Thought Annekin did enough at Hull to keep his place, Grix and Batch for me.

I wasn't in attendance at Hull hence the either or comment but Annakin never lets us down so off the back of your comment, happy for the same 17 to continue.

No way should Grix play unless Max is carrying an injury

Injuries aside and maybe depending how high up we can possibly reach in the context of prize money, the only time Chester should even consider playing Grix is the last couple of games if position wise we can't better ourselves.

Grix is an excellent player. Why would you 'not consider' playing him.

Max has played well so should be starting, but Grix should be considered and in the squad if fit and can cover a number of positions. It's not like Max was perfect against Hull though. He has to stay on his game.

unless its due to an injury, why change a winning team/17?

When's Grix ever been perfect?

Re: Saints on Thursday. : Tue Aug 14, 2018 1:32 pm  

Would be very disappointed to see Max lose his place, barely put a foot wrong since coming into the side. Must have the no1 Jersey next year.

Tbh I think Rocky has looked good at fullback in his last couple of appearances, would rather see him play there than Grix. If we can I'd get Grix on dual reg for fitness.

Up until his injury Grix was excellent apart from the odd error's he made, Jowitt had to wait for his chance to come because of injury to Grix, he's taken his chance superbly well, and while nobody is saying he's been faultless his mistakes haven't been as glaringly obvious as what Grix's were, I'm a fan of them both but in the interest of fair play Jowitt should be afforded the same opportunity as Grix, baring in mind he is the future of the club, I'm all for including him in the squad for covering injuries, but not at the expense of playing for the sake of it.

Wouldn't want to see any of the lads dropped after Friday's display but I do like to see Batchelor out on the pitch. Maybe Batch for Annakin at a push? Hope we're just warming Grix up to cover any future injuries.

Re: Saints on Thursday. : Tue Aug 14, 2018 2:02 pm  

Let's hope that Chester learnt his lesson last time he changed a winning side to accommodate someone returning from injury especially in the halves.
When Jowitt was dropped for Magic, with Rocky moving to FB, it cost us very dear AND set Shudds on one hell of a run.
Unless we are carrying an injury in 1,6 or 7, please stick with what we have.
Jowitt rightly, had to wait his turn when Grix was in form and surely, Grix now has to do the same.
