| Quote jumper="jumper"It isnt very long ago that PA was being criticised for playing Brearley at full back! As for Grix, he is our No. 1 full back, the full back who has been there organising our defence when we were the best defence in superleague (two seasons). He made fewer mistakes than Murphy,Brough Hinchcliffe and Wardle against Widnes
and was playing with an injured bicep sustained at Newcastle. Some "knowledgeable" people on here should view the team and individual performances without their personal prejudicies and back the coach s judgement on players .
,'"
How many times did he have the ball in hand compared to the 4 you've named?
Are you seriously trying to tell us he was responsible for us having the best defence?
Even if you are, that's the past.
Was only a matter of time til one of the grix lovers mentioned his 'organisation skills'
He is not good enough, simple as that. He never has been, but what makes it more frustrating is the fact that we have a better player on a long term contract sat in the stands!

So he will be the next scape goat getting in the way of Simpson?

| Bloody hell, Grix starts to play again and he's been critized or complained about (not just on these forums) more than our other players this season already.
All the games we've lost without him and suddenly he's our disadvantage.

He was injured in the first game of the season when the game was still close. He has only played the last two games since then. One we won and one we lost. Inbetween this we have hardly won a game. How is Grix to blame for this. I have to serious think we have the most uneducated fans of any club. I am not saying he played well last week but he was no worse than half a dozen others. We are two thirds of the way through the season and Grix has had one poor game. For gods sake try understanding were the actual problem is and why the Giants are in the position they are.

| So grix gave away a try, but Hinchcliffe and Jerry both dropped the ball on the line, leading to a score for the opposition and it doesn't lead to this hammering of a player. How many trys does Jerry give away due to poor defensive positioning? Three on the trot identical tries whilst we were leading at Cas which led to us losing the points. Because grix isn't scoring the tries it's assumed he does nothing else. Some people watch but clearly don't understand.

The point is that Brierley was doing nothing wrong apart from the odd high ball, he scored a hat trick against Wigan length of the field try against Leeds and was starting to look the part. He enters the line better for me too.
Of course there were other players who made errors but the comments are as much as to why Grix returned straight away and I can't for the life in me see how his return strengthened the side.
Let's forget this 'tosh' about finishing in the eight it ain't gonna happen we signed an exciting prospect to play full back he should learn on the field and gives us genuine pace something we are short of so why is he sat in the stands watching Grix ??

Think this is exactly the point people are making, Jerry and others do make mistakes, but we haven't bought replacements for them, just to sit them in the stand, It makes no sense at all to me, obviously does to PA though.

| Me and my dad said against Saints 'Watch it grix will cost us a try from a dropped high ball' and he did, no scapegoat at all, he does it all the time, that's why people keep mentioning it. Full back is not the place for someone who struggles under pressure or has the dropsies, sometimes you can visibly see his confidence drain after he makes his usual mistake. I have no idea why he is back in the side.
Don't rate him, some do, opinions are not fact, so it's pointless me telling someone else they are wrong, ill just let people have their opinions and ill stick to mine.
