I don't think he would be that bothered to be honest...

Shall I compare Gentle to Rod hull and emu then?? At least he had a hand up an instead of his head like gentle does

Nice. I'm sure Gentle "won't be that bothered to be honest".

"We had a very good week at training"

Yes, he actually said it.

Employing Gentle was a gamble for me as he had no prior experience or record as head coach of a professional team. This team has gone backwards this year which is a fact when looking at results and performances. He seems to offer so many excuses for the results which in itself confirms to me he is unable to coach effectively at this level. His team are not even competitive at SL level let alone challengers. We gambled on this man and it didn't pay off, just like our previous coach. Time to employ someone who can get this top 4 squad to realise their obvious potential. Go for a coach who has a record in SL at this level! It's really not rocket science. My worry is with a massive win next Friday that all the previous game this year and a few terrible performances last year will be forgotten and all will be classed as ok again. Depressing.

PG has just said that it was a point gained.

No excuses from PG, he seems as baffled as anyone else to why they aren't playing how they should be. Confidence? Moral? It's weird.

That interview with Gentle didn't exactly inspire did it? He's caught in the headlights , more or less said he doesn't know what to do.

Agree 100%
Beat an injury ravaged Rovers next friday and all the talk will return to 'Gentle the messiah'

What could he have said to inspire anyone? He was honest. Why everyone saying he's panicking is beyond me.

I don't think it's gentles fault. He can't stop briscoe, holdsworth, yeamo, ellis etc getting injured. He didn't drop any balls today. He didn't tackle poorly. Give the guy a break.

Same here mate,over the period of about 4 years that's me down to a tee

My god we have the same coach. It is a shapeshifter.

'We need an experienced coach to take us forward with new ideas...'

We employed the assistant to Australia, who was offered head coach position for Wests. What more do people want?

some want blood,

Someone to change the same old same old that we've had for years , someone to attract the right players , to choose the right players , to communicate a game plan to the players , to inspire the players and get them to be professional enough not to let the cold weather be some sort of excuse as to why they can't get up for a game!!!!!!!!

Winning results will do. 2 wins from 8 doesn't cut it for me.

What "top 4 squad" would that be then?

We brought in Ellis who every SL club was after, a FB who has started well for us, we tried for two top class halves which both fell through. Would love to know who this man you're talking about actually is/exists.

I suggest he picks himself each week, then runs out on to the pitch with the team and reminds them what they've been practising all week. Short of doing that, he's pretty much in their hands once the game starts.

That's a better answer than Gentle's "I don't know". Accepting a point because it's cold etc , saying we trained well and it'll be alright is starting to make me worry. Taking 60 minutes to warm up shouldn't be acceptable to any coach.

A bit of honesty and disappointment from Danny Tickle

Who is this coach then?

This is the question no one on here seems willing or able to answer. Let's have a credible list.

For me recruitment hasn't being good enough we lack aggression throughout the team and size in the forwards. Also showing lack of rugby brains in team without Holdsworth

What did he say?
