So there is only 1 big club in British RL then?

As for gentle, I don't see him as the coach of a GF winning team. Don't think he has it in him

Good post.

Well said fella at last someone on hear talking sense

Ah yes, the player who was going to be the real deal under Gentle when we got rid and we said would be a one season wonder.

Hello.

hows peter gentle doing?.I thought he was doing ok, up until he said a few weeks back ( something like) "we are going to build up in the next four matches to the big one in july,he might have just as well have said the next four matches don't matter, its the challenge cup were after!!!?

Gentle i think is the right man for the job. As previous poster said regarding Gentle's comment on the Cup game. I don't think that has helped the players mindset as i do think Gentle is targeting the Cup.

However though, i do still believe in him and hope he can push on with his talents. He may have been an untried assistant coach. But come on, Assistant to the best RL coach in all rugby league for club and country. You don't come away from that with no general knowledge of the game and maybe more.

The blames with the players. Maybe to many players expecting an easy ride and finally have a coach who say's no.

If Gentle says No, why was Galea even signed?

Thats not what Warrington said when they wanted to replace Cullen. They went and got the current GB coach who had a proven track record in SL doing well at two previous SL clubs.

We need the best if we want to succeed and that goes from the coach to the players. Signing players like Arundel, Crookes and soon to be Jordan Thompson will take us no where and neither will keeping Gentle. I dont even think Paea will do anything here as it seems to be a poisoned chalice and whilst weve signed him Warrington have gone out and got Asotasi and Saints have got Mose Masoe. Big difference imo

I agree on the second point.

I think the gap has narrowed, we lost 46-0 at home to Wigan a few years back and there's been nothing as bad as the away trip to Wakefield a few years back. That said, it hasn't narrowed a great deal.

Rather have Paea than them two , Asotasi is a massive gamble and Mosoe is decent but not better than Paea.

You got me on that one. But there must be more to that signing then him just playing. If he was signed for his experience with the younger players then that's fine.

But to your comment. Gentle never said no to Galea, he said yes.

I'm interested to know why you think gentle is the right man for the job? Genuine question

will wait till season end before i make a judgement on p gentle , the next few games are massive and we can still turn it round, win them and we could be on the way to wembley and right up there to finnish 5,trouble is far to many on here have a knee jerk reaction after a few defeats, it was only last month many thought he was a good coach now hes crap, time will tell

If Gentle can do one thing it will go a massive way to convincing me he's the right man: Fix the play the ball speed.

Simple as that. Every team in SL seems to have cottoned on to it being the key to the game bar us, and it's been a huge problem as far back as Peter Sharp (at least). A core facet of the game that we are garbage at, but have not managed to improve in 7 years+. Sort that one area and it will improve more than anything else.

Gentle imo opinion is the right man for the job. Yes people may disagree but there entitled to it.

But to answer your question, First off he understands the fans frustrations and comes out in the media and say's what it is.
Secondly, i don't think Gentle himself knew what he was getting into when he took over and even though he has made his signings, i think the players are struggling with how he wants to play.
Then you have the youth structure. He's bedded in youngsters throughout his reign in charge and with AP has created chances for us with many programes including the half back school.

I just think the team need's time, including Gentle. Many still forget that AP stated in could take upto 3 years before we start hitting our targets. Yes this year was suppose to be the year we kicked on. But as always, Injuries creep into key players which ends up being most of the season, Then the whole Seymour thing, Contract talks being in the spotlight.

I no you may disagree Jake, but that's your opinion which i will listen to
