Ricky Stuart will offer him a contract

On the upside, having had to watch him represent the blues for years, finally today I cheered for something he did. He got a standing occasion in my house. Twice actual
If all the professional sporting organisations sent their biggest derp to one team to form a team of super derps, and that team of super derps had to vote on who was their biggest derp... Kurt Gidley would be that derp
The knights haven't had a plodder like him since the halcyon days of John schuster and Gavin hanrahan. I remember one gavin hanrahan effort for Balmain v cronulla in about 87. Balmain were 26-0 down and got back to 26 all. Hanrahan took an intercept and had 60 metres on ettingshausen and got run down and we lost 32-26. If he ran backwards he would have run quicker
Ricky just might.ring plods
In our defense he did have like 2 seasons of really good footy at fullback which fooled the club into re-signing him to a long deal and making him captain.
I don't know if I should hate him or admire his ability to get so much from the game while being such a plod. He's survived 5 coaching changes at the Knights. 3 as captain. Whoever has the balls to piss him off and deal with the wrath of his brother and the Knights Nannas should get a statue out the front of Hunter Stadium.
Hey, I will not hear a disparaging word about the great John Schuster.
Watch your mouth son
He's an absolute cancer on our team, and I'm afraid it is terminal. He has been doing it all year. The Manly game was even more epic than today.
We'd be far better off without Gidley, Darius and Houston in our team.
Those two good seasons were 2007-08 just after Joey retired. Brian Smith got good use out of him at fullback during that time. His best performance that comes to mind was vs warriors at home in 2007.
The whole entire town will initially go on a brainfart if the decision to give Gidley the arse eventuates, just like it did when Matthew Johns wasnt offered a new contract in 2000 (remember the hysteria that went around Newcastle at the time?)
But I do agree, whoever does make the big decision on Gidley needs to be honoured. Maybe up for an Order of Australia medal. And his brother, as great of a player as he was in his prime, needs to be shafted as CEO.

Woeful should be pensioned off to the ESL.
