Just sat at work reading that thinking exactly the same,embarrassingly accurate....

[url=http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/Hull-FC-s-Gentle-panic-loss-form/story-19486304-detail/story.html#axzz2Y9STLE1QA pint of whatever Gentle's having[/url

I take it he hasn't seen the last three games then?

I'm far from his biggest fan but the fellow generally talks a lot of sense. He's absolutely correct about the effort put into the game on Monday from the majority of the side.

Cookie is absolutely spot on.

Gentle on the other hand needs to forget how good they are training, it doesn't matter one bit if they aren't getting the basics right on game day.

Our attitude was similar this time last year and remember when Mcgoldrick came in and lifted our games and brought some passion to the team. We need to find that attitude, passion and aggression again.

If players like Briscoe aren't up for it anymore lets give Crookes a chance to string a few games together?! And before people say we should field out best possible team, well it didn't work at Wakie did it.

Maybe time to give Shaul a chance at Fullback as well?!

If you're looking for an improvement in attitude, this isn't the way to go.

So lets get this right, our form and general play is garbage but its not the coaches fault as hes doing a great job and you shouldnt drop players as it might affect their confidence. So what should you do the Mr Wayne Bennett of RLFans?

Think he means Shauls attitude...personally think there are other players who do need dropping before Shannon.I havent seen mondays game,only heard it was dire but leading upto that there are some players i would have dropped 2 being Lynch and Westerman...both needed dropping after that attempted tackle that cost us a try at Cas...yet Yeaman gets dropped for costing us a try v Leeds.

Yup.

It was Lynch & Watts that attempted that 'tackle'.

I agree that there's quite a few that need dropping before Shannon.

Add Watts to that list too

Watts has been better than Lynch but he hasnt hit the heights of last season and seems to have slimmed down too much for me.

He is absolutely spot on about Briscoe, to me he hasn't seemed bothered for a while now.

If we can drop Yeamo then we should be looking at dropping him also.

He doesn't want to get crocked before moving to his new club. Cooke does talk a lot of sense.

We'll be getting that "bar" out again.

Doesnt hide the fact Shannon Matthews is garbage though.

What is it that he said that you don't agree with?

Worst name joke. Ever.

Oh, and your points as stupid too.

Shannon McDonnell has been in the top 5 players this year.

Crooks, Lineham, Green, Whiting, Horne, Houghton.

Not in that list of 6

I dont rate Mcdonnell wither. Bang average imo

He's been better than Green, Whiting and Houghton.

I'd personally say whiting n houghton have had more bad games than McDonnall has. When they've been good they've been very good but had a few poor games. Shannon been more consistent overall for me. He's also 2nd top tackle buster in league, if our attack was more fluent he'd have far greater attacking influence but we're so poor at min he's been given no opportunity to chime in and effect a decent attack

Agreed but some fans seem to base their opinions on who he used to play for. Similar to how some Rovers fans changed their opinion of him when he decided to leave them.

He's been a very good signing for us.

goes missing too often

I do think our backs would be shining a LOT more if our forwards were busting through tackles and getting some off loads away.
