Im sure that in Peter Gentle we have probably one of the top coaches in the world. He has gained the respect of the players, by all accounts, through his knowledge of the game and its skills but the main thing for me is the fact that he is not bigger than the game itself if you know what I mean. He has instilled into our team confidence not only in themselves but in each other. The partnerships that we see being developed on the pitch, ie, Sharp Martin and Tickle, Briscoe Turner and Manu Horne Seymour and Aspinwall are all areas that in my opinion have been neglected over the years by what under Agar and co was drab and boring one man stuff. Now we have leaders all over the park willing to take on the role as and when required and in Lynch we have found a born leader that sets all the team an example as we had with Fitz. In giving youth its chance as Gentle stated at the start of his tenure we have these kids coming in that dont look out of place. They have taken the mantle, especially Bowden, and are not gonna let it go. Going back to Fitz, can you imagine how good this team would be with him in it.

Bit harsh.

Epic Fail.

I think Gentle is doing a fantastic job and right now I can't fault anything that he's doing. I especially love the fact he is always critical after games rather than talking up wins. He is still probably searching for that 80 min performance which we haven't had yet and he now has a tricky run of game plus lots of injuries so it will be interesting to see how he does.



It's still very early though so we will have to wait until the end of the season to judge him properly but I am very optimistic and it finally feels like we have the right man for the job.



Peter Gentle's Barmy Army

Lets hope we have that 80 mins next friday

Although I've been impressed with or defence so far, our attack looks miles better. We can score from pretty much anywhere on the pitch for a change. Our ball skills are 110% better and Seymour is starting to look like a class act. Although a few have slated him, his build up play and organisation is great! Horne and McKinnon are starting to look dangerous off his plays. Well done Mr gentle so far. The real test though is Easter and the big teams away. Can he keep it up though?

Was waiting for someone to follow it on etc but some just dont catch on

Think he can be compared to a mechanic who has bought a Ferrari with a dicky engine.

The carbs have been tuned,but the supercharger needs attention.

The early signs are very good but way too early to be suggesting he's going to take us to trophy wins

I like the piece in todays paper where Hay highlights getting the lads like Green prepared for super league by putting in big minutes in the U20's with the view to stepping in over Easter,thats how the 20's should be used. I think in the past,results have been key and not actually preparing players to make the step up but concentrating on winning. It's all looking promising at the moment,lots of work done,but lots still to do.
