He's gone, moved on, Maverick has left the building.

It's now.

"Simon's Spartans." and all that.

Anyone else heard that RM is off to st Helens replacing Sean Long who is going to Harlequins RU!

Not heard the Saints rumour, but I'd heard Hull KR which may still be possible now that Smith has gone there.

Wherever he goes I think an assistant position is his level. Good look to him in the future.

I think leeds would suit him . He could bond them back together and develop youth . Recreate the sinfield borrow maguire era without having constant financial worries and management issues

I think that financial worries and management interference are the big issue at Leeds, unless you were being ironic.

Personally I dont think hes a Head Coach fullstop just yet....

Certainly not at Super League level.

Worrying signs yesterday that we might be missing marshalls calming influence . We were well beaten and a trip to red hall as well.a long time since we visited there that i can recall . Who was the last player before Fleming to get sent off ? Manu?

Paying the price for Marshall's poor recruitment and blind faith. Grix has a massive rebuilding job on his hands but luckily a lot of these contracts run out at the end of the year.The only positive from missing out on the top 5 this season is that CC prize money and gate receipts should enable us to have one of the biggest part time budgets again so he should be able to put his own team together.

GFB you seem to be getting very vitriolic about Marshall, he has gone, history, whats the name of that tune? oh yeah
Don't look back in anger.
Forward with Grix's Grinches or whatever they will be called.

Massive rebuilding job lol..what sort of endorsement of the current squad and reserves is that . All the squad provide grix with an excellent solid platform to tweak as and when affordable and the right players come along or move up reserves .we dont need massive change just move the right players into the key positipns over time. Evolution. On the discipline front was Manu actually the last fax player red carded in 2015 ? Hell of a dicipline record they can all be proud of . Even leigh learnt that lesson eventually you cant win hard games getting reds and yellows.

We don't have the right players to move in to key positions. By the sounds of it Grix is already looking to offload quite a number of players as its clear to most we have a number of players that can no longer, or never could, cut it at a team aiming for top 5.

I think that's a fair assessment, although we do have the basis of a very strong team.
