Chaos on here this morning. Almost as if something's got everyone excited.

I've merged ComeOnYouUll's thread with this one so that folks don't have to repeat themselves. Hopefull things will go smoothly from now on.

I just tried to do the same and thought it had been deleted.

There you go Staffs

That's as bad as Hutchie on Twitter, Peter Gent-Hull.

Looking forward to having an ex halfback as coach, maybe we can get to see some attacking rugby all the time.

Good appointment.

Although that is what we've just had. What's encouraging on the attacking rugby side though is the way Wests play. If that's how Gentle has been trained we may well be about to become one of the most exciting sides in SL.

I'm very positive about this appointment, combined with McRae Pearson seems to have played a blinder. Think the first time we see them recruit properly (in the next couple of months?) will help show us just how well this may go.

Is this the worst kept secret in Rugby League?

Gentle has stepped down as Australia's assistant coach and will be here next month after the end of the NRL season. He is aiming for a top two finish within three years.

In the Mail he also says "I've been on the Internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club."

That's a huge boost for usand shows his commitment by walking away from Aus.

He is unproven but is regarded as one of the best coaches in the NRL who is not in a Head Coaching position.

It's hard not to get carried away, isn't it? I keep telling myself to calm down and not expect miracles etc, but things have gone so well since Pearson took over, it's a bit of a struggle.

Tigers attacking style is hugely down to personnel, namely Benji. To be honest they could do to be better defensively if they want to win the comp and but are a threat going forward.
