I was told a couple of months ago that Gentle already had lost the dressing room before the Wembley debacle .

Bones, I have no contacts @ the club or elswhere therefore this a serious question [not trying to be funny etc] as I am interested, do you happen to know how or why Peter Gentle 'lost the dressing room'.

Was told myself radford had been asked if he'd take over before the cc semi , which I thought was odd as gentle had got us there . Not sure if this was when yeaman was dropped . Radders rufused . That's when they was stufff in the daily star , so I suppose they was something in that .

I was told radford had been asked to take charge before the cc semi , not sure if this was when yeaman got dropped . But thought it was odd as gentle had got us there . Radders refused , but maybe they was something in that report in the star about gentle going even then . Who knows what's going on , just posting what I've heard and been told .

IF that's true, then the players need to look at themselves and what their motivations are as a pro RL player. Yeaman has been poor all season and deserved to be dropped. Any player who is out of form should be at risk of losing their place.

I personally think whatever incident happened, it must have been after the Leeds home game, we never looked the same after that, except for the determined performances in the CC Quarter & Semi finals.

What after years of the easy life under agar, some of the players didnt like having to train hard for the wages! I hate hearing a coach as "lost the dressing room" disgusting! Gentle might not be the man for the job, but most of the players ain't up to the job of pulling the black and white shirt on either, happy the seasons over. Now lets go get Kearney to be our coach

If true this suggests that the likes of Yeaman will be undroppable under Radford. Player power would be even worse than it is now. Radford will pick his mates and won't be able to make tough decisions.

Radford would be a huge ,huge gamble. Now I'm not saying you would be favourites but don't forget there's relegation at the end of next season.
