Hopefully there is an apology from Tiger Watto. His comments relating to Gibbs were a disgrace. lets see if he mans up… I doubt it

Best game from Gibbs all season. Given how he played the previous two weeks he needed to step up or the Sharks may have had second thoughts.

I've been a critic of Gibbs over the past seasons because I don't believe he plays the conventional role of a front rower in that he is not our main "go to" man when we need metres, but his work rate in defence makes up for this and is an aspect that will be missed at a club who is screaming out for good one-on-one defenders.
I'm having second thoughts about whether the Tigers should have kept him and I'm starting to think we should have.

His best years are in front of him. The best one on one defensive prop in the game.

and he shouldn't be the only one we rely on. He's also the only one who consistanty makes over 100m almost every game.

I think thats the main reason Gibbs was told he could look else where.

Ellis and Heighington chew metres. Blair chews metres. Bell is entirely capable of doing it. Begovich, Groat and Woods with extended game time will thrive.

We will miss Bryce Gibbs. Fearless predictions: He will score a try this season against the Dragons and he will play State of Origin next year.

Interesting comment from Gus on the Sunday Roast today. He talked about how when he was Roosters coach in the mid 90s he taught players to stop tackling around the legs as the rules in the game dont reward such tackles.
The comment reminded me of both Gibbs and Fults. Both can make some beautiful grassing tackles but neither dominates as a defender.
Gibbs has never intimimdated in def or attack.

@jas83 said:Gibbs goes missing when the metres are required. I think his more of a defensive back-rower then front rower, but hasnt got the speed in attack. I would of liked him to stay but only as a back rower and we have enough of them. We need metre eaters in the front row
I don't think he goes missing, he just gets back onside early in the tackle count and takes the first hit when the defensive line in usually on the front foot.
In any case, we can't have every forward playing as a running metre eater and then bludging on the fringes in defence. We need forwards in the middle getting through the tackles.

@cunno said:Blair will provide a back up for Sauce and share the metre eater role.
Yeah Cunno I imagine that when Sauce get replaced during the game Blair will go to the front row and Rhino will come off the bench once Dwyer is back on the paddock
