Gibbo was great, making it hard for Jacobs to get back in the team.

 

[Unity-28]

Converted Gibboist?

ease up there mate.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Played in his proper role today. Great game.

 

[Gasometer]

Just saw Sloanes numbers.......Utterly destroyed by Gibbo...No easy ball on the outside today Rory....

The big scalps just keep on coming for Gibbo.....He IS The Terminator...who will he hunt down and eliminate next?

Gaso Enemy No 1 of course...

 

[giantroo]

Sloane ripped him to shreds the last time we played them. Let's see if he will play on him again.

What a game from Gibbo! Smashed him this time around.

 

[The Other Dean]

The Other Dean might disagree with you there, Gaso

Not sure I even know this 'Gaso' bloke.

Oh wait...he's the guy who used to do the game day threads, yeah?

He can gagf as well.

Way ahead of you there, bud.

It all started a few minutes after the final siren when, to celebrate the win, I decided to "hang my scarf out of the car".....

 

[The Other Dean]

Rory had a stinker, settle down.

He makes way for Simpkin this week.

100% disposal efficiency last week.

Destroyed the form player of the competition this week.

To steal a quote from the BBB thread - what a time to be alive.

If only he were able to curtail the influence of Dahlhaus, Mundy & Dangerfield, we'd be 5-2 and flying.

Of course those really tough jobs went to Dumont, I wonder why.

Because Scott rates the value to the team of Gibson's run and spread.

[Twinkletoes]

A fair bloody effort that, and the article's a likely sign the Gibboists will be disappointed AGAIN!

Yep, cleared to play, team is named, and Gibbo is now set to equal the club record for consecutive games played.

And barring any mishaps (including getting jumped by badass gym equipment), the great man will break the record against the Saints after the Bye.

Amazing achievement indeed. Even more impressive when you consider it's from debut.

Not sure what I enjoy more - knowing that in years to come I will see his name in the club's history books as the record holder for consecutive games played, or knowing that in years to come Gibboists will see his name in the club's history books as the record holder for consecutive games played.

 

[RHLK]

Step aside, Keith Greig, there's a new sheriff in town......

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

Keith Greig...Sam Gibson ...same sentence? Hmmmm. Anyway, well done Gibbo - a really good achievement.

 

[ferball]

Gibbo. Congrats. Great effort and well deserved.

 

[Orange Peanut]

I had forgotten how much I lubbed Gibbo until the Dees game when Gasometer pointed out how much ground he was covering, and how long he was able to sustain it for. Works incredibly hard and deserves the record that he makes his own tonight

 

[ferball]

He runs 20km s a game.

At least. Its probably closer to 60.

 

[Yianni]

At least he can get it. Which is more than we can say for half our team.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Really disappointing last night. His last year.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Can't see any real reason why he should be kept on for next year.

Some really average decision making and kicking over the past month

Will depend on the movements of around 4 other players

 

[The Nostradamus]

Will depend on the movements of around 4 other players

Should be Gibsons final year regardless. Surely we don't waste a spot on a 32 year old Gibson next year

He's a good trainer and role model, we can't or we won't move on another 5 experienced players like we did in 2016. I am not saying he will be at North but it depends on others.

 

[tazaa]

Always liked him but fail to see what he brings going forward.
Sure he's an elite runner but training standards into match day practice aren't excactly our areas of excellence at North.
We need to improve our standard across the park.
