| Quote ="ninearches"Gidley took some big hits last night.
We still have the problem of finding it difficult to score from close to the line. It would be nice for Gidley ,or anyone else for that matter, to throw defences into disarray with a well timed dummy. We spend too much time with the ball just going from one side of the pitch to the other & eating into the tackle count & wasting energy.'"
i quite liked patton doing that a few times, gidley does drop the shoulder but it's in slow motion rather than BOOM.
I'm liking patton in this team, last year he looked really out of his depth, he's fitting in nicely at the moment, that being said the "sky narrative" had dec patton lost in the wilderness at the end of last season, apparently, not that he was an academy lad making his debut season. Crazy commentary.

| Gidley has been very good this year but I agree with some that the last tackle kick options could have been more incisive. He is not Cooper Cronk but we don't play like Melbourne. The good thing is that Patton is getting plenty of experience in that department. It would be easy to go down the road Leeds did with Sinfield and we give it to Gidley on every last play. The big game experience Patton has over the last 2 weeks is worth 20 games against the likes of Wakefield and Hull KR.

| Yes Gidley's kicks leave something to be desired but he came up with a try at a crucial point and some superb tackles. I suspect the guidance the is giving to Patton is vital.

| I thought he got caught in two minds on a couple of occasions which meant we let Saints off the hook with a couple of ordinary kicks...
I though Patton's kicking was the better of the two half backs. but Gidley is stronger than he looks, he's got an awful lot of those short ball crash tries that second rowers should be scoring......he'll do for me.
and as mentioned hes an experienced old head that we need...he's no Jon Wilkin that's for sure

| Ok he defends well...he kicks well...he organises well...runs the ball in well...but what has Gidley ever done for us?
Having said that he can't kick the ball like Ashton Sims...!

| Gidley was great last night....scored a good try....put in some decent kicks...showed some leadership..made some outstanding tackles...the one against LMS (or bin bag head) was a game changer.

| Gidley had a great game last night, has had a decent season and warrants a place here next year.
Apart from his own performance I think that he genuinely adds something to the team and hearing Chris Hill on the radio as I was driving to the game so does he. The young lads in our team and we have one two must benefit from having him on the field at training, on the pitch during a game and off it in the dressing room

| For me, Gidley, Hughes and Westerman have massively stiffened up our defence this year compared to last. Defence the big difference and has compensated for the loss of injured stars - last season we wouldn't have coped with losing Westwood, Currie and Sandow.

| I know this says first post but had to create a new account due to certain issues think you can guess was wolfinwidnes.
I think Gidley has added that steel we needed, is he the best kicker - no, is he the best taking on the line - no, is he the most skillfull - no. BUT is he the most professional - yes, is he always putting in the effort - yes, is he one of the fittest players we have - yes.
I think he put out one hell of a performance last night and seemed to want to prove a point after a disappointing cup final (through injury)
He would be my first name on the team sheet every time

It doesn't but it would appear that you are oblivious to good play. I absolutely despair when someone starts a thread like this after a win like last night. Thankfully there isn't another poster that agrees with you.

| 2 good kicks from George Williams resulting in 2 drop outs, 2 tries against Hull.
People underestimate the importance of having a quality 5th play option.

How well are Hull playing? Maybe give saints defence some credit? I agree to an extent that some of our last tackle plays weren't testing enough for Saints but they managed the field position well enough. You do realise that we win don't you? this witch hunt of yours is bizarre, sandow is our off the cuff player, go to last play specialist and he is injured. It's testament to Gidley, ratchford and Patton that we are playing as well as we have been recently without a player as influential as sandow.

| Gidley great player. Looks at times too much playing him a hb and looks knackered. Prefer to see him at fb for a change.

| I find it utterly amazing anyone questions the value of Gidley. He is the signing of the season.

| Gidley has been as good as you'd expect from a 34 year old veteran. Sometimes brilliant, sometimes poor, mostly good.

| Yup I feel that there us some very harsh criticism of him.from some on here.
Considering he's been carrying some kind of knock most of the season I'd say he's has been good especially when he is picking up the knocks puttingbhis body on thinking for the team
