End of season makes no sense at all. Players need to have confidence in where it's going, and recruitment should be underway now. Not gonna happen if coach for next year not confirmed.

Natural successor for Marshall for me.

Glad we've now got a coach and assistant who have a genuine pedigree and played with flair.Marshall was perhaps the most mundane
player i can remember and it was mirrored in his coaching.

Who has been named as assistant?

Player/assistant coach Scott Murrell-no word on whether Grixy has retired as a player now.

I was at the Press Conference and no he hasn't.

Nice one FM I still think he has plenty to offer,providing it doesn't hamper his new responsilities.

Grix said earlier, when he took over from RM, that should he get the job permanently he would give up playing. Please with his appointment.

Do we get anything for Butler?

I have to say I feel a little underwhelmed at the 'media' announcement.

While at this time it is good to have Simon Grix at the helm, he has shown what this team are capable of, and with a every thing going forward top five looks lot more possible at present. Scott Murrel looks a different player too.
However the way 'Fax built the event I was mulling the possibility a major sponsor was also in the wings, a real money man/woman/ company announcement to throw the required amount of money to make full time and a real tilt at Super League.

Now for Batley and beyond, 'Up the 'Fax' 'get into them'.

No.

Always the case.....calling everyone in to a news conference to announce what we'd known for a week.....be sceptical over next one
probably found a kicking tee sponsor or the like....
