Yeah I agree.  he was pumped for it and looked big and strong in attack and
defence.  Apparently Gibbs has/had a virus which made him not well and not
play well.  Could be Jason's chance.

It looked to me as if Gibb's is stuck in trying the big crash everytime he
gets the ball and his play and the backline is suffering for it.
Jones-Hughes kept his head down, concentrated on linking and doing his job
and as a result the backline started improving.
Hopefully Henry will have a chat with Gibb's and he'll be back to his best.
