He hasn't settled down in any position yet. Maybe he needs a long run at number 6, which is probably his preferred position. If he is out of contract soon though, maybe he is worried about a contract and so is expressing his devotion to get him brownie points.

Felt a bit sorry for him this season. Was bigged up at the World Cup and since then has just covered for missing players in positions that maybe aren't his favourite.

Think if we could get him into the stand off role and get him some of the world cup form back we could have a pretty decent stand off, as he seems to always put effort in and try his hardest.

maybe you just worded it badly but putting effort in and trying your hardest do not equate to being pretty decent. i accept he has those qualities but i personally have seen nothing to make me think he is going to give us enough playing at stand off. i suppose it could be said he hasn't been given enough game time in that position to prove himself but how long can anyone be given?

they could be given at least 3 to 4 games. grix hasn't had anything like that time to settle in any position. imho.

He's been given long enough on the wing!
