Quote ="vastman"I don't know everything, what I do know is you can't spot the difference between a natural F/B and a natural No6. I suggest Blaymire made plenty of meters, easily as many as his opposite number.
I don't really care where Grix playred for Widnes in NL1, what I know and what last night confirmed is he can't take the high ball. Matty may not be the best attacking F/B but he is decent enough, what he is is safe under the bomb and in the modern game that is the number one priority.
Would you prefer that clown at Bradford? He makes plenty of fancy yards and scores a few more per season but he makes more howlers in one game than Blaymire will in a season. Grix would be the same at F/B IMHO as he is too excitable. F/B is a lonely and exposed position and Grix isn't the man, he needs the support he receives at No6 to thrive.
If you were going to replace Blaymire should his form dip then Peterson is the obvious choice.'"
Superleague stats for Player Head to Head show Blaymire with 20 carries and 129 Meters compared with Lee Smith having 17 carries and 107 meters. This is obviously over 2 games but would tend to suggest you are right in your suggestion.
