Peter Gentle was a good coach and I know, as some of you know, I would say that wouldn't I, as I am still in touch with him and his family but he was a really good tactician, but baffled at times by the attitude of some of our players. In the end he was disgusted by the way some of the players decided they would take his position into their own hands and no doubt also at how Adam Pearson took their side against him. Something that is the most baffling bit about our club percee is that this sort of attitude stuff has been going on for over a decade and the only time we seemed to get it sorted was when some of the players took it into their own hands (2017/17). Thus I think the influx of older more experienced andinfluential players this time around.
I just hope what our new Coach is coming from transferring (as Peter did) from a proper intense rugby culture, where the game and each other comes first with the players, to this lot we have had here this season, isn't too much of a culture shock and he hits the ground (and a few of our lot) running. I still think good luck to him but from what we've all seen, It is a massive ask of anyone.
