Gibbs was identified as having leadership qualities very early on and it's an indictment on our systems that he has failed to come on in that area.
Sure, we can say that we are focussing on recruiting players with leadership attributes but put them into a system where they won't flourish and you get very few leaders. You can then blame recruiting or personality traits but the reality is you need development in leadership just like all other aspects.
Anyway, we're going to have to suffer some pain in that area for a few years so it's not really a big deal whoever they go with.
