I'd have said that Grix's current form was far below the form he showed last season, though the same can be said of most of our players!

Last season he was reliable under the high ball, yet against Warrington and St Helens he was culpable for letting the ball bounce and, in instances, failing to take command of the situation. He atoned in part with a nicely worked, and well taken, try against Saints but his performance against Hull was a true shocker, drawing specific comment from Eddie Hemmings. Grix made 4 mistakes against Hull FC, including the cardinal sin of being penalized with Huddersfield in possession (as he did against Hull KR). He also enabled Hull to score two tries through failing to diffuse their kicks.

No-one can fault the effort he puts in, and he is a very good support player but, as far as I am concerned, more should be demanded of a full back in a team boasting serious playoff aspirations.
