I for one don’t agree that Grix should go. He has been our best coach in years. Also, who would replace him. Look at he Bulls. When JK was sacked it took them ages to appoint Dunning. Who has now been replaced by Greenwood as temp coach and doesn’t want the full time job (due to his full job out of RL)
Although the Bulls are no longer a big SL team and are a mid table championship side their name still carries some quedos yet no one of any well known name (that we know of) applied for the job and who has applied for the new roll? I think we are OK with Grix at the moment. When he is interviewed his style is to be calm and measured. I’m sure on the training field he is as loud and passionate about the game and Halifax Panthers as anyone of us. I’m glad he’s not Ashton.

Long been an advocate of him going..everything was set up for us this season and he's got it all wrong again with all the same old failings...

Dropping Dorro constantly when by far the best forward signing he made
chosing to play Maher who is shocking to put it politely

plenty of reasons he is not good enough

I've never known a coach have such a lack of knowledge or belief in the forward signings he's made.

Its just a really strange situation, Springer has been discussed to death on here but you don't have to watch him for more than a couple of games to see that he can look a bit lazy so when all of a sudden it comes out that he is also lazy in training it's not really a big shock is it? What he does give you though with his size and power is somebody who is capable of producing offloads for fun and getting your team on the front foot. Ironically it's something we have lacked throughout Grix reign. The King situation was equally bizzare as someone who can look so good playing for another team is suddenly made out to be a bit of a scapegoat and ends up asking to leave as he can no longer play under Grix. Doro is obviously very raw, you can see that how he plays but its easy to see the potential is there but again he has been made to be the fall guy with more rumors of a lazy player and will likely leave come the end of the season if we don't have a change of coach.

Who is doing research on these players? I would imagine Grix has a lot of respect through the British game but something is not quite right when so many players are brought in by a coach and then basically declared "not good enough".

Lets not forget though on the flip side Keyes, Jouffret, Gee, Lannon, Walmsley he has also brought in some tremendous talent that has allowed us to play some really good rugby. I think he has a big ask to turn it around from this point although a trip to Wembley would likely save him if the league form continued to be iffy. In all my time watching Fax I can't remember a coach turning it around from this point and the closest I can think of was Matt calland who did seem to divide the fanbase but eventually did go.

Just to mention Aston, I think we all agree as an opposition coach he comes acrross as an but as a coach he seems to have the knack of getting the best out of players and has done wonders at Sheffield. I just couldn't see us been in 6th place if he were in charge though and that is the biggest issue I have at the moment, I think we have under performed massively and given how bad Toulouse have been we really should have walked 2nd place this year if we were to improve on last season like a lot of us expected. As it is it has been an error strewn and indisciplined season with the discipline issue another legacy of Grix's reign and something he has not been able to do anything about.

Hope O'brien can play half-back..

Grix interview now up on FB and he sounds defeated and says we are way off the standards that we tried to set at the beginning of the season. Next step after this is usually going off on the players in an interview.

Didn't realise Pickersgill didn't even get on. Questions need to be asked about that signing as well.

Depends which O'brien it is

Yes it looks like o'brien will be joining us on loan with a view to a longer stay. I did hear that we are trying to get him on a permanent deal for next year replacing wood. But as much as i rate him as a hooker i do not think he would be a good half back and neither is wood so i find this signing a bit strange considering the players we already have who can play 9 basically we need a halfback while Joe is out injured.

ABSO*******LUTELY.

He sounds thoroughly p****d off - not sure what tone people want him to take - he's often criticised on here for sounding as though he doesn't care - but then gets criticised when he obviously does. Grix very rarely blames individuals for losses, but he's understandably getting frustrated at individual errors. I accept that Pickersgill situation is strange - only real reason for having him on the bench would have been to allow JWH to move into the halves if things weren't working - he does say he wasn't happy with the halves - so to not use him is confusing to say the least.

I was gonna write a big speech but tbh I’ve come to the conclusion’ you can’t educate pork ‘ nothing wrong with Grixs coaching just need a few intelligent leaders on the pitch to keep us composed and cut out the errors , hence the signing of Adam obrien.

Just listened to the Grix interview who has highlighted the problem, unfortunately too many fans with the equivalent iq of sloth from the goonies can’t relate and listening to an educated reasonable overview of what’s going on merely flies over there head quicker the synapses in their brain can say ‘ where’s my next pint of tetleys ‘ and ooh er Grix out .

What a pr!ck you are..I joined to hear differing views of the going’s on rather than some clown telling everyone they’re thick as pig cause they don’t share your largely misguided views.

Here we go with the usual keyboard warrior bull , half o f it’s tongue in cheek , because I’m sick to death of people crying because we’ve lost a couple of games and our season is over , bloody pathetic, you wanna go down the route of calling people pricks that’s fine but expect a slap in the face when i see you .

I'm going to mark you down as undecided over the Grix situation then.

I can see a scenario where Grix leaves to perhaps be an assistant coach for maybe tony smith at hull , did hear another horrible rumour that woodburn hall is going to cas with the possibility of widdop coming the other way as player coach. Hope it’s not true tbh .

To me that's quite an appealing scenario.Wouldn't want Woody to go,but probably at stage where it's now or never for a deserved s/l shot.Widdop could be the Murrell we've struggled
to recreate and Smith's a long standing fan of Grix.

I’d like the idea of widdop come my here but only as an assistant coach. I think a person being a play and the head coach never really works. It’s too much for a player, who is on the pitch, to think about everything going on. JWH is a great player at this level I would have reservations if he was able to perform week after week at SL.

Grix says we need intelligent leaders. Widdop fits that bill.

Strong rumour that Evalds leaving Cas that would leave them in the market for a fullback - think JWH definitely has the skills to play in superleague- and with Lingard being there now can see it being a possibility. Selfishly would be gutted to see him go as think he's best fullback in the championship- usually rock solid at the back and brilliant linking up in attack. Would think his performance against Saints won't have done him any harm. In 2 minds about Widdop - obviously a class player but it's no good if your biggest earner is going to miss half the season injured - just ask Bradford.

Liam finn for me . Good news ref adam o'Brien

I have heard that cas are interested in both Woody and Walmsley but they are both contracted for us until the end of next season with no super league release clause so if they was to leave some deal would have to be worked out. And grix as had offers to be a assistant at more than one super league club but turned them down because there would not of been a route for him to one day be head coach at these clubs.

It was shrewd business getting our key players tied down till 2024 , I think all our spine players plus walmsey are top end championship players borderline superleague standard, I think Grixs’ situation as well as some of our better players futures depend on the success of this season. If we sort ourselves out and hit some form it’s not inconceivable to be challenging fev in the grand final . I’ve not given up hope yet.

I’m gonna start charging commission.
