Can not understand people saying Grix had a good game against Hudersfield ok he scored 2 try's but all the work had been done for him .iIs link up play was shocking in fact at least 3 times he passed when the player receiving the ball was stood on the touch line with Hudersfield players ready to push him into touch.He was so slow tying to join the line that when he got the ball we lost 15 yards. Thursday is play was poor at the best .

well, it depends if you have an agenda that prevents you from being objective.....or not

I thought at times Trinity tried to do a Wigan and fight fire with fire by messing about at the play the ball and really trying to slow it down.



Wigan have done this for years, we all know it, and are ultimately now very very good at getting away with it. Trinity however looked a bit naive at times when doing it and I think that cost a few penalties.



I personally thought it was quite a poor game. Both teams coming off the back of big performances last week looked a little low on energy and it took guys like Johnstone and Hamlin to lift the game when they got the ball as they seemed to have more energy than their respective teammates.



I think Wigan are probably favourites at the moment to pick up the title and realistically there wasn’t much between the 2 teams. A couple of good signings over the offseason and Trinity I feel have a really good chance of becoming a top 4 team.

The problem is that the reason given by Chester to drop Jowitt was due to errors he made in the Saints. This therefore sets a precedent and the same standard should apply to Grix. We all agree he made mistakes in the Wigan game therefore should he not be held to the same conditions and be replaced by Jowitt.

And then we'll get people moaning that he changes the team too much.

And equally we don't know who is ripping it up most in training.

It's not like Chester is trying to lose a game to play his mate. He's picking the best side considering he conditions and opposition.

Grix has been hot and cold throughout his career. He was very fortunate to be rescued from that losing Championship Widnes team, by Wakefield, all those years back.

He does seem to have a bit of a teflon coating these days, especially under his boots.

It just doesn't make any sense to suggest Chezzy has some daft agenda.

Coaches live and die by results on the field, why the hell would he pick players less likely to help win a game based on favoritism.

If a player gets dropped from the team its a cast iron certainty there is more to it than anything a bunch of dingbats like us can point out from a few game snippets.

If Grix gets dropped, there'll be a good reason for it, if Jowitt gets dropped there'll be a good reason for it.

With that in mind, we're all entitled to an opinion but I often find myself wondering why people post overly biased obviously agenda driven comments.

I mean Chezzy aint God or anything, he'll make mistakes like everyone else but he's in a far better position to make the right calls than us.

Nothing is ever as black and white as "Jowitt made errors" but we're not gonna spend 8 hours analyzing player performance, stats, attitude and miscellaneous in a 15 minute press interview, that's a job for the playing staff and support.

Our number one problem seems to be our inability to back up a good performance.

We have not won in consecutive weeks since the first 4 rounds.

We have only won consecutive rounds once since then (rounds 16 Widnes A and 17 Wigan H), but then we had a week off in between for the cup .



Why is this?

Mental? Skill? physical? fitness? coaching?



We just need to have that killer instinct to finish off games. The games against Sts & Wigan are examples of games we need to be winning if we want to challenge for the top 4. We were the better side in large portions of those matches. Our defence and attack are as good as anything in SL. It's just those lapses in concentration, errors and silly penalties that have prevented us achieving to our potential.

We play high quality, entertaining rugby.

We have the most stable squad that i can remember. Injuries have been relatively light. When was the last time we didn't make mid-season signings?

I think, despite eventual finishing position, we are a better team than last year. If we can be more consistent next year, the sky's the limit.

Jowitt has recently been given a long contract so the club must see a place for him long term. In the meantime I have no problems with Grix at FB although I have to say if Jowitt had given the stupid penalty away like the one Grix did when he upended the Wigan player, then he would probably have been dropped!

The last two seasons have seen us lose games by the narrowest of margins, anything between 1 and 6 points. Sometimes due to a rush of blood, sometimes a drop goal attempt which missed by inches, sometimes by taking the wrong last tackle option, sometimes by rushing the play of the ball.



At the moment, and the same applied last season, the team need to lift about 10% to be really challenging for the top 4. The big question is... What would give us this lift? A new head coach? A new fitness coach? A world class half back? A specialist skills coach? A new ground?

Best ever 3 year period in Super League and people still questioning the coach?? the mind boggles

A motivationalist, belief in what you can do and not dwell in the past poor results, you get the best out of people when you motivate them than constant barrage of abuse



how good would it be that it could start on the terrace first than on the pitch or talks of a new coach
