Quote: Listenup94 "Yes a lot of what I post is objective information, ultimately the coach the one with the qualifications and insight will make the decision. I can’t remember exactly what gfb once quoted but it was a long the lines of what if he was was right. . I will counter that with what happens if we win the 1895 cup what happens if we win promotion because let’s face it we’ve as much chance if not more than anyone else doing it . On our day we are the best attacking side in the league and regardless of budgets have some brilliant players at this level . I’m not sure if promotion is right for us right now but it wouldn’t surprise me if this was 2010 all over again but with greater rewards. Whilst the current fax team seem to struggle with focus when it doesn’t really matter we undoubtedly play our best when it looks like we’re on the canvas . Every game from now on in is knock out rugby , I’m in the blue and white corner .'"
I agree with all that. I think recent performances show what we are capable of and the fact that we have not produced anywhere near those performances on a regular basis is one of the reasons why people have been calling for Grix's head. Totally agree regards best attacking side in the league as well and its the faith that I had in this side at the beginning of the season that left me thinking we may need a change of coach and I am happy its come about, Im happy that it is on Grix's own terms, and I am very happy that he gets the chance to coach the team at Wembley. He is a Fax lad and I want him to suceed but us fans will be here long after these players and coaches have long gone and ultimatley I want what is best for HXRLFC and I still think that is what is happening.
I might be wrong, I mean it wouldn't be the first time in the last 30 years or so and won't be the last. I get that some people are really butt-hurt about Grix's decision to leave but you never know it may work out for the best and I remember back when Calland took over as 1st team coach after been assistant that he wasn't everyones choice but it turned out ok.
