this seasons southstander.com whipping boy.

bears no relevance to how his future career may or may not pan out.

move along.

He's average with a criminal lack of pace at SL level, but thats not to say he can't do a job until a better option becomes available.

solid,dependable and reliable. not a strike centre though

Would be a steady choice if we had a rampaging 2nd row running in the centres, or is this a dif subject!!

I generally dont see why people are disputing Gibsons potential, yes he hasn't been spectacular for Leeds as of late, but alot of players aren't exactly setting the house on fire atm are they. Going back to before Gibson started with his poor run of injuries he was showing class potential and after the injuries he's had it's hard to get back into the swing of things, i know. Its only a matter of time before Gibson shows what he really can do, and proves all the doubters wrong

I think we can say he is solid enough but needs to start offering something more soon.

If Watkins improves his defence Gibson will be replaced but until then its a flip between the two.

Gibson had a solid game last night. He seemed to read the game well and a couple of times read Huddersfields attack very well. Nothing outstanding but for me he made that wing look alot more solid (Minus Donalds best efforts) The lads been out for a long time with some pretty bad injuries, give him time to get back into it. I do believe its Lee Smiths position to come back into though, and for me Gibson will then be a good back up whilst noone else is recruited.

Generally agree with this....just so long as we don't persist in bringing back Ablett into the centre. A combination of Gibson on defence with Watkins on attack would be good....but until then it must be Smith (if he stays with us ??), Gibson, Watkins ....or McGuire

..before Ablett.

Good to see us working better in attack last night....but Senior is a cut above the rest of our threequarters at the moment (and that is worrying). Donald certainly needs him.... I would still have in the left wing position if only for his extra pace over Hall, given Senior's ability to put his wingman in space.

You can't put that!!! I nearly got hung for questioning Ash's SL potential after his knee reconstruction!

His tackling was very commited last night. He read things pretty well and made some solid impacts. He came in once in the first half and made a terrific hit 5 yards out. I do like the way he sticks to the player he's tackling - very limpit like. Sinfield out on the right first half made a significant difference as well.
What does he offer us? Who can tell so far? Not much going forward yet, but increasing dependability in defence - possibly.

always was a pretty good defender,the injuries have hit his attacking game far more
