context_page_description: Bryce Gibbs is an Australian professional rugby league footballer currently playing for the Appin Dogs in the Group 6 Rugby League. He previously played for the Wests Tigers with whom he won the 2005 NRL Premiership, and for the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks of the National Rugby League. He has been called, "a passionate clubman, popular among teammates and a front-rower with good line-speed and a willingness to get his mouth dirty."
context_section_description: With new club Cronulla having a good start to 2012, and old club Wests Tigers a poor one, Gibbs was described by Ben Ross as, "the glue to any team he’ll be in. He gets the boys together and we have a lot of fun around him and he makes us more of a team than people would really see." After missing some early games due to injury, Gibbs was chosen to play for City Origin.
  Midway through 2012, having yet to score since the 2005 Grand Final, Gibbs declared he would not cut his hair until he had another try. He said, "my kids have actually never even seen me score. I’ve got a couple at training but that’s about it. I’ll get one this year. I’m not going to get my hair cut until I do."
  
  Gibbs did not appear for the Sharks until round 17 of 2013 season due to an injury when he put his foot through a glass door, resulting in 30 stitches and damage to his Achilles tendon. 
   
  He said, "I was going to try and stitch it myself. The missus was filthy, there was blood everywhere. It looked like a murder scene. I tried to sleep it off but it was a bit painful and throbbing."
  As of the start of the 2013 season, Gibbs had played 134 games without scoring a try, the most of any player who had scored at least one try in his first grade career. In Round 26 against the Canberra Raiders at Canberra Stadium in the Sharks 38–18 win, Gibbs scored a try, 142 matches since his last.
  On 13 November 2014 Gibbs announced his retirement from rugby league after 12 years and just under 200 NRL games.
