And yet you are the one referring to people as bigots, You answer a post and talk about certain people who have blinkered and negative opinions, and then take pains to tell that poster you didn't mean him.
Just because someone thinks Grix had a poor game, that doesn't make them a half empty glass fan, They are probably just as big a fan as you, and even if they are not surely they have the right to post their opinions on the forum, If not why have a forum, Just have a Giants admiration talk shop.
What is it about Grix that arouses so much passion, If he has a poor game, he has a poor game, what has that got to do with how Murphy, Brough or anybody else played, they are playing in a different position, same if he has a good one.

Did he have a poor game though?

He was the best FB on the field.

If only we had not made the worst full back on the field look like a world class player the last time we played them !!

Well he didn't have a great game for me but he wasn't a disaster either.

You are correct though, he wasn't the worst FB on the field.

Grix didn't have his best game that was pretty obvious, but he was part of a TEAM that beat the current champions on their own ground
i really don't get why we have to pick fault with individual players, especially when we have won!

Re: St Helens Super 8s Game 3 : Sun Aug 23, 2015 2:36 pm  

because we almost threw it away with the silly errors, wont win a grand final if we are going to keep giving teams this many chances, saints are poor at the moment and we got away with it, will we against leeds or wigan, maybe we will find the ruthless streak but at the moment we dont have it

Because that is the nature of a forum meast. The very reason for having one. People give their opinions on the team and the players. If a player ( say Cudjo ) has a really great game, as he does at times, and someone comes on and says so , You wouldn't dream of saying " I don't see why people have to single out certain players for praise it was a team effort".

It's just some people are really sensitive to any criticism of players, or the Giants in general.

I personally haven't seen anybody call for PA to be sacked, but I haven't been posting on here long. I have been very critical of his coaching style " or the style of football we play " but it's my opinion , nothing more. If your opinions are different, fine I am quite happy to read them .
