So therefore Toronto won't be promoted?

I don't like the bitter b ocks mate. Take no notice of them. We can hardly afford to gloat so precarious is our position. We've dodged 2 bullets at least with Cas 06 and you 15. Never mind the ground! RL is a small family. Reality is we all need each other

Read the other posts. Giving Bradford some Bull. Can't blame him

Anyway, on the subject...I really like Gibson and am a bit sad to see him go. I suppose we have suddenly found ourselves very strong in 3/4s. With our limited budget perhaps this makes sense and I suspect there's some squad restructure going on here, so I await developments. Good luck Ashley. Good player

I do wonder, for all the talk of Max being able to change positions, whether Gibson could have made a stand off.
His skill would have been useful at 6 and his size wouldn't have been as exposed as it occasionally was at centre.

Yes, we have plenty of cover in the three quarters, and like others said he seemed a bit lightweight.

Hope he goes well, as he never let us down.

Could we looking though, to add a bit extra quality in the backs, but having to let one go in the process. If so, then probably think it is the right call.

Iut of curiosity, what standard are our young guns who play in the centre. I dont get the opportunity to watch U19s

Pardon? I just visited to see what his previous club supporters thought of him. Sounds like he's the sort of player we desperately need right now.

Thanks. I don't think the game as a whole is in a brilliant place right now so I agree with you entirely. Back to Gibson, he sounds like a decent solid SL player who should go well in the Championship for us.

Sure you did........... sure

Shows how far we have come when we can let a player of this quality leave

He seems to be rated by you guys, shame we couldn't have got him in 2 months ago!

Like everyone else, a decent lad & player who looked good when given the chance but never got going due to injuries. It didn't help getting speared at widnes!

Good luck!

The league will be extended.

You have a good player there is no doubt.
He's unlucky with injuries is his only downfall.

He's good mates with Moore too so I assumed that helped the deal.

How convenient. And slightly depressing. You don't get this ''make it up as you go along" malarkey in football and RU.

Didn't the powers that be say only a fortnight since that they hadn't yet decided on the format for the 2018 season?

If Super League is extended Toronto may get a birth in it,money talks you know

Just been looking at Torontos squad.

They maybe setting the world alight in the 3rd tier, but I dont think that it would make for a competetive SL squad just yet.

What I do hope though regarding Toronto is that they are on a level playing field in relation to salary cap as other teams in their respective division, as a news item, to me suggests otherwise. If the article is true, yet another example of RFL bending over backwards to help expansion teams at the expense of heartland clubs.

Meanwhile, back to Ash Gibson

Too right, what I've seen of them Fev, KR, London will all beat them easily let alone a SL side, but that's just me hoping they do

I'm sure the Bradford lads will let you discuss their season their forum.
Keep this thread about Gibson.

Are we making room for todd carney ??

Stop it Eastardsley!! That's all we need. I hope you are joking



Carney can be outstanding but he isn't right now.

Bit disappointed we've let Gibson go, I saw in him great potential, actually thought he is our best centre of the 4 we currently have.
Good luck at the bulls.

Sorry not for me. Fourth behind Lynne, Topou and Arundel in my opinion, which must also be Chesters' as he's let him go.

You can throw Caton-Brown in there as well once TJ is back. Did a good job Gibson but we're moving on.
