Blake Gentle just won $50,000 as NRL SuperCoach champion. 

That’s Blake on the left. On the right is his pal Kyle Flanagan.

Blake Gentle just won $50,000 as NRL SuperCoach champion and he already knows his first expense. 

He is a groomsman at the wedding of Dragons five-eighth Kyle Flanagan and the buck’s party is this weekend in Melbourne. 

“I’m sure I’ll have to shout. He (Flanagan) will milk me for all I’m worth,” he says. 

“We grew up together. We are great family friends...” 

“He stays away from SuperCoach so we don’t really chat about it, but every now and again he asks how he went on the weekend.” 

Gentle, a 25-year-old electrician from Cronulla, still plays A-Grade in the halves in Sydney’s Sutherland Shire. 

He once teamed up with Flanagan at school to win the GIO Trophy with De La Salle College. 

“The halves in that team were Kyle and (Bulldogs NRL player) Jaemon Salmon,” he said. “I was relegated to bench hooker duties that day.”

He is also family friends with NRL brothers Blayke and Jayden Brailey, whose finals fate goes on the line this weekend with the Sharks and Knights respectively. 

Throughout his school and local career, Gentle also won premierships alongside Kade Dykes and Sam Stonestreeet (both Sharks) and played with winning NSW Origin hooker Reece Robson. 

Gentle comes from a long line of rugby league people.

Uncle, Peter Gentle, is a former assistant coach of the Australian Kangaroos. He also acted as head coach at the Broncos when Anthony Seibold was axed in 2020 and has held roles at the Dragons, Eels, Tigers, Sharks, Rabbitohs and Hull FC. 

Grandfather, Ken, coached the Wests Magpies’ first grade team from 1984-85. 

Father, David, was a trainer for the Sharks during their 2016 premiership win.

With his background and insider knowledge I am not surprised he won!! Congratulations to him. Did you see the 2nd ranked player couldn't claim his prize money because he worked for News Corp?

I picked a team. The new extra man thingy gave me pause for thought. Not sure I have made best use first time round.

[Spotty Herbert]

I can no longer access team picker. I did complete a team, but whether it was saved is another matter.

[JimBronco]

Happy New Year, fellas! Hope everyone had a brilliant time over Christmas and enjoyed the New Year celebrations. Good to see the team picker is up and running. @Graham hope you're well. Will the League be set up in the coming weeks? One of the best times of the year when our teams are confirmed in the TotalRL League. 

[Spotty Herbert]

Launch date is usually around Australia Day, which is a week on Monday (I think). I guess we will have to wait another week to have full access.

All’s well here JB thanks. Yes I’ll set this year’s league up when it’s possible. A head’s up will be helpful if anyone see’s the system up and running before me.

[Spotty Herbert]

The 2025 App is open. I assume this means @Graham will be able to set a league up for the new season?

[JimBronco]

The website has updated so leagues can be set up. 

[Graham]

See the 2025 league at the top of the forum.

I hope to see you all joining again there. 
Join early to avoid missing out.

One of our champions missed out last season.
