Quote Supreme Optimist="Supreme Optimist"They are all important to the development and stability of the club, the one I'm most pleased about is Grix. Who is slowly becoming a key member of the squad, as this year has been his best so far.'"
Agreed with Grix. One thing that has impressed me a lot about Grix - and Chris Bridge - is that both these guys were very highly hyped when they signed for us, and then for various reasons (Grix through injury, and Bridge through not really being a natural playmaker at stand-off) they went through about 3 years of being a player that had never delivered on that potential, which usually spells curtains for a player and they could have easily disappeared into being palmed off to Salford, Wakefield, Leigh etc.
Credit to the club for sticking with them and for the players for sticking it out because both of them ended up delivering on the early expectations.
Also if it had been down to me I'd have binned them off a few years ago, I thought Grix was just an injury crock that would never be fit and I thought Bridge was overrated, but on both cases I changed my tune and came to regard both of them as top players!
