Quote: brearley84 "remember eden having a shocker on the wing that day and being subbed at half time too, bad day all round!
you seem to judge murphy on just two games at full back and write him off on the widnes performance.
if we looked at how many games grix has cost us over the last two seasons with his errors and missed tackles we would be here all week!
hopefully things will be different next season.'"
I'm writing him off precisely because he's played too few games in that position.
I write him off based on the fact that he is not a modern fullback. He has no passing or kicking game that would enable him to join the line- If grix is dropped we have no one to back up brough. I'm not saying he couldn't be a good fullback- just that he's not the TYPE of fullback we need Based on the rest of OUR squad. We all know grix can play better - in his first season at FB he was great- his poor performances could well be in part due to the poop spouted on here and other boards. Perhaps if less people got on his back for his mistakes and AS WELL applauded him for the good stuff he DOES do the grix of old could return.
