I don't think Gentle is a bad coach. Maybe he thought he'd be able to tackle FC but IMO, yes him being the coach must shoulder some of the blame. I Feel the players are letting him down.



Look at what happened in 2008.. We were losing until Kear was sacked then did a 13 game unbeaten run. Why did we play poorly 1 minute then all of a sudden come good??



People say we lack creativity, that's true but when you've got your creative players sat in the stands it's pretty hard. Yes we recruited Miller but we won't see the best of him until next year.



Also maybe it's not part of the problem but how much does Contract Talks affect players ability to play the game?? Honest question.

Why is everything always going to happen next year ?

Maybe because he's still only young, travelled half way round the world leaving everything behind and been thrown into the deep end because of injuries..



However you don't need next year to jog on. Could take minutes

Only 3 minutes until the afternoon so they'd better hurry up

I know its still "tomorrow" but has this happened yet?

"By tomorrow" meant by 23:59:59 yesterday.

another one in the know who actually knows nowt

They've gone [size=5shopping[/size

To the toilet?

Well they're certainly producing some S**t at the moment.

It's like the larvin "show me da money" thread we waited and posted on deadline threads. Ya can bet your ass just like we won't see larvins billions you will still have your current coaching set up

My patience has ran-out with Gentle. Last season I thought he did a good job considering the injuries we had, and the makeshift squad with players like Tony Martin making up the numbers.



but this season has been an absolute disaster, our worst since 2009 IMO, and not even a CC win should be allowed to cover up how bad the league campaign has been.



His signings have been awful , Arundle & Crooks aren't even making the team, Galea wasn't needed, Ellis has been average (but at least improving) Johnson is a decent squad player but not exactly one that sets Super League alight, only Holdsworth & Miller have been positive additions. Players like Aspinwall, Martin & McGoldrick were dismissed as being fill-in players last season, but we got a lot more out of them than this years signings!



the forwards are too light, and players we previously relied on heavily like Yeaman, Lynch & Whiting are another year older and haven't reached their usual standards.



our attack is not better than the Agar days, and at times it is even worse as we don't have the 'pass it to Manu and hope he knocks 3 players over' tactic to use anymore.



Gentle seems incapable of motivating his team to play 'run of the mill' SL games, we are capable of beating the likes of Wire, Leeds & Catalan....but then the week after lose to Widnes, draw with London etc



I think Pearson has to act soon or next years pass sales will be dire, the 'new dawn' hype has kept the pass sales going the last 2 years...but they've milked that for all its worth.



The only way to get passes up is to bring in a top-level coach who has a proven pedigree of winning things, and some genuine top-class international players (and by international I mean current Australia/New Zealand/England stars not someone who was on the bench for England Knights once
