When you look at our forwards difficult to be too critical of any one individual - they all consistently play to their strengths - they are generally strong defensively and rarely make mistakes - qualities which Grix obviously, and understandably values. The problem for me is that they are all too alike so that especially when you look at our bench we rarely have a forward who offers something different that might change a game, but just a fresher version of the player coming off. Tangata in his pomp used to offer this but less so now - don't know enough about Matty Gee if he's actually coming to know whether he's the answer - the rumours about the quality of the backs coming in aee very promising - really hope that even if smaller numbers the forward additions are the same quality.

Still a lot of time before the season though and Im sure some players will come available but we really need some size up front.

He's a decent player but don't see him as been a top half championship player and the players we have brought in are good upgrades.

Elliott Morris staying as well which is great news. Consistantly one of our best players and were lots of rumours of him leaving so for him to stay is a massive bonus.

Re: Team for 2022 : Fri Oct 22, 2021 8:45 pm  

On Robinson if he goes Grix will say something like it didn't work out for him as early on he struggled for form and then got injured for a lengthy period.
On Elliot, well pleased he's staying, he's past wearing the Learner Plate stage and next year will be a big one for him to press on.

Re: Team for 2022 : Sat Oct 23, 2021 8:36 am  

Elliot Morris is a great resigning. For me he has stepped up alongside of JF as one of the first names on the team sheet. Whether he starts the game or comes on after twenty minutes probably depends on the opposition and Simons tactics but either way a very encouraging piece of news. Up The Fax!

It was no coinicidence that when Morris was missing games because of covid it also happened to be the time our form took a bit of a dip.
