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.
