3 years, which is a good time for him to turn us around and win something.

Very happy with this news, with him and Pearson running the club with help from rule and Mcrae, very exciting times ahead for Hull.

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."
