| He is still one of the fittest players and hardest trainers in the game.
He has never been a first choice playmaker of quality because he isn't a quick thinker and he isn't calm, but he is an ideal second choice playmaker because of his high workrate and fitness. He will put his hand up to work when others are slacking off and get your side moving forward.
The best part of his game is defence. He isn't a big guy, but he will bring down anyone who runs at him, and do it 30 or 40 times a game if he is up in the line. He also invariably leads the kick chase and gets his man 9 times out of 10, no matter who they are.
When he plays fullback, which is his best position these days, he can be used to give your hooker a rest, because he doesn't mind playing fullback in defence and dummy half in attack. He is best at dummy half against tired forwards, because he loves to run from dummy half and is good at it.
The poor quality of his playmaking (rushed passes and poor kicks under pressure) will frustrate you, but at the end of the day, he will do the work of two players in attack and defence and take the pressure off all your other key players by doing half their grinding work for them.
Casual fans judge him on his errors and really don't rate him. Coaches and fans who really watch what he does love the guy because of the mountain of quality work he does during a game. The Knights have always won more games than they lose when Gidley plays.

I'm a bit claustrophobic, but, if I had to pick anyone to be stuck in a lift with, Matt would be right up there near the top of my list. He seems like a great guy, I never tire of his antics, an ideal dinner guest.'"
tut tut tut tut tut.

Funny thing here is that you were so obsessed with our 'laughable' signings from NRL (that you are an expert on), that you missed the fact your own club was going to be bottom of the league and a laughing stock.
Gidley and Sandow are probably the best 2 half backs in SL... which means you have zero credibility as a critic.
were all laughing at Gidley and Sandow as well...

You are right it is just banter!
The quotes arnt all negative, the only ones which arnt there for banter are the posters wishing Mcguires injury ended his career. Those people are mugs and there is no place for that.
