Add in the fact that he was injured and suspended last year and it explains the fact that 2015 was a poor year by Bryce Gibbs.
Bolton has been consistent in his praise of Gibbs since the pre-season and he made the point that the rest of the team will no longer be allowed to depend on Gibbs, Murphy and Kreuzer. Perhaps it's the better effort that Bolton has extracted from the second and third tier players that has allowed Gibbs to get back to his best and then some.

I think injuries, suspensions and getting massacred every week impacted on his performance last year. In 2014 and now in 2016 he is our best player and an elite midfielder.
He is the 19th ranked player in the comp for supercoach
19. Gibbs 109.6 avg per game
21. Cripps 106.4
21. Simpson 106.4
25. Docherty 105.9
49. Curnow 101.1
99. Wright 90.1
117. Murphy 86.6
117. Thomas 86.6

Won't be one for a while actually, we know where most of them sit now, it's just a case of someone not in the mix putting their hand up between now and the rest of the season.

Or is it that with so many players now playing to a more team-orientated structure that he couldn't rest on his laurels any more ??
Clearly the overall playing list has a purpose and steely resolve, as an elder statesmen, he would be looked to for onfield leadership and a cool head in a crisis.

I dunno, but Bolton or 1 of the coaches has found the right button to press, and it's working !!
And I'm very happy to be enjoying the results !!
