No he wasn't, not in my opinion - he was good and showed a great deal of integrity but for me he wasn't as good as Grix has been.

We've actually been blessed with a number of excellent fullbacks at this club.

In my time we've seen Spencer,Paul, Holland, Leeds, Blaymire, Halpenny and a fair few more - not a position we have struggled in.

Op Scott Grix is an excellent fullback.The experience he has gained over the years is something young Max still has to learn. It's all about reading the opposing sides moves, directing the backline defence then turning defence Into attack then linking up to take the final pass, he does this well and is an invaluable asset to any team. Now any fullback who can do all this and do it well should be excused the odd mistake.

Oddly I was chatting to my brother about Prescott yesterday
Prescott was a really good fb but that was pedigree he earned at other clubs
He was 'ok' for us

Thanks to pearmam he wasn't getting paid so it's no surprise we didn't see him at his best

Very glad this has being brought up

Our defence has being the best I can ever remember it this season

I'm sure there are many contributing factors in this turn around but Grix is without doubt one of those factors

Do not think he is a player that will make us a top 4 team do not think he would get a contact extension at any other S L club . Far to inconsistent to be picked every week

We must watch different teams I guess.

His playing style would suit Castleford no end and I think at present he'd walk into their team.

About to say the same.

For me there's been a group of players that have been consistantlly good for us this year, which is why we were in it right till the end. Does that mean the players didn't make mistakes, no, because there's no such RL player that exists. I'd put Grix along with Ashurst, Arona, Wood, Fifita, Tupou, BJB & Finn all in this group (you coud probably add to this), that played to a generally high standard all year.

Prekki was a great full back but in his autobiography he doesn't do Wakey any favours as regards not getting paid because of the benidorm flats saga.
Hopefully with M C in charge those days have gone
