rlSomeone else mentioned Beverley Races earlier in the weekrl

will it work

will it backfire

we shall see....

Great move.

I dont care if it backfires. Performances have been unaceptable and im glad there has been a tough stance taken!

shape up or ship out!!

Excellent move. For far too many years, the club have allowed the lunatics to run the asylum and it finally seems that we have a structure at the club with a backbone that should see those days coming to an end.

Hopefully the players have “bought into it” as Gentle suggests, but if not and dummies are spat then the club should be prepared to say a fond farewell to the moaners, regardless of who they are.

Good on Gentle.

I'd have let them watch the state of origin game, after that defensive display against Wakefield on Sunday it might have motivated them to raise standards

He sent them to watch our U8's on Tuesday night instead

Things like this are doing purely for the purpose of appeasing fans, hence the reason for it making the pages of the HDM. Why else put it to print?
In practice, what it will actually do is disgruntle an already fragile and in some cases discontented set of players. A big chunk of your players will be missing anyway due to international call ups and injuries. There is plenty of time until your next match and plenty of opportunities to put in double sessions to correct things that are currently going wrong. Lets be honest, although performances may have dipped lately the score-lines show that you are not that far away from winning these matches.
A naive move by Peter Gentle in my opinion.

why do you think anyone on here gives a to55 what your opinion is?

We're all mostly here to talk rather than listen I reckon - although obviously we hang on [iyour[/i every word you old charmer, you.

Toss can't be in the swear filter, can it?

You lot seem happy enough with it, so decent media management. I'm sure the reality is more nuanced.

yet another obsessed mod from the East.

I fully agree with Gentles stance on this and agree its not before time imo

Im not on twitter so does anyone know if any of the players have tweeted anything about the situation ?

Shrewd move from gentle,the seeds of doubt have been sown in the last month,and this stops the natives from getting restless,maybe to write "we must try harder" 50 times may be the next move!

Not seen anything.
