Stupid is sometimes more preferable than being deluded......but hey-ho, keep on keeping on.

Yet he has got us playing better than a long time.

Can’t quote again so….as TnT said about dislike…he was Smiths right hand man with Gene when the hammerings was has happening and is still in contact with him,his quotes in paper about Balmfourth,but not any other player and as HF said he wanted Houghton to play his 450th game even though he wasn’t fit.He is championship level

That isn’t bloody hard tbh…since Smith left he has been given better players but still has the same points won as Smith and Smith beat London.Ok,the hammerings have stopped for now and why did he tinker with the team for wire.Hope Cartwright brings in his own people….how much of this “playing better” is down to Grix…maybe Cummins and Ellis have been more involved??

I think a lot of this starts from I don’t like Grix? Then find reasons to back it up. I might be wrong. He’s got playing better he’s improved the defence massively. Yes Smith won an equal amount of games but that’s a false comparison as everyone knows. The Houghton thing whilst you could criticise it it shows a human side. People have been wondering why Balmforth wasn’t playing and to his credit Grix refrained from saying why. Damned if you do damned if you don’t. Then there is crediting others for our improvement - he’s the head coach! I say all this as someone has to defend him. Tony Smith is a good resource for him at the moment but Grix makes the decision now. He’s done ok. Don’t get the negativity after our early season poop?

Grix was probably in the wrong place at the wrong time, to take up the poison chalice.

The guy seems pretty honourable to me, if a little blunt, and anyone taking that role in the mess we were in was going to cop it, with hindsight Frannie Cummins would probably have been a better choice, his communication and knowledge of the game certainly comes across well.

But both inexperienced in this high pressure position, and all in all, Grix has steadied the ship, and in very difficult circumstances achieved as much as he could.
