Sorry jools but I disagree, his talent is at half back and putting him at full back would be wasting what could be a very dangerous partnership in Brough and brierley

All what you say about Kirmond is true of many a player, and could be the same with Brierley, or Ellis for that matter. I could live with him at fullback, although it's quite amusing how quickly people are writing Grix off, having been saying how much we miss him and his organization.

I haven't seen all that much of Brierley either , just on TV, but funnily enough he looked the best against SL opposition.
Did we have a player at Wakey who wasn't anonymous.

We have missed Grix more than the knockers may wish to admit, we would be much more confident playing in front of his defensive organising ability. We had the best defence in superleague when he was playing!

Grix aiming to be back for magic weekend.

No word on Ellis though- but initially they said up to 10 weeks which would make it just before magic. Wonder if that's still the case?

He also got a lot from interceptions - and that's not easy from full back!

Mind you, the opposition also scored a lot from him rushing out of the defensive line, and missing the interception!

That said, I still think he is best suited to full back, eventually. Meanwhile, it looks like you need your most reliable players in their 'comfortable' positions, and Grix has always been a sound player.

Dont you lot ever learn??





Dont argue with the lady
If Jools has him pencilled in for full back - with Andersons support --then thats where he`ll play!!

My genuine doubts spring from the fact that quote " we dont want another change at full back although thats what it is as Tansey was playing there albeit on a temp basis

And whilst I love the idea of a Brett Hodson coming into the line asextra support I have an inbuilt belief that a full back should be able to form a reliable last line of DEFENCE
Damn it -thats what Grix has taken somuch flack for
It might be great that he can organise the defensive line in front of him, but if they break through that and as some have said the last tackle is missing --whats it worth??
Still claim play him (Brier4ley)where hes best instead of trying to "convert"him and if we do need a full back -then look for one It might not be easy but cant see point of trying to get the lad at his age to "adapt"
In our present position its too big a gamble and as I said remember poor Chris Thorman( unless someone CAN convince me that worked out absolutely right!
What next ??
Aaah -when Broughy finally goes - perhaps we can buy a full back --and convert him to an half back eh??
Extract it if you want --but in my view - just as farcical!-- and we could tempt fate twice eh??
Bets on an each way double??

However - if the opening idea IS correct --Ill have my digits tightluy crossed (although we COULD end up with two halbacks --or two full backs !! We could always sell one after converting em

2 points coming our way today.

I hope so but its sh*t or bust day today our guys have to stand up and be counted nothing but a strong performance will do !!

Apologies pal - ever so slightly edited ! but otherwise spot on!!!!

would be confident of a win today .... its a shame the players arent confident in themselves at the moment though
