Playing Grix all over the shop was his downfall in his first stint at the club.

Playing him at fullback or leave him out.

Ive thought this for a month now, but has someone hacked your account? You’re like a different man, or was that just with me?

A full back is a pivotal position I don't think Jowett is the answer and it's certainly not Grix. Both have glaring weaknesses.

I would hazard a guess that as with the rest of the squad, for the money we pay them we are getting a good rate of return. All full backs have weaknesses, it’s just that the ones that play for the top sides either have less of them, or they aren’t exposed as much because they are generally controlling games.

The ones that play for the top sides tend to be paid much more than our budget will allow, which is why we have to accept that the ones we have are good value for a club in our position money wise

Grix at loose forward? That's taking the armchair coaching too far. When he came in at the end of 2016 I saw him as a direct replacement for Craig Hall as a utility back. Turns out he's given us far more than I thought.

The Grix to loose forward thing as a symptom of where we've come from.

We used to be in a position where we had 4-5 good quality players with a smattering of quite good players. In that team you play good players out of position to get the best out of the team.

In our team now we have very good players in every position with good backup too.
If we need a 13 we can play Arona, Horo and Annakin who are very good in that position.......and all lead the tackle count when they play (bar Ashurst), We don't need to change it.

Plus Randell

Crowther should get the 13 shirt ahead of Grix as well.
I still cant fathom where SP was coming from with the Grix loose forward idea

He's trying to shoehorn his brains on to the field, nothing wrong with that but 13 is a bit of a stretch.
I don't really get the objections to putting him where he's supposed to be.
Jowitt has been fine but I don't see him as a shoe-in, don't see Grix as a shoe-in either, its 6 of 1 and half a dozen of the other.
Who plays the next game ?
Well without the benefit of the coaches eye and internal matters, I'd give Grix a run, sleeping with one eye on the fact he hasn't played competitively for 3 months, but I won't be wetting my pants of Jowitt stays in.

At this moment, it will be down to the fitness and form of both players and what the plans are for next season and beyond.
Not sure how long Grix is contracted for but, now that the chance of glory is over for this season, the time is right for Chester & Co to be sorting out what will be best for the club, team and players next season.

It would be good to see some of our future prospects getting some game time.
Obviously this can only be the odd player getting a game but, surely, now is the time to try them and perhaps rest anyone who is busted.
Having said that, we still want to finish the season reasonably well so it's going to be a balancing act.

Are you saying it’s a well run club and MC is doing a amazing job signing the players he has done???

Interesting times, when a loss to Saints creates a forum based fantasy hiring and firing spree, and a total reorganisation of the team from the various armchair experts; I guess it's a sign of the bar being raised sufficiently that being good but sometimes not quite good enough, is disappointing. That's what happens when you put the best squad in years out on the pitch.

If this carries on, we'll end up like Leeds or Wigan fans, with expectations so high, that everyone hates us.

To be fair, despite both scoring well this year, we hardly do.
