| I think we all know it's last chance for him, reduce the weight and he will get injured less.
Does he have the motivation though, he has done it before, let's see what happens.

That's all we can do. I am hoping that a new coach, new (hopefully) environment and culture, and a new set of strength and conditioning staff will motivate him. But a lot will be down to the man himself.
Same can be said for all the squad really. We know they have had issues but I genuinely believe the club are making and continue to make good appointments to address things. But the club can only do so much and the rest will be down to the players buying into it and their self motivation.

| Grix going down the 'need to put an effort in for Carlos and Houghton' angle as this week's motivation technique

that's fine for him as an individual but the club have recruited him into a key position for next season. If he doesn't get in shape he should be sacked

There's a long list to choose from.

I don't think he has. Even when he got picked for England after producing the form of his career he was overweight but at least it didn't affect his performances. I don't like to criticise individual players but watching him last week was embarrassing. I've never seen a half back as overweight as him even before the full time days. He must be 3 stone overweight at least.
This is not fat shaming because his job is a professional athlete who should take responsibility for his physique not only for himself but for good of the team.
It frustrates because with the talent he has he should be one of the best half backs in SL.
God knows what Cartwright and the conditioning team think of him. Maybe the only solution is to fine him like they do to footballers even when they are only a few pounds overweight because dropping him doesn't seem to work.

| Since the start of August our average score is roughly 8 - 44.
Don't think any of us will be in any way surprised if that's the final score tomorrow.
Catalans seem to have a few issues in scoring of late, but I'm sure we will be more than helpful to cure them of any lingering problems in that department!
By 5pm Saturday we can all try to forget that the past seven months really did happen and go and do something else infinitely more enjoyable, at least until next February when the merry-go-round will start all over once more.

fining him for being overweight could be a good income generator for the club

| It comes as no real surprise given the current state of the club and i appreciate that pretty much everyone associated with the club just wants the season over, however i cannot help but think the build up to what is going to be the last game for the greatest player we have had in the modern era has been poor.
A game against Catalans would be the perfect opportunity to put a ticket offer on, or tickets to school kids in the north stand, its such a shame that Danny (along with Carlos)'s last game is going to be played in front of around 7K supporters who realistically will be begging for the full time whistle.

On the basis that every negative has a positive you may well be right.

I'll be there not because I want to but because I feel I have to. No doubt sat there counting down the clock wishing it will end as quickly as possible.
Even through these dark days there's always hope on the horizon.

To be fair to the club there they've done a few tickets deals already this year and if you do too many it annoys the Pass Holders.
I'd rather we get the team into some sort of order before we start trying to lure newcomers and lapsed fans back.
