| Is he still with you lot or back with us? i noticed he returned to Quins last week due to us playing in the final which he wasnt entered in time for. He's been excellent during his loan spell and we would love him back, not sure why he isnt featuring for Quins but hopefully he can return.
Anybody know anything?
Cheers

Dont think he plays for us as he doesn't make any sort of impact coming of the bench.
Also we think he might of fallen out with BMc.

| He certainly didn't play on Saturday but I'm sure his name was in the pre-match squad of 19.
He's a relatively experienced Superleague player yet I don't think he's appeared at all in the first team this year, while we've sometimes used raw youngsters or loan signings instead, so clearly out of favour to put it mildly and not up for a contract renewal.

| He was in the squad, but didn't play. I don't think he is a Super League standard player to be honest.

He played about 15 mins against Saints earlier this year.

I think you've probably put your finger on it when you suggest that he may have fallen out with Brian McDermott.
In my opinion, he deserves to work with a coach who really appreciates his potential and can help exploit his talents to the full.

With my limited knowledge of RL even I could tell he was poor. Never rated him. Never will.

We'll have him back for the rest of the season then yeh? As vikingman said, he was excellent for us, scoring in the games he played.

| I think for whatever reason it hasnt worked out for him at Quins but he is more than welcome back at Widnes after a terrific loan spell. Welcome back big Jon.

| From the Widnes site-link above
Second row Jonny Grayshon, who played for Harlequins RL reserve side last weekend, has returned to the Vikings on loan for the remainder of the season.
O'Connor added, "Jonny's two appearances for us have shown the type of player he is and I would like to thanks ‘Quins Head Coach Brian McDermott for allowing him to return to the Stobart Stadium, Halton in a deal which will undoubtedly benefit both parties."

I guess this loan has improved the average strength of both squads

Dare I say that this is not a terribly helpful comment.
My only comment was that Jonny deserves the opportunity to work with a coach who can help develop his potential to the full.
You may not hold him in high regard, but at least our Widnes Viking contributor does.
Maybe a move to Widnes really is a useful step forward for all parties.
Presumably you'd be happy with the move.

Given the earlier feedback from Viking Man, it will be interesting to follow Jonny's progress at Widnes.

After watching him play for us, I've wasted enough time on him already.

I'm not questioning your impression of Jon Grayshon in any way. However, I do remember a home game last season when Brian McDermott brought Jon Grayshon on from the bench and then took him off after less than five minutes on the field, after he dropped the ball once.
You may say, "Good call by the Coach. Take him off."
However, I found myself wondering if this was the ideal way to build a player's confidence.
Hopefully, Jon Grayshon will be fare better at Widnes.

| Rugby league 56 are you a social worker or work in some other namby pamby Government dept?
Just curious- its funny how you create an impression of someone so early on these boards
Johnny G was not SL standard-period- sod confidence - if he cant hold a ball get rid. Not dissimilar to sunbed Sam Thompson who if you watched Barrow last night looked as if he had greased his hands before he went on-its a Widnes thing.

As it happens, I'm not a social worker and don't work in some other "namby pamby Government dept", as you put it.
Did you intend me to take your comment as a personal insult? In this context, having been advised separately, under the Brian McDermott thread, to read the AUP, I'm now wondering if your comment contravenes Policy 2.1, namely "Comments that are wholly designed to upset or cause distress to other members are prohibited on this site"?
For what it's worth, I subscribe to a couple of beliefs neatly summarised in two quotes from Ralph Waldo Emerson:
(1) "There is no limit to what can be accomplished if it doesn't matter who gets the credit."
(2) "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm."
I also try to see the best in people and situations. I find this more helpful than seeing the worst in people and situations.
So it's inevitable I would wish Jon Grayshon all the best at Widnes. After all, why would I wish him to fail there?
The good news is that he seems to have made an excellent start, if Viking Man is to be believed.
A fresh start, under a different coach, could be the best thing for Jonny.
Do you really want him to fail at Widnes? I find this hard to believe.

If I were a social worker or worked in some other namby pamby Government dept, what difference would this make to my participation on this forum?
Are social workers and namby pamby public servants somehow barred from being fans of Harlequins Rugby League?
