the "If........."page on my thoughts...Justin Morgan all the way for me. He is a coach that can attract some good names from both sides of the pond and that really is half the battle.

Why are you pretending to be a Hull fan?

Quote: Davey999 "Hudgell certainly has long fingers.... He could also be reeling Justin Morgan back to continue his good work after the dismal year we've had! Chester isn't ready yet in my opinion. Still think its a mistake that Morgan was let go - he should've been given the chance to finish what he started. Had he been here this past season then we would've made the playoffs as that was standard. Interesting to see how the appointments play out. ....'"

Settle down... I left the sinking ship months ago & have re-joined the rest of my black & white family. Don't understand the animosity between some opposing fans.

Sean Long's available now if you want a half back coach.
He coached Houldsworth at Salford and improved him, he's your best half anyway.
Your forwards need to improve but you need a quality coach to get your half backs going. Once they're fixed the with the backs you have winning will become a regular thing.
