Hull FC 'bigger, smarter, faster' for Super League 2013, says Peter Gentle
PETER Gentle insists his Hull FC side will be bigger, faster and smarter than ever before in Super League this season.
Led by the key additions of Gareth Ellis, Ben Galea, Daniel Holdsworth and Shannon McDonnell, Gentle is delighted with the experience in his ranks.
-
Happy coach: Hull's Peter Gentle.
And pointing to promising progress from those already at the club, he is confident Hull can deliver on their promise to fans of a big improvement on last year's sixth place finish.
"We are a lot bigger side than we were last year, we are a quicker side than last year and we are a lot smarter side too," Gentle told the Mail.

"The guys who were here last year are a year wiser also with regard to what I want, but the new players coming in like Daniel Holdsworth, Ben Galea and Gareth Ellis are very smart.
"Daniel is one of the smartest rugby players I've ever dealt with. You talk about the game and he sees it.
"We've picked up speed with Jason Crookes and Shannon McDonnell to add to Tom Lineham and Tom Briscoe, so we have four out-and-out speedsters."
While delighted with his recruitment, Gentle believes his squad from last season have also made significant improvements, especially in terms of their fitness and strength.
Praising the work of his two conditioners Paul Devlin and Brent Dickinson, the Black and Whites' coach says his squad will be significantly bigger this year.
"We've got bigger and faster back rowers and our middle have all put on good size thanks to the great work of our strength and conditioning staff," he said.
"Paul Devlin and Brent Dickinson deserve a lot of credit for the terrific job they've done with the boys. The body shape of the players has really changed.
"Being smarter, faster and bigger makes us better. We have to be better this year."

"I thought the Beano was no longer published?"
You're right Stan, fear not though.
It's been replaced by the 'Chronicles of Adam', compulsive reading this one. It highlights how a Soccer man bought a profitable Rugby Club from the the Hetheringtons and had his pants removed during the process.
He stooped to making rash promises of 'big signings' and better things to come.
Life became even worse, the poor S*d finished up jobless and took to begging for a rent reduction and more fans to support his now skint club.”

"is it just me...but if mr gentle put a bowler hat on he would be the double of freddy parrot!!"
Bigredrobin, Adam borrowed Genital's bowler hat. It doubles up as a begging bowl on his weekly visits to the SMC.
Things are getting tight at the KFC, the Slug has had his quota of XXL Pizzas cut back to 8 a day.

“Forest, you posted:
I am talking to you Dean Hayton of Willerby caravans AKA cashbackprom
Also not too far from that 'small shop in Hessle'. Perhaps he's an aspiring 2014 Gateshull (est.1998) sponsor.

“Just thinking, if I'd paid several million for a loss-making Rugby team, said team were 6,000 fans down on the break even figure , all of my good players were leaving for nothing and any half decent player I tried to sign blew me off.....I'd be miffed......and then I'd be off.....
Just a thought....Lol...”
