It will be the most interesting development of next year, to see how he does. I expect very well or very badly.
If you take away his three bad months at Wigan, his record is very good. But does it amount to not much more than taking on a winning side, Saints, at a time when the other big guns were underperforming, and then doing okay with a part-time squad? I just wonder whether the top flight has moved on a bit, with the likes of McGuire, Trent Robinson and Nathan Brown leading with modern coaching methods, which is probably why Gentle is being touted as the next big thing.
If he does well, good luck to you.
