He didn't have his best game last night- can't remember when he dropped a ball- let alone two in one game- he wasn't the only one though. Murphy dropped a ball with a try begging- he also only had to make three tackles all night and he missed two of them. huby missed 3 tackles and made a particularly unimpressive 4m per carry (similar to eorl, compare to 8 made by walmsley) - but that doesn't count. Some players only have their negative points mentioned others only their positives. All players make errors. Playmakers tend to make more because of the number of times they touch the ball.
Grix is what we have, he's better than anyone else we have in that position at the moment. We'd all love a billy slater- but we don't have one. If grix was playing half hearted like Bowen then we might have something to moan about. And he still looked better than quinlan last night.

Dropping a high ball under swirling rain is no scandal

Dropping the ball with a clear run to the line is - Broughton wouldn't have missed




On the whole the team played well in tough conditions, some had excellent games and I don't think anyone had a poor one

best win of the season for me was that, i thought we were done when they got it back to 20-20 but showed some great resilience and spirit to not just weather the storm but to the go on and win the game.
Cunningham said he thought they had some decisions go against them, but i thought we were hammered especially in those last few minutes of the first half, yes, technically they probably were all penalties, but as wells said in the analysis he was probably too quick to blow, saints were doing the same thing but not getting penalised, we see teams doing what we were getting hammered for every week, we did very well to only finally break after 30 odd plays on our own line.
i have been saying we need to show we can win these close games and last night was a start more of the same please!

we always do make noise, like i said we may go in a taxi but we make ourselves heard.

come even you his fave fan cant say he had a good game, he had a shocker

missed the man for first try, but why he was first man anyway i dont know

knocked on from restart, knocked on from a high kick, lost the ball in second half in a silly position

examiner only gave him a 6/10 , lowest out of all the team so i cant have been the only one to have thought this

you only seem to comment on this forum when it regards grix



care to comment on anything else? ive mentioned brough too, what you think? anything other than grix?

at least you agree he didnt have his best game lastnight.

i agree hes the best we have at the moment but ivor just jumps on anyone who mentions he had a bad game

Grix also made at least two try saving tackles, and contributed hugely to our improved attack last night with his running round the back-
Didn't the examiner give huby 8/10 he made 4m a carry according to the stats and didn't do anything else much that I remember- so excuse me if I take the examiner scores with a pinch of salt.

He dropped two kicks, one lost in the tackle, one awful pass that led to another player knocking on, a couple of awful tackle attempts.

He made 2 or 3 X as many mistakes last night as he does in an average game.

We know you won't acknowledge anything good he does- only point out the bad- don't do the same with brough or Murphy though .....
How many shocking kicks from brough? Murphy dropped a ball with no pressure and another high ball - which didn't count as saints was offside- but still dropped!!! He also missed two tackles (out of three he needed to make) that led to tries-But no lets just pick on one players mistakes.

It's called bias ......

We know your thoughts on grix- you go on and on and on and on............. About it.
But he's our fullback and the best we have so at least be fair.

You are turning into a parody. I rarely criticise Grix. I doubt you can find a post where i have.

But feel free to defend the indefensible.

Forget it Looks. You should know by now that the glass half emptiers are always right.

I rarely post on here these days because of the blinkered, negative opinions of certain posters (not necessarily aimed at you). There are rarely reasoned discussions. Threads frequently turn into slagging matches. I've better, positive things to do than be constantly arguing with bigots (again, not aimed at you).

great that this turns into another grix thread.... just because poster mentions he had a bad game, i still think he did

and i also said brough did too.

murphy dropped a ball with the try line begging too, there are we all happy now jeeeez

And yet you are the one referring to people as bigots, You answer a post and talk about certain people who have blinkered and negative opinions, and then take pains to tell that poster you didn't mean him.
Just because someone thinks Grix had a poor game, that doesn't make them a half empty glass fan, They are probably just as big a fan as you, and even if they are not surely they have the right to post their opinions on the forum, If not why have a forum, Just have a Giants admiration talk shop.
What is it about Grix that arouses so much passion, If he has a poor game, he has a poor game, what has that got to do with how Murphy, Brough or anybody else played, they are playing in a different position, same if he has a good one.

Did he have a poor game though?

He was the best FB on the field.

If only we had not made the worst full back on the field look like a world class player the last time we played them !!

Well he didn't have a great game for me but he wasn't a disaster either.

You are correct though, he wasn't the worst FB on the field.

Grix didn't have his best game that was pretty obvious, but he was part of a TEAM that beat the current champions on their own ground


i really don't get why we have to pick fault with individual players, especially when we have won!

because we almost threw it away with the silly errors, wont win a grand final if we are going to keep giving teams this many chances, saints are poor at the moment and we got away with it, will we against leeds or wigan, maybe we will find the ruthless streak but at the moment we dont have it

Because that is the nature of a forum meast. The very reason for having one. People give their opinions on the team and the players. If a player ( say Cudjo ) has a really great game, as he does at times, and someone comes on and says so , You wouldn't dream of saying " I don't see why people have to single out certain players for praise it was a team effort".

It's just some people are really sensitive to any criticism of players, or the Giants in general.

I personally haven't seen anybody call for PA to be sacked, but I haven't been posting on here long. I have been very critical of his coaching style " or the style of football we play " but it's my opinion , nothing more. If your opinions are different, fine I am quite happy to read them .

See what I mean???

brearley has it spot on about letting teams back in to games this week it was brunos turn to hit the self distracted button dropping the ball giving away penalty's and the most stupid sin Binnig of all time . but the real issue for me was robs passing from dummy 1/2 shocking again a no look pass this time in our 25 ball hits the deck will he ever learn

No I don't see what you mean, But as long as you do.

fair enough.
i just think, although i don't know if players read these forums or not, that if supporters are criticizing or pulling a player down it could affect his confidence, but yet if he receives praise that will boost his confidence.
i suppose people will say take the rough with the smooth, which is true, but personally i don't like bagging individual players, unless i think they need a rocket or a kick up the backside.

im looking forward to sorting out our hooking role next season with the arrival of hinchcliffe
