Tyson Gamble

[TrueTiger]

Well, I guess we have to be happy with what IC chooses.
This kid seems the real deal, and will be a great asset to our team.
This forum is full of posts about how we lack speed and creativity. Mentioning every second footballer as the "answer" to our problems if we can sign him.
We have a kid here that does lack first grade experience, but who is lethal in attack compared to our spine . . . and all we get is negativity. Benji himself endorses Gamble completely, yet some muppet here saw him shirt grab, and so he is branded a liability.
If Benji is out, I'd love to see him get some decent game time at 6.
We should be excited that we have the potential answer on our books, coz if we don't do the right thing by him . . . talented halves are always in big demand and we will surely lose him to a club that sees potential.

Great post!

People should be genuinely excited about this guy yet the forum is split.

We might be on the right track now with culture and coach but this fan base has been through hell and back over the last however many years. Obviously some hangovers remain.

Well all I can say about Gamble making the NRL is its up to Ivan….I have had my fair share of overhyped ,over paid potential being the next big thing in our team,like many over the years they either cant produce at that level or they dissipate never to be heard of again...
Why am I being smug in my post regarding Gamble is because as many of my forum members and fans,we have been burnt big time with the excitement turned sour..
I hope young Tyson absolutely kills it when his turn comes,but I dont want to hang by my left one waiting for it to happen..
Moses comes to mind,thinks he is a better player than most and wants out of here to find better,no loyalty at all...Suli,huge money and no NRL experience prior to signing a contract,Brooks,huge at NYC and only now producing anything like he was hyped up to be...so if the " Gamble " pays off,well and good.I will do just as I have before ""I will wait and see"".....

You can’t expect the forum to get warm and fuzzy for someone that most of us have barely seen play at first grade level, if he’s any good he’ll get his chance
I think Ivan might know when he’s ready, so I’m happy to go with what he thinks, rather than A reserve graders cheer squad. I hope he’s as good as you think

Ok, I’ll change that to “ rather than a group of friends of a person , who is not completely proved yet to be a first grader, but will undoubtedly be one at a later date.”
That’s my more genteel side coming out :smiley:

 

[The_Patriot]

I think you guys might have taken that last post of mine the wrong way.

Im saying that its fully understandable where we are at as a fan base.

We should be more excited about a guy like Gamble but we've been burnt before.

I think he will get his shot against Parra..

And that would create a situation you just cant make up.

We lose the impetious , pretentious little sook and now we line up against him with a replacement who is level headed, super hard working and understands having to earn his place in the world.

It really represents everything we have attempted to change.

Im not sure he'll play, maybe off the bench if anything but it would make my year to see him get one over Moses on his debut.

I hope he does and he proves that we have a fair dinkum tryer that gives his all,not just a wanna be….

As my dear departed dad said to me ...win,lose or draw ....as long as you did your very best...then I will be proud of you.... :sign:

For sure…Benji wont play and Reynolds is long odds so Gamble deserves a chance ..Lolohea should be right but I think something else is going on there..

I think he will do well...

I’m deeply hurt by that …........then maybe that was because of that dam whip.
Not sure.

 

[Tim Sheens]

The most important thing about the Reserve Grade Cheer Squad is that they were all in the stands watching those that did not make the top seventeen and the ISP regulars.

Suppose we will find out Tuesday if Tyson is going to be one of the ones cheering them on next week

The only worry with Gamble is his fitness to play the 80… watching him on Sat he seemed to be tanked pretty early ,there is more to Lolohea one thinks than just an injury.

Whats the issue with Tui, was he the early morning macca's boy they mentioned in the Tele?

 

[bonstonker]

Tui has been suspended by Ivan for kicking for himself yet again.

He was moved to fullback in hopes that it would stop him from kicking,but he still kicked for himself twice.
So another week and suspension will have been served.

 

[balmain boy]

As I said in the ISP thread, Gamble looks like a very solid all around half. Possibly the most attacking half with ball in hand a good short kicking game. Yet to be proven he can take this up to the highest level, but the evidence is there at lower grades.

He doesn't have game management as one the strings to his bow, so he does need an organising halfback alongside him. That's not Reynolds. Either Brooks or Benji, but neither of them have proven to be consistent organisers either.

Is he the finished product? No. Fitness? Maybe an area to work on, nothing overly concerning though. Certainly no worse than Tui. But he'll take the line on, and put in some dangerous kicks in the opposition 20\. 2 things our halves have largely failed to do so far this season.

I'd be happy for him to stay and fine-tine his game in ISP for a bit longer, but if the other options are injured he slots straight into the 6\. He'll take a fair bit of pressure of Brooks if anything. He's vocal, big, strong, a good defender and has been playing ISP for a year or two now. No hesitations to throw him in if needed.

considering he wasnt even in melbourne, im guessing not
