Quote: Code13 "Jerry drops the ball in the collision every other hit up it seems'"



He does lose the ball in the tackle sometimes, Not as often as Tai but they both put some effort into it. Grix has his good sides to his game, Taking the ball up and tackling are not amongst them, It's a matter of If the advantages outweigh the disadvantages with most fullbacks, They cant all be Steve Prescott's or Gary Connolly's.

Totally agree, We might see some class players " which I welcome" we might not, but they will be at the clubs who already win everything, so I don't see much changing.

Quote: Mad_Jack_Mcmad "Grix has been one of our top 4 tackle busters for the last 4 seasons. Quite an achievement for someone who is scared of being tackled, no?

There are many reasons why the team may adopt a tactic of dropping the wingers back to receive a dump off from the FB.

It could be because Smurph and Jerry are very effective runners. It could be because Grix is our best support runner (he used to be the only player who would follow Fuey even though everyone must've known he was likely to offload) and so he is better following those two in case they offload. More than likely though it's because he is a much better passer from dummy half than either Smurph or Jerry and so gives us an extra option over than a scoot as second tackle when taking the ball out of our own half.'"


You have presented a point which I cannot argue against, so I accept I was wrong. I rescind my previous comment on Grix.

It's one of the reasons I think this forum for Giants fans is great. A chance to put your view forward and at the same time give others a chance to change your mind - I know the forum has challenged and changed my point of view at times! I had to laugh last night when we agreed 100% on another thread but completely disagreed on this one (thankfully others were more eloquent than me on this one!).

Somewhere in the dust of time rest the bones of the Galilean He who was spat upon. He whose face was marred beyond all human likeness Somewhere buried among the lies of the past rests the tomb of Yeshua Of he who was made God in a world without Hope. And when this son of Joseph is found. What then will the Church of Rome say? Prepare yourself for the day is coming. And men will say "Blessed are the wasted lives who perished in the flames of the holy war":

That's very magnanimous of you. I second the eusa_clap.gif

As long as Scott Grix is contracted to - and long after he has left - Huddersfield Giants RLFC there will be mixed opinions on him...we know that throughout his career with us.
Same to a point with Paul Anderson now, some think he's taken us as far as he can while others think we haven't had the best yet and are happy with what is happening at the club ie Full time Academy = more homegrown talent etc.

Either way as fans of the club all we can do is support both blokes while they wear those famous colours of ours !!

Tomorrow is the next big game and Wigan are a side we often do well against, If we front up like we did first half last week I'm optimistic. Can't be there unfortunately but might get a bit of radio if I'm lucky, Can you pick up Radio Leeds on West coast ?.

No- but you can listen to radio Leeds online. If you don't have that option Might be better trying to pick up a local Wigan station. - diesnt look like BBC Lancashire is doing it.

By big game game i mean in a play off game or cup game.

yes the league games are very important to get us too them and the next 3 games are going to go along way to whether we finish in the top 4, unfortunately our injuries have come at just the wrong time icon_frustrated.gif

up against it tomorrow cant see us winning but hope we do. warrington next too!

The whole match is being covered on BBC Radio Five Live Extra. If you can't get a digital radio try BBC Mancester or Wish FM.

Thanks for that but didn't get to hear any of it in the end, Sounds to have been a game of two halves again though reading the thread.
