Plenty of incentives for SG whilst he is still here which with the cup final and playoffs all in the mix at the same time will be a test of him and all the lads.
As a alternative to the failure viewpoint either way it all turns out for his first time as head coach his record could be worse.
Up to now the facts are.
In 2019/20 season badly affected by covid Fax still reached the semi final of the Challenge Cup followed by 2 third place finishes, the highest of any part time team only behind teams like Toronto, Toulouse, Leigh and Fev who had many full timers and much bigger budgets, twice nominated for coach of the year and so far this year the first Wembley appearance in decades.
In the future.
He will be appointed as a SL assistant to one of the most experienced and respected coaches in the game.
This coach already knows what SG is capable of and doesn’t need to wait and see before judging him.
Even if Grix never gets to become a SL head coach it doesn’t automatically mean he’s failed, there’s only 12 jobs available with a good number of well qualified experienced candidates for the clubs to choose from here and overseas, he might not even get the chance regardless of his ability.
Just hope we get the right man who plays the right brand of attacking rugby.
