Has Super League ever seen such an over-hyped team who have won so little, or performed well so infrequently?

far too many players who believe they are Top4, international class players...when it reality our best players are the up and coming stars like Crooks and Lineham, and the old-workhorses who give their all like Horne & O'Meley.

There is only so much hype and PR statements the fans will take, and if we lose to Hudds and Catalan I think Gentle's in the next plane back to Sydney.

Couldnt agree more they believe the hype too much and not prepared to do the hard work

Perhaps the fact that they are so hyped up by yourselves, your management and themselves prior to round 1 of every year, has some bearing on this.

I honestly beleive we as a club are arrogant from top to bottom. Gentle never stopped bleating on about how good we was gonna be in the early season and the players seems like they think they can just turn up and all will fall beneath them and are looking very lazy.

Bring Horny Back Now..

Not sure Gentle is arrogant, I just think he is used to coaching a World Class group of players (Australia) on specific aspects of the game such as defence, for a few weeks/training camps a year...and that is a whole different ball game to coaching the full set of skills, tactics and people management at an average club, with average players that has underachieved for years.

pressure is most definitely on now...loud boos at the final whilstle, and Pearson has proven to be trigger-happy before.

Could not agree more sabasteeno ,arrogance of the highest order

Bigger, faster, smarter said Gentle.

Not sure he would have made a massive amount of difference, and that is no disrespect to Horney...Peter Sterling and Andrew Johns would have struggled behind that limp pack!

gentle may be a lot of things but arrogant

To be fair the media are as bad, beat leeds and wire and its top 4 and grand final contenders according to sky. Maybe leeds and wire had an off day, just need to look at the other performances to see what the 'real' Hull is

But there right. We DO perform alot better against the top sides. Everyone see's it.

On the contrary someone like Rich to take the line on and play at the line instead of putting set plays on 8-10m in front of Wakefield's line before dropping it like DJ did would have done wonders IMO.

Gentle sounded like he doesn't have a care in the world from his post match interview.

We look poorly prepped and have been out enthused by team we should be beating comfortably in 4 of the last 5 games. gentle needs to take a long hard look in the mirror and sort it out

I was pretty disappointed with his interview as well. I totally agree that individual and team stuff should be kept within the team confines but we're back to a bunch of strangers with the backs in particular finding it hard to string two decent passes together without error. Round 20 isn't the time to be looking like pre season regardless of new/returning players coming in. There is effort from the majority but intensity and individual pride in performance is severely lacking.
