So being the defensive coach of the best national side in the world makes you a youth coach?

Strange.

an assistant to the Green and Golds, and assistant to one of the best club coaches in the NRL, a bit better than limpdick, you'd have to agree.

I was indicating that his seniority within the Kangaroos set-up was possibly being overplayed a tad. You want to argue this entirely seperate point, made by another poster that's fine though. Sensible too.



Limpdick? I thought it'd take him bit longer to get under your skins. I'd have to agree Gentle has got a marginally better pedigree. But first impressions of Sandercock are pretty positive. We'll see how it pans out.

My original point was that he isn't a youth coach, which you decided to pipe up to and say he was merely 'an' assistant coach of the Australian national team. It was you who was arguing a completely separate point, not me.

Must have missed all his head coaching experience then. But I guess a jobs for the boys role as assistant coach to the austrailian side is proof enough he is a head coach

You think Sheens only gave him the Aussie assistant job because he's his mate?

Funny how all the Rovers fans rated Gentle when he was spotted at the Bradford game and tipped to get replace Morgan. You can always change you mind, I suppose.

You've never really like Gentle and had this to say when he signed for Hull "42 and no head coach experience at first team level is why I wasn't excited when we were linked with him". Yet Craig Sandercock is 42 with no head coach experience at first team level. Guess that explains your prediction of Rovers to scrape 8th but inconsisten with your view that FC will improve. Funny one, that.

So consistent views on both coaches then. Agar was terrible so any old Aussie would do better than him with your squad even Youth coach CS

Not quite. You're predicting Sandercock will take Rovers backwards. Is that why Justin Morgan is still your god, according to your sig?

He's more of a painter and decorator now than god, after seeing him load his car at B&Q the other day with wallpapar/paint.

I'll change it December 1st

I wasn't arguing, I was providing you with clarification.

Clarifying that he wasn't a youth coach and was actually an assistant of Australia? Ta.

Neither have done or proved anything yet big gamble by both clubs IMHO

Bit liked the idiot you have appointed.

At least they might turn out to be good coaches

I'd sooner tale a gamble then commit suicide, a la Wakefield.

He will improve them, IMO.

Agar couldnt improve West Hulls u-8's......Couldnt care less what team he screws up now....he's gone from us and thank god.

Thank god he's gone from us, but I think Wakey will do better then 13th next year.

cant see it

They've got a better squad than this year so they may well finish a bit higher, Agar will add absolutely no synergy though.

5th... thats all im saying.

I'll stick my neck out a little bit and say 4th, provided we get another quality forward in.

Wasn't Brian Smith a youth coach when he came to Hull? I think he might have coached the Steeleres before FC though (can't remember the chronology).
