thats the plan.

good luck grixy!

Terrible signing rubbish the first time back up full Back at best but Bjb is. Do not get this one at all wasting much needed cash on improving the team. Dissapointing

One thing is for sure Scott Grix and Keegan Hirst will not increase the season ticket sales or fan base.

As far as spending high levels of money on individual players, the club are capable of doing that. You only have to look at the amount we are throwing down the drain on Anthony Tupou.

Like someone said Grix is barely championship level nowadays, my humble opinion is that we could have done better.

Can't understand the 2 year deal seeing has he is 32 years old and will be 33 in a little over 7 months time.

Anthony Tupou has been disappointing but who would have predicted how his season has panned out? And who's to say that Grix on a lot less money, may prove to be excellent value?
As for Hirst, give him a chance.
After the season we had last season compared to this, people should be getting behind the club, not making more excuses for not buying ST.

IMO very poor example of forward planning. When Shudds were poaching players like Grix and Wood off us they were reaching their peak; Now we are signing them back some six years later. Not the sign of a club trying to move forward, I'm afraid.

You will not find a better organiser of the defensive line than grixy- if you talk to the giants players they all want him at their back. We have missed him massively this season when he's been injured we've gone from the best defensive sides to one of the worst as a result! He works hard and trains hard and one of the fittest in our side. He was one of the few guys in our squad this week not having to play for his survival but you wouldn't ever know it- a model professional.
He won't be scoring hat tricks every week(in the fastest ever time in SL

) but he will go a massively long way to ensuring no one will against you!

Wow!!! he sounds great, so why are you getting rid ?

Hope you prove to be right Jools.

Got my season ticket already as it's never dependent on signings.

Yep, too right and I got my season ticket the other year when we didn't even know which league we would be in.
Will be getting mine in due course.

I would imagine it's because Anderson thought he could make brierley into a fullback..... Stone had other ideas.

Whilst he wouldn't necessarily been my choice as a think he is comfortably past his best i can see why we have gone for him but what i don't get is why 2 years? That takes him well past his 34th birthday, surely a year would have been better and see how things are going after that.

Underwhelmed on this one to be honest and especially with the fact he has been given a two year deal. Heres hoping that we havent splashed the cash too much on this one and that more convincing signings are just around the corner.

I do though, however feel that we needed cover there and hope this signing prove me wrong.

If it is just as back up he may only play the odd game here and there.

He can cover various positons in the backs but unfortunately he isnt blessed with much pace these days

So why was he not re signed by Stone ?

I can remember that last fullback we got from Shudds and he was a great club favourite but turned out utter dross for us.

Grix may have all the mental qualities and be a great human being but his age means we are taking a massive unnecessary risk

FFS! I'm taking my season ticket back tomorrow.

I've no desire to stand in a ground surrounded by a bunch of miserable sods who are obviously living in cloud cuckoo land.

If I were Carter, I'd pull the plug now. Some of you don't deserve a team to support.

I'm comfortable with him being a back up utility player. Tbh I'm not sure who people think we're going to sign, when they aren't even going to be first choice in the 17 each week. Until we see all the signings we've made and what the squad looks like , how can people say we're going backwards, or we could have signed better. How do they know who'd come here or who we've inquired about and got a knock back from.

This. How can people say he's a waste of money when they don't even know how much money he's on? We might have got him on a good deal for us. Is he gonna be first choice? Probably not, but he can cover anywhere in the back line if someone gets injured which is exactly the kind of player you want as a squad player.

Maybe the club offer something like a one year deal on x thousand, or a two year deal but on 5-10k less a year. As I say, unless people know exactly what kind of money he's on then you can't really say whether it's worth it or not.

By all means take your ticket back Hank, but I don't think they'll give you your brass back, and allow people to express their opinion!!

A lot of Giants praising Grix on Twitter tonight. Hopefully he can guide max and make sure he fulfills his potential

I agree with a lot of posters with the unwarranted negativity about Grix. I recall similar previously with Paul Sykes at a similar age and he turned into a decent signing. Have confidence in Chris Chester and John Kear who will be influential in signings.

He's a Trinity player now so should get 100% support.....not criticised and he's not even worn the shirt yet!

And all I've done is express MY OPINION on the volume of clueless doommongers that supposedly 'support' the club.

Grix ain't no world beater, but he's here and he's one of ours and will give of his best! Welcome back sir!

Just watched Saturdays game and Grix wasn't outstanding but caught the ball well and linked into the line every now and then.
Only real mistake he made was trying to clear kick through when Allgood scored.
He's a fullback that can catch a ball, that's got to be an improvement on the players that have played there when Max hasn't!
