Peter gentle

Think we definitely underestimate the significance of losing this bloke. Watching the south's game last night really hit that home for me.They're entire defensive structure was efficient and worked so well together. Real strong emphasis on working the middle and earning the sets to lay a platform for the backs or tear down the opposing defence.Such a big loss that was so poorly managed. He signed with them in September 2017 and somehow we never put the appropriate coverage. Kidwell is a reactive hire. Far from the coaching talent we need right now.

  • Nah he is a bum just ask the experts around here.
  • Yeah and BA took over the defense thats either a management cash saving or a BA ego thing
    • Either way - it killed our season. I understand saving money but the whole purpose of the leagues club is to support the team.  The whole purpose is winning.  

      • Certainly true, but the way the club was heading was not sustainable. It's a shame the rugby league side was targetted though (well it would seem).

      • I want to know WHY certain events transpired.

        1. Why did Gentle leave?
        2. Why did the Cougar leave?
        3. Blind Freddy could see we needed a big prop, hooker and winger for 2018. Why didn't that happen?

        I don't want uninformed guesses, I want to factually know why these things happened and who is responsible for these things. If one person is responsible for all these things they have to go.

    • Agreed
    • PT these are three very good questions and the only people who can answer them is cub mgt. At the moment everyone is guessing and plenty on here are pointing the finger at BA.

      In the interview that BA did on MMM recently one of the things that he did say was that it was a Mgt decision to not hire a GM of Football. Clearly he wanted a GM of Football but was overruled.

      He did not say if it was Bernie or Max. Everyone else on here is guessing so I will to and say that it was probably Max.
    • If it was a BA ego thing then why did he have them here in the first place ?   

    • The BA ego thing in regards to assistance and a GM ...that’s just unrealistic realist propaganda. Max finally publically admitted that fact.

  • Might make a great first grade coach??? ?
