Scott Gibbs, Joynty says it took him the whole of pre-season to keep up with the stragglers at the back and another season to get to RL standard.
The best centre out of a pick of four internationals Good Friday 1996, scored at Wembley that year in the CC giving Paul Loughlin the big heave-ho.
When he switched back to the dark side he was first choice for the Lions and along with Bentley, Tait and Quinell the only reason I found interest in this code.
I met a few Welsh lads who were on his case where they deemed him not up to standard (you can have him back at St Helens were their drunken retorts) in the 5 nations in 1999, he then put in a superb effort against France and tore England another one in the final minutes at Wembley when Jenkins kicked the goal to give Wales a great victory there.
I often wondered what they thought of him then!!
I think the same of Scott as Ralph does of Lance.
