I guess Warrington dont need him for the playoffs.

Apart from Anakin, he is, when fit, miles better than any other forward we have on the books. Obviously Ali is a match winner but Grix is a player who gets in the Warrington team, no other player on our books , now that McShane has left could do that. Excellent signing if fit to play.

McShane wouldn't get in Warrintons team ahead of Clarke and Dwyer!

the club know something about injuries that we dont ?

Originally a stand off at Fax.

Seriously Anakin isn't very good even you must have realised that by now.

Also I have a bone to pick with you.

My lad played for Sandal seconds on the wing a few years back. After what you said about Sandal wingers being better than Johnstone and co I decided I'd better get him an agent. Sadly the agent is now suing me because he laughed that hard he put his back out.

Come on belly if you're going to play provocateur at least attempt to be subtle - for it to work there has to be an element of reality involved

Before his injury he would have been one of the first names on the team sheet, we have certainly missed him this season. Can and has played 2nd row, loose, centre and even in the halves in recent years. From the limited number of times I've seen Wakey this season I'd say that, when fit, he is better than anyone else you have (he is possibley better than most we have!).

Vastman your credibility was blown with your nonsensical , childish argument regarding the bookies and their odds at the start of the season, you jumped on your high horse whist throwing your toys out of the pram. My observation was based on watching last seasons Sandal first team wingers, and the young Joe Allot who by the way can play Rugby. Also take your heinous slur about back Anakin right now, he has been held back by poor coaching from Agar and Webster, never the less he is a rugby God

As a Wire fan I'll say you've got a cracking player if/when fit, and a really good bloke too. I think we've really missed him this season and sorry that he won't feature for us, but best of luck in the Middle 8s - really hope you stay up

What are you on about, my credibility like yours was blown the moment I started posting on here.

You are funny i'll give you that.

I wonder if he will play?

Played in cross code challenge twice for Eastmoor against Sandal and wouldn't have said the wingers were as good as ours then certainly not as good as lads putting on a Wakefield shirt.

Great signing for us

Wire needed to free up some £££s for Sandow. Job done.

I am going to presume you are joking about Anakin. Completely over-rated but adored by Fev fans in the championship...

pleased for Simon to be given a chance to get back into the game after what could of been career threatening injury, next signing JJB

Probably not....according to BS on back page of today's Wakey Express, there is "almost no chance of Grix playing for Wakefield this season".
If that is the case, then why have we signed an injured player that is unlikely to play for us ???

Why would BS divulge the 100% truth to our competitors? Maybe he will maybe he won't either way it's hardly gonna make us worse off than before he signed.
Maybe he's just helping his brother out in return for past or future reciprocal help from Warrington.

If we were speaking hypertheftically then you would think that one club wanted to bring in a new scrum half to try to improve their chances. The problem they had was that they had reached their cap and were not sure if the club currently employing the said half back would release him. They thought we need a club who have space under the cap and will help us out. They knew we were running a squad on the cheap so had plenty of room. Let's send a player who we know will not play again on loan until the end of the season but will not announce it until we are certain that the player from Australia is free.
I suppose having a family member at the said club is just a bonus but as I said this is purely hyperthefticall.

And hyperthetically who pays the said player's wages?

It certainly won't be us I doubt brotherly love would stretch to us paying the hefty salary of a player whose not going to play.

If Warrington are still paying his wages, surely he would still count on the cap for them ?

I am sure we will have come to some sort of financial arrangement because does anyone think we are playing for a player on loan that will not play. If we did it would somewhat fly against the constant austerity measure we keep reading about.

Totally agree, which makes him quite a bizarre signing.

I don't think it was done to benefit us but more to assist Warrington. I am not saying we will not benefit in the future maybe we can operate a dual registration agreement with them.
