I am by no means blaming Peter Gentle for Seymour's depression, but from an outsider looking in he seems to have contributed to his mind set through frequent media bashings and his obvious off-season pursuit of a replacement. I personally feel his manner with the media is good from a fans perspective as he says what 'we' want to hear but he must realise it can be detrimental to the team spirit.

Just a thought.

Well maybe Peter Gentle has been aware of Bretts illness - remember he has been sitting with the coaching staff at matches - Saturday maybe came to soon and was a mistake - seems you and I dont know about the duty of care that the club have been giving to Brett.

"Frequent media bashings" by Gentle of Seymour?

Often wondered why Brett was sat in the stands with Gentle

Anyone who isn't either Peter Gentle, Brett Seymour, Adam Pearson or one of a very small handful of senior club employees, doesn't have the first idea of how Seymour has been managed and should keep their idle speculation to themselves.

Why do that when we can have a witch hunt?

Apologises, I must of misunderstood the term 'forum' geez.

There are some things it is appropriate to speculate about on a public forum. This isn't one of them.

You still blaming Seymour for everything?

I mentioned Seymour as an example of Gentle's perceived failings with his man-management style. I could of mentioned the Arundel situation at the start of the season or other topics, but this was current.

Eh? Can you read?

You said, without any evidence whatsoever, that he had contributed to Seymour's mindset. Idle speculation, and totally unwarranted.

People really shouldn't be using Seymour's condition to make cheap points about Gentle. Its in pretty poor taste and does you no favours

Gentle made reference to Seymour "not being ready" the week before but that he thought he was "ready" this week. He also said Seymour had trained well in the week.
Brett Seymour's difficulties pre-date his time at Hull. He was signed as a recovering alcoholic and committed a drink driving offence before he even arrived here. Sadly the guy must have a lot of problems but they are not caused by his time at Hull FC

Uh - my first post states 'seems,' warranted it is merely speculation, but it doesn't take great insight to put a quarter of a jigsaw together.
