Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 3306856, member: 8215"] When Gamble first played in the NRL he was a novelty for me. An anti-superstar who has lived his life plugging away in the lower grades. When given the opportunity, his excitement and appreciation for the chance was refreshing, he knew it may only be one game so he embraced it, and revelled in the fact that he was on maybe one tenth of the money some of the other players around him were on, and able to ruffle some feathers and have at least some impact on the result. My expectations on him being a viable long-term proposition in the NRL have always been very low. In fact they still are. But wow, has he taken his chances and just fucken run with it. He has been helped of course by some of the more talented players around him like Staggs, but in his games this year he has shown far more awareness and smarts than I originally gave him credit for. His raw talent is on par with what you'd expect for a Qld Cup player (which is nothing to scoff at, it's just not elite) but he makes up for it with everything we need in this team now - competitiveness, grit, enthusiasm, and appreciation for the jersey. So yes, Tyson Gamble, your effors are indeed appreciated. [/QUOTE]
