Well if he's peeved at being on the wing and he ends up coming, he could possibly be a Fulton type replacement. And perhaps being settled into that kind of role will see him push on.

And he will hopefully be cheap.

I wouldn't complain i think this club has shown over the last few year that we are capable of taking steady,decent players and turning them into Super League players - Kirmond,Raleigh,Lunt for instance are now seen as regular 1st team players and vital cogs in our challenge

sounds like a replacement for Fulton.

If he was as good as you make out in any of those positions then he would have made them his own by now especially given that we don't have a recognised stand off. The reason that he is 'stuck' on the wing is that he is a decent enough utility player but does not have a defined position.

Would be very surprised if Hudds wanted him and can't imagine he would be anything more than back up as at Wakey filling in when and where injuries dictate.

people said that about Scott Moore but we turned him into an international player after 6 months.

That does not follow at all.

This is not the place to discuss Kear's screw ups with pivots.

If Brown can do with Grix what he did with Moore we will have a winner. let's see if we sign him.

It is nothing to do with Kear's 'screw ups'. Having watched Grix for the last 2 seasons he is a utility player a decent one but that's all. He cannot blame Kear because he hasn't taken the opportunities when they have been presented to him.

If he goes I hope you do turn him into a super star but I doubt it. As you say lets see if you sign him.

rewind 12 months, swap the Wakie fan for a Cas fan, Grix for Moore and you'd have pretty much the same post.

No, I am fairly sure we can blame Kear...we have taken enough players from Wakey and turned them into decent players before now.

I have not seen a single pivot improve under Kear. I was not aware Grix had blamed Kear for anything.

Most Cas fans told us that we signed their 2 worst players for 09. With our coaching staff Moore and Korki have improved. Likewise Lunt. I would think Grix woud benefit from such inputs.

Grix will have to improve to get into our team even on the bench. Surely Brown and his team, now that he's been here a year and had a good look at other sides and their players, will be pretty confident in getting improvements out of anyone we sign.

If we sign him, great. Let's see what then happens.

this signing if true may give Brown a year to build up and become a ball playing back row forward ala Sinfield or Fulton. I have always thought this is where he would end up.

As for Grix it is difficult to know how good he is as he has played virtually every position from 1 to 7 under Kear. Comments i have read on the Wakey board though suggest that the majority of wakey fans would like him to be given a run at 6 to see if he has got the ability to make that position his own.

I think MG in his earlier post summed up grix's abilty perfectly.

If he comes i would be happy to see him here. Our recruiters have done well recently and we seem to have the ability to bring out the best in players.

aspinall in a swap deal for grix

Guessing or from a source?

A mate of mine is drinking buddies with Danny Brough's Dad. My mate rang me on Friday to say Danny's signed for us. I told him that rumour had passed now the strong rumours of him signing for Hull KR were doing the rounds. He said "Well Danny's Dad has just told me he's signed for your lot". Make of that what you will but I was sure he was going to HKR.

An excellent utility player at half back
He would be a better full back than Blaymire
I assume you mean excellent 6 with Brough
Or even a vg ball handling and kicking 13
Which is it to be for the boy wonder. I assume you have highlighted those three on the basis that if you pick him in enough positions' you will get one what suits him and at the same time make you look knowledgable on all things Wakefield. WE have a very capable FB, he has been tried and failed at SO and we have a player in Ferguson better suited for the LF. Grix has been tried in numerous positions and at the moment has failed to make any one of them his.Thanks for the imput though I am sure that Kear will bare these thoughts' of yours in mind for future reference.

What makes you think I give a monkeys what Kear thinks?



Blaymire is 3rd rate and wakey have been playing musical chairs with halves and hookers all year. Such a skint club with so much of its salaries tied up in 6/7/9 - what a joke.

And how many players OOC in 09 actually want to stay? Its a mass exodus

I've been told by a sl player that we 100% WON'T be signing Danny Brough, apparently when we played wakie at home he sent Nathan Brown a copy of their team sheet with Brown wasn't happy about and told him that he didn't want someone in his team that could do that.

You must give a monkey's what Kear thinks or you wouldnt be stalking him.
Blaymires only third rate in your head nobody else's, and they have had to, to quote your silly expression being playing musical chairs with halves' and hookers' all year because of injuries and you have that much money that your sugar daddy has to keep bailing you out. what a joke you dont even come close.
Fwiw can you tell me just out of interest how many players' do we have ooc this year I am sure it will come readily to mind. Btw why are you not getting into a party mood for the biggest day in the clubs' history since you mugged Sheffield.

You've just made yourself look a bigger cock showing your lack of knowledge

Once tried that with the wife. It burned like hell. Never again.

told the reason why grix is joining us is because he is fed up of kear playing him on the wing,he wants to play stand off brown said he will give him a go on lesser contract than at waky to prove his worth for a better deal.

Grix simply isn't good enough to be a first choice fullback or winger. At the start of the season he played 6 and looked a perfect partner for Brough but injuries hit and since then the lad has been messed around.

I could see him developing into a very handy Loose forward in a couple of seasons but i fear that to progress and develop he must leave Wakefield.

You think I am stalking Kear? You obviously have a mental health problem.

They are so badly injured in your halves/hookers that you move one out on loan and put another on the wing

Do try and keep up with what is happening in your team



As for your lame Sheffield comment I can only assume that you have only followed RL for a season or two, or you have a severe memory problem (probably both). Since the merger, and since winning promotion, this will be our 3rd semi final and we had a final in 06.- so hradly our biggest day sweetheart.



Back to Grix?

Yes i know she complained when I tried it
