I think Grix has been good and is clearly the only vocal one when we are behind the posts, as such I'd want to fit him in somewhere but also I would like to see Max back in the team as he and TJ clearly know and work well with each other.
Is Grix still capable of playing in the halves if we also have Finn in the team as well for options?

Could we try:

Jowitt -
Johnstone
Arundel
Tupou
Jones-Bishop
Grix
Williams
Huby
Finn
Allgood
Ashurst
Hadley
Arona

Wood
Fifita
Hirst
Batchelor

Why are people so intent on dropping Grix or moving his position to fit Max in?

Yes Max is a talented kid but Grix has probably been our best player this season, leave him where he is and let him keep doing what he has been doing.

I suspect its as much a change in attitude required from Friday as much as playing staff. We looks out of sorts compared to first four games.

Why haven't you announced your massive injury crisis yet ? , everybody else has before,during and after playing us

Because at the minute Tom J is not getting the ball that he was getting last year and Max provided quite a few of those as they appeared to have a good understanding between them. That may also be partly due to his centre partner.
I'd like to see Max back in the team for that reason, but would also agree that Grix has been one of our best so far this season, which is why I suggested leaving him in but possibly moving him. That and the fact that Miller/Williams is not quite clicking as a partnership at present.

DK is up before the disciplinary with a Grade A charge, NFA to 1 match, the charge is high tackle-careless-ball carrier dips.
Arona was given 'no charge' and Miller was the laughable one - 'Opponent slips before making contact. Player making legitimate attempt to tackle. Arm does not come above horizontal and contact is open-handed. Penalty sufficient'. The RFL didn't want to say that the referee got it wrong and that the penalty given was wrong.

must win game if we are going to make top 8

Leigh are not getting too much credit for winning their games atm, just as we usually dont.
Every team they have beaten has "had an injury crisis" and they have been given little credit for winning.

We need our forwards to do their job in the middle of the park.
After the superb defence for the first 20 minutes, Leeds started to make easy yards and went straight up the middle. They didn't need anything too fancy to make 70/80 metres each set.
This will certainly have to improve and I would certainly try giving Johnstone a different centre to work with, his opportunities have been very limited this season, although, most teams are attacking down our left and with some success and this may be being done to negate his attacking threat.

Leigh will go into the game as favourites and it's whether we can stop their forwards playing.

Wakey are favourites with most bookies. One thing for sure Leigh will come fired up and get in our faces. We need to stand up a damn sight better than we did last friday or it will be a long night. If we do that then i feel we are the better team on paper and fancy us to get the points.

Be a nice change me backing someone with positive odds. It's been 1/2 and 1/3 for all our opponents so far.

Wakefield are a much better team than pundits give them credit for.
From a Leigh perspective, our away form hasn't been tested against a team we should have a chance of winning.
Hopefully it will be a good game.

Make no mistake, Leigh are coming to give us a game, what they lack in quality players they more than make up for in enthusiasm, commitment and work ethic.
This is Leigh, they'll love the Sky cameras and will be outrageously confident in front of them, I think right now after last weeks complete miss read, beating Leigh will be a better win than Salford.
St Helens ?....nah, even at their's, they didn't turn up for 40 minutes, we made that one close
