cant say ive seen much of scott grix,he seems to have been substitute for huddersfield a lot this season.hes obviously versatile.

Any halfback we bring in will not be a backup, dont forget that this is Horne and Long we're talking about.......

Whoever comes in will be a firstchoice starter by week 3

He had a great game against us at the KC in our first home game of the season, scored as well I think. He'd be a decent signing IMO.

I thought Grix played mostly at 13 and the occasional 9 this season.

he can play a number of positions,but was always going to find it hard to play half back for huddersfield as they are flush with them.

Grix is a good Utility back, I would be happy for him to sign, but hopfully we will still look to sign a halfback from overseas eveb if he signs.

Grix is a decent player and wouldn't be a bad signing by any means, but he's never a halfback in a million years, can play stand off but if Long get injured we would be back to square one, we have Whiting, Berro, Tansey, Washbrook and Nicklas who can cover there, we need someone who can play 7 to a decent standard.

If/when Horne gets injured I hope we use Nicklas as the first option, thats his postion, much better to play him there than a player out of position, if he gets a chance at 6 next season i think he might suprise a few people.

Full time training should benifit him massivley next year.

luke robinson would be a good signing but i can't see it happening. even though long and horne will probably miss a few games, robinson doesn't strike me as someone who would want to play 2nd fiddle. plus we'd have to pay a transfer fee and that seems like a long shot too

I agree , We'd just be signing a player no better than what we currently have within the squad imo.

Grix actually looked very good attacking wise yesterday in the halves for Ireland V France in a heavily beaten team.

Showed variety in both his passing game and kicking game. Far more of a half back then any of our current cover players IMO.

Do we really need another utility player though ? Grix may well be useful in a number of positions but we need a specialist HB or preferably two of them. (and at least one prop). (Centre wouldn't go a miss either)

I don't disagree he is better then what we have, if I'm honest I think he is a better stand off then Horne, I just think if we are bringing someone in for cover it needs to be an put and out scrum half, because if Long is out it would mean Horne or Berro at 7 which hasn't worked in the past.

I agree. I wouldnt stop at just bringing one cover half back in I would bring in a 6 and 7 to act as cover.

We simply can not be left in the same situation we found ourselves in last season with a hooker and a loose forward running our attack.
