In round 8, Gamble was called into the Brisbane side for their match against the Gold Coast. Brisbane won the game 36-28 after being down 22-0.[12] It was Gamble's first win in the NRL. Commentator Billy Slater said, "He's the one organising play, he's the one talking and pointing. He is getting to the points and getting these plays on. He was outstanding in this game, he just gave so much structure and gave Milford that freedom."[13]

In round 10 against Manly-Warringah, Gamble was sent to the sin bin during the club's 50-6 loss.[14]

On 16 August, Gamble was suspended by the NRL for two matches after being placed on report for using a crusher tackle during Brisbane's 21-20 loss against the Sydney Roosters.[15]
