Doesnt look like it after a quick glance...so its his "own" team...cant blame players he inherited from Agar...he got rid of most of them...Mckinnon,Ellis,O'Carroll,Seymour.

Just replied to a post about that...id have kept Aspinwall and Goldie as they both did a damn sight more than some of this yrs signings and that includes Ellis.

I couldn't agree more. I would have kept both Aspinwall and McGoldrick. They offered a damn sight more than most of Gentle's signings.

The only way I think Gentle will get the sack is if we don't make the play offs. Which is starting to get a bit too close for comfort. Whilst I rate him more highly then Agar, its only fair he is judged on results and he isn't getting much better. Personally feel he has had a lot of crap to deal with, long drawn out searches for a half back pairing he wants, no young talent coming through and teething problems with the coaching staff.

That said though I think its fair after the investment to expect better results.

where is Aspinwall now?

Best post i have read on the subject so far and to those who keep banging on about Wane and Mcdermott being assistants before moving to the top jobs...they had a bloody better youth set up and structure to come into and that eased a lot of injury worries for them plus a few truly word class players,we had none and only have 1 in Ellis...think maybe as well,we punched way above our weight and raised expectations.

Leigh but is injured i think.

I don't think we've punched way above our weight since 2006.

At the minute we're like a flabby old heavyweight being battered around but a youthful bantam weight every week

I thought we would have this season last season and last season this one but he doesnt seemed to have improved the performances at all.

Personally, I don't see pearson sacking gentle. mcrae will likely go and gentle will be given at least the first 1/3 of next season

Possibly but if we lose the semi then at home to widnes then pearson may act as we will be out of the 8 and will dtruggle to get back in.

Am hoping gentle can turn it round.

I agree that is the most likely outcome and, even though a lot of fans will disagree, it might be the most sensible way to go.

I'd add Paul Anderson to that list as well.

All 3 coaches inherited ,structures set in stone ,where the basics are performed & practised at a high standard- when Gentle took charge, I expected he would improve our inadequacies in the basics, but the deficiencies still remain.

Either the players arent receptive, or its Gentle's man-management.

During our losing streak, players such as Johnson & Bowden should've had a go, but havent.

I fear for Gentle's future at our club,- lose next week,could be the end.
