Example 1: A whinging pom.

Being half English and half Australian it's the Aussies who win hands down, there a pain if you get a bad group - especially the women, jeez.

That by the way was my English side moaning

Gentle is far from a moaner. You will rarely hear him blaming a loss for reasons other than our own performance.

Now Now watch what you are saying east thats our leader you know

No keep in mind im a Rovers fan,I actually think Gentle is very articulate and generally states things as they are.

Gentle is too diplomatic. About time he had a whine about injuries and the obvious RFL/referees anti Hull FC bias. Needs to take a leaf out of sandycock's book of whinging

I think they disrespect us quite a bit.
- Opinion (probably true)

I heard Peacock say something like, we won in the last minute and it was our Cup Final.
- True (regardless of context)

Those comments get under your skin as a player and a coach
- Of course

and they certainly provided us with some motivation.
- Good (came to nothing admittedly)

I thought what he said was just a bit disrespectful. It's funny for someone of his stature to come out and say that
- Opinion (based on his own values/actions)

Not sure I see much moaning in that TBH

I've just seen some Hull fans lambasting me on another topic for calling Peter Gentle a moaner. They said he didn't have a moan after the defeat at Leeds. It would appear they have selective eyesight as well as selective memories.

(League Express Monday 9th July.)
Peter Gentle vented his frustration at Jamie Peacock for remarks made on the Superleague show;
"I think they disrespect us quite a bit. I heard Peacock say something like, we won in the last minute and it was our Cup Final. Those comments get under your skin as a player and a coach, and they certainly provided us with some motivation.I thought what he said was just a bit disrespectful.

Moan ,moan,moan, moan,moan.
Anyone that saw Peacock on the show will realise his comments were taken totally out of context. Gentle needs to start winning some games rather than moaning about everyone and everything else.
As a footnote, when Peacock blew his knee apart in 2010 he had an engagement as the guest speaker at an amateur club in Hull the same week. What do you think he did, got in his car and drove to Hull so as not to let anyone down. Maybe Gentle should pop round to that club and ask them what they think about Peacock.
Is there a bigger moaner in the game than Gentle.

So because Gentle has brought up one particular grievance (which in all fairness, most people would agree with his opinion), he is the biggest moaner in Super League?

Not sure what the rest of your post about Peacock was for. He's not said that Peacock is a disrespectful person, just that this particular comment was disrespectful.

I tell you what, try and find me a few more Peter Gentle moans, and for every one you find, I bet I can find two more Barrie McDermott moans.

Sandercock by a long long long long way

Not a chance articulate dignified and honest and seems a decent bloke too
