one good thing in the game isn't enough. he was outstanding three years ago.

That's why he should be given more time imo,he's shown it before and hopefully will do again,it's not the easiest set of injuries he's coming back from and i don't think playing reserve rugby would help him either.

maybe so but how long do you give him in the first team?

That's the 64 million $$$ question mate how long's a piece of string they perservered with the other's for quite a while IIRC.
I personally would keep him until the end of the season at least.

I'd keep playing him until Smith returns, we have Salford next Monday and if Bradford haven't sacked McBanana by Thursday I'd expect us to rack up some points on them and hopefully he'll get over the line a couple of times and that'll give him confidence.

Huddersfield away a week on Saturday is a tough one

Then we have Quins at home, Catalans at Murrayfield, Cas away and Hull at home.

If we perform to our ability then we should win all of those, I doubt we will tbh though, it just depends if we don't turn up on any of those and the other team does.

Hull, Huddersfield and Castleford are the ones I think we could trip up on.

Gibson was the one that gave the 2nd phase for the final try.

He passed it to the winger you mean. Isn't that part of the centre's job?

Suppose but if Donald had managed to tuck that away it would have boosted his confidence.

He's here until his contract is up.

If he stays beyond that I'd have concerns over the ambition of the club.
