Agreed. Gamble easily the motm and was the catalyst for every try except 1
Was saying this on Reddit.Very few players who have left us give me the same feel of wishing him well like him because you know he tried hard and gave it his all and even though it didn't work out for us because of Mam coming through you knew he belonged in first grade so I enjoy watching him play and what he can amount to, there is a very good player within him given his elite mindset.
Deadset the gamble makes every struggling side he plays in better. The tigers should throw the kitchen sink at him when he's off contract
Ponga is loving Gamble because he is a half that isnt afraid to dig right into the line, cop a shot for his efforts but throw the pass and give plenty of spacing for his fullback to work with. Not many halves in the NRL want to do that consistently.
And that's the difference between him and a cat like Luai. If Luai gets in a position where he'll need to cop a shot he'll quickly dump it off to someone next to him or do his stupid "startled cat" jump and run around in circles. He'll only run it if he can put himself in a position between defenders where neither can line him up.
Gamble will cop ten heavy knocks in a game if it means he has the opportunity to get even one good ball to someone in a better position than him.
You're right, effort players, unappreciated players, consistent and reliable players, they're my types of favourites.Legend. Would love to have him back one day. I'm always a huge fan of effort players.

I think his best passes are the ones that blur those lines though, those flat passes he does at speed to a big forward if they don't go forward almost always end up a try or a break, he is one of the better players getting the ball out attracting a few defenders, he is similar to Yeo in that regard.Biggest improvement is not throwing forward passes .
Every 2nd or 3rd pass was fwd previously .
And I actually saw him bust a tackle .
