I have to say, i think Scott Grix is turning into one of the top full-backs in Super League.

Played well, especially considering he got sparked by an elbow just before half time.

Got to say I have been impressed with what I've seen of him this season.

Agreed. I was in disbelief when it was announced he was going to be our FB for the season but he has proved me wrong.

Well done Scott

Very solid but not too brilliant in attack yet. I thought there may be more mention of the elbow by Roberts. I saw it at the time and thought he should have been penalised.

it could also have been a penalty for holding down, players all the time kick out/ throw arms around whilst getting tackled/ getting up and now and again somebody kops one

This. Players are always flinging their arms/legs about to get up as quickly as possible.

Indeed it was only a few weeks ago at Castleford that Eorl Crabtree caught Paul Jackson in the side of the head with a stray boot.

He is very dangerous. Him and Robinson were the main threats from the oppositions point of view.

not disagreeing with you fella, we were just slowing the game down to the limit and grix caught an arm.. it happens

Grix was without doubt one of Nathan's shrewdest buys. Hugely underrated player, he's one of those guys who never lets you down and can compete in a variety of positions. I've been a big fan ever since he was at Wakey and starred for Ireland in the WC. He has the look of a natural fullback. Brett who?

he looks good under the high ball, a lot better than roberts who had a poor first half dealing with broughs very high bombs

He did not get sparked by an elbow it was a Huuds players head that did the damage .

that must have been after elbow hit him then.

eddie or stevo did say that it could have beena head clash with his own player?..my picture wasnt clear enough to get a good enough view

Nah was definately an elbow. Roberts was just trying to flip over to get the defenders off him and caught him square in the jaw. Unfortunate.

I've said from the very start that he will come into his own playing permanently at full back, very please and happy for the guy as he always gives 100%. I see a 2-3 year extension coming his way in the next few months.

As for the elbow incident, was sat fairly close and it looked to hit him in the eye for me - though I had had a few by that point

so will have to watch it on the replay.

He was MoM for mine.

Defensively as sound as a pound and begining to develop a good attacking game. Mr consistent athe minute. Superb so far. I was realy worried when he went off. gald he is alright.

Great under the high ball, looks very self assured, and what I like about him is that he'll take the hits too which is something Brett didn't do when returning the kick.

Brett was awesome, but Grix is not far behind and will improve.

Definitely my MOM. In the most pressure game so far , he was coolest personified. His performance under those bombs must be giving confidence to the rest of team and oppositions are going to have find something better than a high bomb to him on the 5 th. Defensively brilliant. And best he has been linking into attack so far this year, and hopefully more of this to come.
His best giants performance.

is this guy better than brett under the high ball?! not dropped one yet!

been brilliant for us this season so far, big relief when he came back out for second half

I think that was more to do with Brough's excellent kicking rather than anything else. Grix looked good but I think he would have struggled with those huge bombs too.

We said in the car on the way home he looked very good. Impressed by him last night.

remember when it was announced that brett was leaving,and there was mass panic on here over who we would sign to replace him,a few of us though assured everyone that grix would be number 1 and would be a more than adequate replacement.

brett who??
