I'm glad for radders, rather give it him than another Aussie assistant coach. At least radders understands the expectations and passion demanded when pulling on the shirt.

Fwiw I'm really sorry it didn't work out for Gentle and was willing to give him another go but obviously AP isn't. Brave decision but one I can understand

So do I, but I don't reckon I'd be up to the head coach's job at Hull FC.

Just being told Gentle walked out & was not sacked, from a decent reliable source tbh...

Interesting.

If that's true at least it will save the club having to pay off his contract.

And having re-watched the first half he's done the repectable thing.

If you had worked with the coaches Radders has. Had had a 15 year career in SL. I give you a shot.

Yeah, we could give him, say, a couple of seasons before sacking him and appointing Last as his successor. The (rumoured) appointment of Radford makes no sense at all and we're taking far too many chances with stuff that might work, but has the potential to go disastrously wrong.

Stop being so angsty mate.
You've been on rag for the last couple of weeks.
Gentle failed and whoever comes in next probably will as well.
Roll with it.

Playing under a coach does not qualify you to do his job. He has only two years of experience as an assistant, which is insufficient preparation for the scale of the task facing Gentle's successor. We've tried this before and it backfired spectacularly.

Radford is a great choice,hull fc through and through,except for his best 7 seasons he spent at bradford bulls.What more can you ask,thats what I call loyalty.

If wanting some sensible decisions to be taken about the future of our club is 'angsty', then pass me the tampons 'cause it's not about to change any time soon.

It doesn't (shouldn't) have to be like that though.

Re: Gentle going. : Sat Sep 21, 2013 9:50 am  

Whilst Redford would not be my first choice, that'd be Morgan, Radford has coached Easts for years as he not plus he runs quite a few pubs now so the guy is obviously no mug

Were used to it.
We'll be alright.
I think we should get Rich back.
