Baloo said on the radio that the whole team were amazed at some of the things he was doing, so it seems he has done some training with the 1st team.

jared plays again !!!

The examiner interview with jared was rather good. He came across very well! Rather humble and thanked Scott grix for helping him. Mentioned he expected Scott to take back the spot from him but not dishearted!

In my opinion contract length, loyalty, experience, ect should all be put the side for form.

When grix came in for Connor he chimed into the line good support play but that is no watched and sussed in each of the last few games. He is marked and as he isn't running with conviction and looking for the pass as an extra pivot often left with no where to go but the floor.

Jared came in and delt with high bombs as well as grix,
One on one situations better than grix, ran the ball back hard rather than looking for a winger, had a step, dooked and dived. Just looked lively and to be enjoying the chance!

For me we should keep him in! The experience will do him the world of good and if I had to choose who was likely to do more for the team at the moment it's him!

Also would say wires kicking game isn't as good as Wigans so should be less pressure on him.

Great news!

How do you know he is playing on sunday?

a little birdie ...

I don't mind either way. It looks like Ellis is back in over wood.
If Grix plays he will join the attack, if jared plays wire don't have the info on him.

Grix is too predictable these days, Wigan struggled to handle him as he was an unknown quantity....same with Wire, they will have seen him against Wigan though so will have a better idea of what he's gonna do....hopefully he can put on another good show !

Exactly rite! Grix is watched well and makes little difference at the min when coming into the line!

I can assure you Jools Tony Smith will know quite a lot about Jared!!

My only issue is that we will play Simpson for so long then when the going gets tough he'll be automatically replaced for the experience of Grix regardless of wether he has earned the right to play on.

Connor made a few defensive errors at fullback in the early rounds and got dropped for Grix. This could just be a repeat.

As things stand experience is too valuable at the moment as we are trying to grab the top 4. Grix has it and even if Simpson takes his chances, I don't think he'll be playing if we lose a couple more.

I'm a big Grix fan.. But think it's a bloody shame if Simpson doesn't get week in and out SL Action if he earns it.

He's played one game wish people would put things into perspective.

True Stella. Remember Elliot Morris, MOM display against Saint Helens....

Totally agree but was he not called Elliot Hodson now playing for Huddersfield RUFC.
