Why, for suggesting it was time to give Max a go?
Grix, on the whole has had an excellent season and been a major part of why we have done so well...he's been a great signing.....but....he did have a couple of off games leading up to this and surely people are allowed to suggest an excellent player like Jowitt be given a chance...no? He certainly didn't let us down the lat time he played in what was a big game against a very good side and arguably one of our best wins of the season...
Before the game and without the benefit of hindsight...if you look back to the last time we played Leeds it was a very even contest which ended in a two point defeat...there was two mix ups at the back that led to Leeds tries and Grix was involved in both....it would have been fair to think we would have been put under similar if not more pressure this time round as Leeds were stronger favourites to win on recent showings from both teams...so I'd say a fair shout for a change at full back...certainly not brainless to think so pre match...
As it turned out we totally dominated Leeds and field position and only two high kicks went up from them all game because of how dominant we were....the first Bill took no problem as there was no Leeds player within 10 metres of him and Grix took a tricky one in the second half but no pressure as there wasn't a Leeds player within 15 metres when he caught it...that was everything to do with how the whole team played as a unit, and in the end Grix had a fantastic game...scored a great try backing up and put two superb kicks in for tries...I've not seen anyone question Grix in an attacking sense though, as victor mentioned earlier, Grix is great when we are dominant as he's a very clever player with very good brain...
If you'd asked me before and told me we'd dominate so much and he would only have one bomb to take but would be on the front foot for most of the game I'd have happily sided with Grix.....if you'd said Leeds would dominate us and pepper us with kicks and chase down...a bit like we did to Briscoe in the first half I'd have gone for Jowitt...
We might be under a bit more pressure Thursday but he will start and rightly so...'"
