Up before the disciplinary committee on a grade A for striking, no early guilty plea available and will probably get a one game ban.

Conner comes in for me and if he has a good game then Grix needs to fight his way back into the team after letting himself and the team down last Thursday.

I just couldn't see why you should have a monopoly on talking paranoid rubbish.

I'd have said that Grix's current form was far below the form he showed last season, though the same can be said of most of our players!

Last season he was reliable under the high ball, yet against Warrington and St Helens he was culpable for letting the ball bounce and, in instances, failing to take command of the situation. He atoned in part with a nicely worked, and well taken, try against Saints but his performance against Hull was a true shocker, drawing specific comment from Eddie Hemmings. Grix made 4 mistakes against Hull FC, including the cardinal sin of being penalized with Huddersfield in possession (as he did against Hull KR). He also enabled Hull to score two tries through failing to diffuse their kicks.

No-one can fault the effort he puts in, and he is a very good support player but, as far as I am concerned, more should be demanded of a full back in a team boasting serious playoff aspirations.

some good observations

If everyone worked as hard we wouldn't be where we are now!

yep lawrence and crabtree doing massive stints in defence
