Huddersfield were in free fall when we played them in the playoffs, we'd have beaten them with what we had out on Friday. Whiting hasn't been a 6 for a considerable amount of time, and has spent the last two years trying to bulk up for the 2nd row. As for Horne, he may have worn the 7 shirt before but he's never been a SH.

i think hornes been a good 7 at times for hull over the years but that is alongside the likes of cooke,j smith,swain.all people who had the ability,desire and mainly bottle to drag a team through adversity to get the result.horne has probaly been our best player for a large part this season but he needs help from all the team.those other players demanded the best from everyone else and more often than not got it.horne is'nt that figure head.

Interesting viewpoint, but if it is true that Gentle has been told to sort the club out from the ground up, and go for the short-term pain, long-term gain option....then why haven't the club been honest about this? We've been told that we want top4 rugby, that most of the signings are 'internationals' that we wanted 10K passholders to see it all etc



I know saying that 'we're going to be rubbish for a few years more because we are training up the kids' doesn't sell tickets, but we wouldn't be seeing 'Gentle Out' threads like this if the club hadn't hyped everything up.

Dont disagree with any of that but we need a number 7 that is the root of a lot of our problems, we are not letting teams score a lot of points and several times this year we would have won the games if we had a bit of skill at 7.

Made me smile that one mate, seen some conspiracy theories but thats a good one

With a consistent trend of McRae sides being all about trying to throw the ball about and attacking but being lazy in defence, and us currently being the exact opposite, that makes perfect sense, honest.

spot on .if gentle got sacked players will say it was their fault.and it will be no passion and lack of effort

It is rare that you have the opportunity to read such childish drivel by someone who obviously has little grasp of the game and the transfer market. I DO blame Rule/Agar for leaving the club so lacking in resources, a position which the current regime have to deal with.

I would like to know what this person thinks the dismissal of Peter Gentle would actually achieve ?

Pathetic

Spot on -

...and now he is a tactical genius !



Jamie Shaul making his debut and new halfback pairing.

I seriously doubt another coach could do any better with the players we currently have available. Unless we can find a new coach who can bring a couple of half backs with him, I think we should stick with Gentle, at least until the end of the season.
