And the latter point...yes it probably was the wrong call to defend an 8 pt lead for 25 mins...mind you, did you note Reece Lyne played the whole half injured as did Miller...maybe this influenced matters

Is there some kind of emperors new clothes thing going on with Grix? He's crap end of. Didn't even want to play fullback was reason he left if I remember rightly. Ignoring bombs, joining the line with 100mph grubbers to nobody. Awesome. That error was criminal at a professional standard, he had an eternity to deal with that kick but has probably blown our season. Other than the other no balls Mathers he's the worse full back I've seen down here Blaymire and Holland weren't awesome but did there jobs unlike this clown. Don't allow a young lad to leave to keep this has been please.

The line I watched the last kick on, he was going to kick it and it curved away from him right at the last second. He tried to get a hand on it and lost his footing, probably because he was about to kick it when it curved away. I like Max too. At Cas he fielded a really hard bomb that Grix might not have...then in 2nd half he dropped a little chip I could have caught. It led to a try that made no difference. I thnik you need to get a bit of balance here fellow supporter. Grix has made some great runs, run some great lines, given us loads of attacking options and has also been defensively good sometimes...but does have some dodgy moments I will concede. He was damn unlucky at the end from the angle I saw it at

Most of that is utter horse crap.
He left us in 2010 because he was a free agent.
He went to Huddersfield as a utility back in the season after when Brett Hodgson left for Warrington he established himself as first choice full back.
Our destiny is in our own hands still,you can pick out many occasions over the season that an individuals error has contributed to us not getting a win.Overall his contribution to a relatively successful season has been very good,Im sure young Jowitts time will come,but i also doubt we would still have our destiny in our own hands if Jowitt had been first choice this season rather than Grix and the people that are paid to make those decisions have a hell of a lot more knowledge of the game than you or me.

This

If Grixy had of handled that ball last night correctly we would have won the match and we'd pretty much be in the semis (oh how I have dreamed of seeing us get there)!

But without grix we'd not be in the great position we are in either, make no mistake the majority of the time he's being excellent for us, unfortunately the defensive mistakes he has made seem to be magnified some how

The droppped bombs at Salford springs to mind

Hopefully we'll get some luck in the coming weeks and it will be forgotten about
God knows we all deserve some luck

I did notice that they were struggling, so yes, it could have done.

That then brings the debate back in, why are we having a bench full of forwards. Could have played Brown, with Arundel dropping to bench, or put Williams on the bench

This.
Some very poor comments on twitter last night considering after Tupou I thought Scott was the best player on the field until that crucial error.
Brilliant performance to be proud of as a fan last night which made the result so much harder to take. Don't know if anyone saw Martyn Sadler 's comment but I thought it was very disrespectful.

You are a cretin!

Terrible thread - utterly shameful.

4th in SL - having an amazing season and certain cretins want a player sacked?

I'm pleased that apart from a couple of posters most realise how good Grix is and how valuable to the team he is.

It happened. Thats big important games or you. We live with it and move on.

Plenty of keyboard warriors on here who, I suspect, would probably poop their pants if they stepped on to a rugby league field.
Grix, overall, has been a huge positive for us this season and has made a massive contribution to us being 4th in the league. He made a mistake - all players do at some point. If it had been in the 10th minute it would have been forgotten by the 15th but because it happened in the 78th minute he's a coward and should be sacked. He's not the best full back in the world and he's definitely not perfect but, with two crucial league games to go he's got to be first choice. Unless of course CC decides otherwise (and I suspect his judgement on this matter will be a lot more valid than the opinions of forum posters)

Chris Chester said he wasn't the only problem in that last move and that he was the best signing he's made this year so I'm thinking Chester is ok with him playing.

Rightly so as well.
Grix helped create two of our scores last night and had a decent game at the back as well (apart from that moment).
Everyone was gutted with the way we lost last night but, Grix will be hurting more than anyone and he has earned our support.
If he scores 2 next week and we beat Hull, everything will be just fine

The OP makes an outrageous proposition; Grix played a near perfect game last night - contrast his performance with the marquee player Ben Barba, who was like a rabbit in the headlights under most kicks that went his way, and got absolutely skinned by Toups, off a run created by a Scott Grix pass. Granted, that error was at a crucial time in a crucial game, but he shouldn't have been put in that position in the first place - so for me, he remains one of our best players this season, and it's grossly unfair to pin that loss entirely on him.

I hate posts like this; in a season where we're still in top 4 contention, despite having the lowest salary bill in SL, to round on an individual player and refer to him as stealing a wage, is bloody shameful.

Just watched a video compilation on Facebook by his sponsor, it shows how superb he really has been this year for us

I'd sooner have him than someone like Barba who was poor again last night
