Thats Parramatta's hit list - allegedly.
In my opinion, at this moment in time, I agree with 'Handbrake' - we need a proven, experienced Head coach, who can mould a group of individuals into a team.
I'd like Brian Smith, with Craig Fitzgibbon, let Smith lay the foundations, then Fitzgibbon to finish the job.'"
So Parras hit list is "everyone who's an assistant or out of a job". No wonder their ed. |

| Quote: giddyupoldfella "This is Gentles first season with his own built side, he's took us to one of the two cup finals on offer, consolidated our place in the league, had a play off win and his record in the Derby (let's face it, we all like to win that) is in the plus, and the young talent he's given the opportunities too are already top SL players who are only gonna get better.
This is a young team he's building, that's gonna have to take some hard, harsh lessons on the way to the top, tonight was just one of them.
We lost by 70 in the play offs before, we got to the grand final the following season.
It hasn't been pretty, but to say we're not progressing is wrong IMO, and giving a season we may just have progressed enough to be challenging.
If he goes then that's up to Pearson, but I don't think it's the answer'"
Yes we did, with a different coach.
My only problem with Gentle is that he said his remit was to close the gap between our best and worst displays. If anything its got wider. At least under Agar we we always crap. I feel totally disheartened after last night. This is the same team that I've seen come from 12 points down against Warrington, twice. Beaten leeds with a great display of Attacking rugby and resolute defence. Gone to Catalans and shown a real steel to win. Ive then also seen the shambles last night, the home loss to Wakey and away to Castleford. It's so frustrating, we can be superb for a period of games and then truly awful on the back of it.
Either way, a 70 point blowout in one of the most important games of the season shows me that the players haven't learned, or that Gentle simply can't teach them!!! Thats our two most important games of the season and our two worst performances.
Gentle should be given another season as you can't deny the youth he's bringing through, but for me he's under incredible pressure from here on in. |

You're bang out of order tonight. He asked a question, why resort to insults? |

Puts himself in the shop window, for a NRL job further down the track. |

I know that already., however IF you employ Smith ,for 1/2 years, then hand the reins to Fitz.
Can you see Fitz,taking over from Robinson anytime soon? |

So about a 4 year plan for Fitz to coach in the nrl? He's probably about 2 away now, just because it doesn't look like it will be Roosters doesn't mean other clubs aren't taking notice. |

Isn't radford the defensive coach ? |

| Quote: handbrake "We need to get him in. He is the one man available who can sort us out (I assume Craig Bellamy and Wayne Bennett are not available).
Some people here like to scoff but he has a clear record of turning places around. There will be no messing. He has taken three teams to Grand finals from worse positions than us. ok he didn't win but look at the personnel in the teams they played against.
If people think there is a better option fair enough. But what is it?'"
I agree with you. Some know-it-alls probably don't even remember him, so have no right to shoot you down. |

| Quote: yello-belly "I don't get thiis belief that he should be credited for bringing the youngsters through. The squad numbers, and early team selections, suggest that Arundel and Crookes were his first choice pairing. Without their injuries we would not have seen the development of Lineham and Crooks..'"
Apart from the fact that Crooks was initially brought in when Arundel was dropped and playing for York, not injured? |

I'm certainly old enough to remember Smith, he may have helped get teams to grand finals but what happened afterwards?
He has a track record of leaving clubs in the [is[/ihit and as I said previously, there's a reason the only gig he can get is coaching the USA Tomahawks |
