Grix in my opinion is making huge strides to becoming an excellent player for us he has improved 80% since we first got him, he looks stronger (well done Colin) , He looks faster and has a better brain. It was a quality pass by him for that first try. Slowly but surely this lad is developing into a good first team player and I think a bit more work he will be a quality stand off. The World cup looks to have gave him a spring in his step and he looks like a senior player out there for us. With performances like this Rooney in my opinion will struggle two get his name back on the team sheet. Keep going Grix good stuff!!!

Grix is a star, and was of the same opinion for the 2nd half of last season - seems he can play in almost any position and still shine. Has the knack of just popping up in the right place at the right time too.

Great acquisition by JK

When I posted the thread asking the question should Grix be our starting No. 6 the majority of posters agreed.

He showed at the WC that he is brave, dependable, talented and a good reader of the game.

Considering how relatively inexperienced Grix is, at playing in this position at the top level, just think how good he can get



After his performance against Wigan it would be hard to justify picking Rooney ahead of him when he returns to fitness.

shhhhhhhhhh dont tell everyone let them find out to there cost

Would deffo like to have his brother with with us as well

What i like about Grix, is his determination, work ethic and support play. I get the feeling he is very much a team player and very unselfish. He seems very determined and self motivated.

The lad has a bright future

why would it make him any better, they would probably fall out siblings normally do

80% ??????????????????

And you arrived at that figure by what means NGB4C or is it ITOIFE?










(I thought of it first Einstein)

Grix had an excellent WC, imo he could go on to be a real star of sl, i've been very impressed with his performances <when i bobbed down on 7 occasions to watch my "second team", at BV last season!>

This kid is class and he can also play anywhere in the backline with equal tremendousness<that's a new word ive just invented>

I like him because he backs himself all the time. Does'nt always work but I don't care because the more he does it the better he will get and the more specatacular will be the results.

Luckily he is also physically well built, strong, tall enough and with a decent turn of pace. Can't really go wrong with that if your attitude is good.

That said he is not and never will be a F/B, because his achilles heel is his discomfort under the bomb and I don't think that will improve.

percentages mean nothing do they unless its a pay rise

Grix showed a lot of potential last year, but seems to have returned even hungrier.

Has anybody else noticed that NGBC has done a constructive positive post....



Or am I missing something between the lines?

45% says he has

Or is it 43%???
Damn these statistics 47%

Worth a shout in the halves over Rooney, looks like he wants to take the line on, good support player (like Rooney)...but the critical difference is that Grix still has a bit of pace. Worth a punt.

hes more than a bit of pace, the day broughy took out jenson last year grix flew over to cover him I couldn't believe the speed he does have, my eyes was fixed on grix,as broughy was coming towards us

Grix was excellent on Sunday(along with Drew) and seems to have gained alot of confidence from his superb preformences for Ireland in the world cup.

He could well be the next player targeted to change his 'nationallity' back to English if he keeps this form up.

Well played Sunday by the way...............we were lucky not to get beat by more.

I dont think Rooney is slow I just think he hasnt any ideas hes a dithering wreck in attack these days and his main outlet is that appauling inside ball.

For me hes our best player.

Better than Drew, Brough and Obst - come on

Could be true at some point in time though, Grix was pretty much consistently good in a variety of positions last season and he seems to have kicked off well this year.

Could be, but he isn't yet. I can't say he is and then say Westerman isn't - in both cases a way to go.
