And chose Salford? FFS

It was interesting that McClennan publically said he was not part of the anticipated 1st team squad at the start of the season but had a change of approach (bought into the ethos or suchlike) and forced his way into contention.

Good on him for doing so but you have to ask why did it take him so long?

No offence intended sami just commenting on McClennan's words.

I noticed that also i guess it can be hard for young players sometimes to see the "bigger" picture when it comes to RL at elite level.
Mike has been good in the acadamy for a few seasons imo and i thought he'd step up sooner but maybe that was hindered for whatever the reasons by his unpleasent loan period at halifax.

I guess its a combination of money and first team opportunities that would rule his decision

If true he (Gibson) really wasn't cut out to challenge for a spot at Leeds afterall.

No great loss if he does end up leaving, hardly made any eye catching performances this season.

when at fax he did not look so good and did not even get picked for the team a quite few times.

I am surprised he's managed to reverse the damage done in such a short period of time. Testament to him that he has IMHO.

Correct. Well said Richie. That's exactly what happened. Mike "tossed it off".

Very disciplined, thats why some of their players were talking about taking HGH on Saturday after their game!
