That’s a bit of a conclusion to draw from such a distance. I’d like to think they are operating as a team. Seems to be going ok so far. It’s difficult for Grix knowing that in a couple of moves he won’t be head man and has an unclear future. How would we feel in our jobs in such a situation?

Going that well that Grix has the same points won as Smith.”IF” Grix does leave Balmforth out v salford then we will know the answer,He is interim head man and would have a idea he may not be needed.Aren’t all jobs a unclear future…I go back on full-time work Monday after months of having Fridays off then changed to Mondays off.

Wonder if Degsy will have a moan about the reserves result.

Might be mad that we announced the score without his permission.

the score won’t stand as we only played our own players and not brought any in as we are safe…..Have a look Derek what a proper acedemy and reserve team look like and you wonder why Brad O’Neil is staring for Wigan eh.

Cokey's anti Leigh detector will be going mad.

You well know we are playing much better than under Smith more a rl team than aschool team. My job is steady. Why are we making a fuss about a squad not even thought of yet? Can’t we be hopeful Balmforth will play?

Feels like we are giving Okunbor the cold shoulder so he wants to go home, but I'd still be tempted to give him a try at centre as a final roll of the dice.

Tbf to him the club was a basket case at the start of the season even a SOO player would have looked lost. Also he does seem to have gone well at Bradford and done what was asked of him.

We have got more players in after Smith left and il give you we are playing better but we still have Wigan x2 Catalans x2 Sts to play so see what happens then,we hope Balmforth is in the squad but wouldn’t surprise me if he wasn’t…we will agree to disagree about Grix but a good debate all the same.

He played and got sin binned for a high shot. Plus ça change.

The Ock in contention for Salford.

Grix is part of the process of getting more players. Folk seem to be grumpy about Balmforth not being selected when there has been no suggestion of such. I would like Ock to get a lookin given his form is better, we have paid loads for him and we’re a bit short on numbers?

I'd rather use Cartwright/Jebson/Chan/Gardiner to cover the loss of Sao, Scott and Ashworth than see Okunbor back.

He’s back, found a bit of confidence on loan and coming into a better team. Give the bloke a shot.

He’s probably got 3-4 weeks to save his Hull career, surely that’s a motivator and it gives Cartwright a chance to see him in a Hull system
