Grix was one of a number of players that were well under par !!! However the ball strip is a common problem recently for Scott Grix hence my comment about it as recurring problems are something the coach should address !!!

However Ivor here is a list of players I thought the same about from my view point in the well in order to be fair to Mr Grix.

Ferres, Crabtree, Kopjack, Ferguson, Brough in the second half was anonymous, Dwyer, Faiumu, and Lawrence who fails to deliver any go forward at all !! You can't just pick a man because he tackles !!!

However to return to my point about Mr Grix this is the third/fourth time he has been picked in his own 20 and each has cost 6 pts within two tackles and in a 7 pt game it swings the balance.

Yes there were lots of errors and indiscipline which put HKR on the front foot but in most cases it was not a recurring theme !!!!

I fully agree with you that Grix had the ball stripped from him, ie stolen, with 3 or 4 KKR players in the tackle. So how can that be Grix's fault????

You slam a player for having a foul committed against him?

I will stand up for any player who gets constant criticism based on scapegoating.

And I'm not?

Disagree re Lawrence. Just as you can pick a player for what he offers in attack you can do the same in defence. Attack is built around three or four pivotal players who the rest of the team feed off. I reckon defence is fairly similar. If you spread your best defenders out equally across the pitch it enables the poorer defenders to be placed alongside them and not put in a position to make as many tackles. Anyone who makes 50 tackles a game is a value to the team. That is not to say he shouldn't be looking to improve with ball in hand.

oh dear here we go again over your lovechild mr grix!

i also singled out ferguson who was poor in my post.

gave praise to taai

and in other posts on threads mentioned crabtree who had a poor game too

regularly praise players on performances and give a balanced view on them if they have a good or bad game ill say so. including grix who i have praised for good games too.

Calm down folks please

Wasn't at the game but looks to me like Ferguson had a solid enough game.

Just a quick 1, I'm sure it has been discussed, but why was there game Friday night? 4 days after you'd played Saints, it wasn't on TV & KR always play their home games sunday?

Reading between the lines the performance was a combination of
1/ Tiredness
2/ Complacency
3/ Players thinking about their week off
4 / HKR playing very well ( apparently Travis Burns had his best game for HKR)

Nothing to worry about at the minute but would be nice to get Fielden back to rotate the pack a little bit and get ready for Leeds.

No one knows why it was on the Friday....but it had been down on that date since the fixtures came out apparently.

I would say

1. the other team played better than us.

The end.

was pretty poor, but not the only one. he even said himself he was disappointed in his own performance.

burns prob had his best game in a hull kr shirt!

fielden not far away now maybe bring him back for the catalans game if 100%
