Well done Jake, that is some achievement!
Not really as he’s played more games than anyone else
The achievement is not getting injured. It’s a tough sport and we have had a lot of games in short periods recently.
It’s sad when we applaud someone just for not getting injured, he’s basically getting an award for turning up

He's a bang average player.
Little to criticise, little to praise.
Welcome to the salary cap and incompetent transfers from the board.

Agreed. He's good in the air when under no pressure but if challenged, rarely if ever hangs onto the ball. With his tendency like Isa to leap out of the line - we're always in danger on that side.

Bibby is decent but not outstanding. More than capable of being a winger in a top side though as he's got some power, can finish and is pretty strong defensively.
Looking at our squad for next year though it seems like we're building a backline of quantity rather than quality and just hoping things fall into place. If Bibby is earmarked as starting right winger next season that's fine by me. He's been decent. If he's earmarked as starting right centre it's crazy. He's been nothing more than average in that role and I don't think he's actually passed a ball when playing there. He's a head down centre with a bit of strength, which unfortunately is how Hardaker, Isa and Thornley seem to play the role too. No quality, just graft.
