However based on what I’ve seen in the highlights perhaps controversially I think Scott Grix should be dropped , he’s the one ‘ the old head ‘ throwing the ball out ,kicking the ball out on the full and defensively out of position for the first and last Bradford try and pointing the finger at everyone else .

Agree with this, as I said before not exactly the type of play that you want from an old head. To try and blame McComb who had chased across field to try and shut down the Bradford break when he probably should have done better himself was poor I thought from Grix. I think we all know he must be a player who does well on the stats list though.

Definitely time to give Robinson another go - plays a more structured game is solid defensively and is also an excellent goalkicker. I would partner him with Grix as Harris while he tries hard creates very little when we are close to the opponents line. While not wanting to make the mistake we made against Oldham by taking them too lightly, several of our forwards look knackered; unless there are fitness issues we're not aware of I would bring in Calcott and Jones to add some size and enthusiasm to a pack which for long periods was second best against Bradford. Although 2 of my favourite players I would give Morris and Fairbank a break as they look like they need it.. Otherwise I'd leave the team unchanged - especially both wingers - Salty always runs harder than any forward and Mccomb made far more yards than either of the other possibles as well as showing the threat he can offer with broken field running.

When Scott came into the halves with Connor being injured he had a couple of decent games with 2 mom performances.
What happens though is the opposition coaches soon work out the plays and game plan against them and he’s been sussed out.
Another reason to get Robinson (when fully fit) back in is his goal kicking, Liam’s done his best but the difference between them on the scoreboard is as good as a try and in tight games a win or loss.

Quote: Listenup94 "As expected a 50/50 game that thankfully swung our way , by the sounds of the interview on soundcloud there’ll be some changes as it seems grixs’ patience with some players and the game plan is wearing thin , 14 -4 up and start trying to play like the Harlem globe trotters when we should be consolidating the lead and seeing our sets .

Next game is Newcastle I would like to see Robinson back in with Harris , Grix had a good spell but he’s as defensively suspect has Harris but provides a weaker kicking game than both Robinson and Harris IMO .'"

Spot on post couldn't agree more but i think you have more chance of seeing Moses than scott getting dropped.

7 out of 7 wins since Grix has been at Stand off - not a bad stat to have. I suspect one of the main factors is his leadership and direction. I also think that's one of the main reasons he was previously preferred at full back - JWH is not the most vocal of players, but you need to be in that position. Plus whilst he has been at SO Liam Harris has been playing better. I agree though we haven't finished our sets very well lately, and with the territory we had on Sunday, particularly in the first half, we should have forced more repeat sets. But our kicking game wasn't particularly good at the start of the season either.

Like others, I'd be tempted to have Connor on the bench as a replacement 9 next week if he is fully fit. This gives us other options as well as we know Brandon can do long minutes.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see either Connor Robinson or Scott Grix move to 13. We normally have a forward playing there so not exactly much of an issue to move them into the forwards or stick them on the bench. I do however think that both of them would struggle to defend in the middle of the pitch and is the reason I don't think we'll see Connor playing Hooker. I think people are being very harsh on Liam Harris.... Young lad playing as a pivot is extremely difficult but its nice to see a half who wants to take on the line and have a go. Granted he has a lot of work to do when it comes to organising and putting plays on but you can't expect him to be the finished product! 3rd in the league... No one would have thought this after that defeat at Oldham. Excited to see how the rest of the season pans out. Up the Panthers!!!!

Off topic but now France is off the Amber list really hope we're not the first team in a couple of weeks to have to travel to Toulouse.
