Grix : Sun Jul 02, 2017 6:33 am  

The last couple of weeks grix has had a mare under the bomb and received a fair bit of flack on here for it, the Salford game in particular was a nightmare for him, I think the opposition thought they had found a hole in our defence as he has being getting peppered ever since.
I don't see what we do in training but I am sure Grixy has being working on taking the high balls

He was targeted again last night but took everything thrown at him,

Well played Grixy

Absolutely. Didn't put a foot wrong.

Ironically he was the one who took the dummy for the first try. So one foot wrong...but he certainly made up for it.

Pretty faultless under the bombs yesterday. His offload in the tackle for our 1st try was magic. Try out of nothing from Finn, Grix and Tupou.

Yes it was, his link play and creativity in attack were excellent, although have never being in question in fairness

His foot balling skills from that stray pass were top draw too

I agree that he had a good game last night, but 5 minutes before the BT try, we were 10 metres from the try line on the second or third tackle and with ball in hand he decided to try a kick through that was hit too hard that it hit the boardings before any player got near the ball. Sometimes when he has too long to think about the play he sometimes fluffs his lines up, but his instinctive play can be devastating to the opposition as BTs try proved. We don`t need to score from every play the ball.

Noticed on the highlights that that 1st try involved Wood with quick hands and brain too. Finn, Grix, Wood, Tupou.

Every team does that in every game to be fair; kicking through is a really difficult skill and it never comes off 100% of the time.

Or if you're Jon Wilkin - it just never comes off at all.

Looks like you can add Kurt Gidley to that elite club as well.
