Grix not mentioned at all in the article about Balmforth.If it wasn’t for Hos and Myler stepping in,I think he would have gone as Grix seemed to pick him out for his chats in the wail.Like Dave K said,there is something about Grix and a couple of workmates don’t like him either,hopefully he will go at end of season back to the championship.

Do you think the relationship Grix has with Tony Smith maybe colours his views at all? As in the recent interview on SKY he was saying how he still asks Tony Smith for advice etc.

I imagine that once Cartwright arrives he will set his stall out very early, if he doesn't prior to his arrival, I get the feeling that it will be known he is the boss and there will be standards expected as well as other aspects everyone will have to meet. So whether Grix is here or not next season I think it's fair to say he will have clear instruction on what is required and his role.
I would say that with it being reported Cartwright had a big influence on the decision to sign Balmforth demonstrates him being in charge even before he's arrived.
Cartwright doesn't appear to be a Coach that suffers fools gladly and is a very well versed and knowledgeable Coach currently playing his trade at the highest level in the game of RL.

What is it about Grix to dislike? He was thrown in at the deep end had to work with people he hadn’t signed up to do - staff and players and has helped the clubs early renaissance. For me that’s all positive. I guess it’s down to Cartwright wanting him or not. I think he deserves to stay. The players like him

I don't want Grix here next season purely for saying 'He's been at this club for a long time, and on his 450th appearance, I wanted to give him that gametime' about Houghton after the Castleford game. A shocking mentality to have that cost us a chance at winning that game.

Grix is too much of a Smith sympathiser
