I’d give Grix till the end of the season. I just don’t feel we’ve pushed on since the surprising defeat to York in the Playoffs last year. At the moment the club seem to be backing him with players though.
Grix has no control over the players making mistakes and errors and they definitely aren’t doing it on purpose. But the Doro, King and Pickersgill scenarios leave a lot to be desired.
The only thing I can think about McComb been on the bench on Sunday was in case Wood had a bit of a mare. It would have given him the option to get McComb on and Salty to FB and JWH into the halves.
Also throw into the mix the departures of both Scott and Liam, Simon has now got full control over everything with potentially very little input from Anthony Irvine. Would be happy for the club to offer Leon Pryce a short term job as another assistant till the end of the year should Grix be open to it. Saying that Grix is stubborn and probably wouldn’t want Pryce been lined up as a potential successor to him.
The other name i would add to the potential departures is Maizens. By all accounts he has fallen well and truly out of favour so it would be no surprise if he left if not during this season then at the end. I would be surprised if what i have been told is true if he was offered a new deal for next year.
All these fall outs are becoming tedious...what happened to coaching perceived weaknesses in your players and making them better ones rather than ostracising them..?
Hmm , I see maizen more of a winger , blistering pace and a he has shown he has 100 % commitment in playing through illness and injury etc . Crooks adds a bit of size and distribution in that position which is something we have missed . I feel tibbs hasn’t reached the heights of last year and whilst quick is probably a little too small defensively. We’ve missed barber who in either second row or centre provided a bit more in the departments mentioned. Whilst we have recruited some good players, inman , lannon , possibly crooks , I think doro also but for whatever reason not being played , we have a lot of players eating up unnecessary budget which could be spent on a physical centre and a 7 to replace Keyes whilst injured. I was at the legends night and widdop was saying he’d love to finish his career at fax , I’d be willing to offload pickersgill and Maher to get in him even on loan till the end of the season.
