Blythe and Grix Sign Contracts. : Thu May 21, 2009 8:02 am  

http://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/spo ... ing_boost/ one year for both players, great option to keep Grix on, solid player and does the basic's very well, very underrated player imo. Not to sure about Blythe but i suppose one year to prove himself wont hurt anybody.

Made up that we have given a deal to Grix.

He has been a shining light in recent weeks, and most fans haven't given him the credit he deserves.

Good news, sensible contract lengths for once.

Agreed, I think Tony Smith has his head screwed on a bit more than Cullen when it comes to contract lengths.

I'm glad we've re-signed Grix as didn't want to lose him at the end of the season. Due to previous injuries, a year is probably sensible to begin with. Bythe still has a lot to prove, but hopefully can start fulfilling his potential in what's left of this season and next.

First time on here guys so dont be to hard..

Happy for both players, I tend to watch the reserves and academy games, with some of my mates who play/ed at the local clubs.

Think this is good that they are giving contracts to the younger lads, this is what Tony Smith has said he is interested in doing. Who else do you think will make the grade from these 2 teams.
Also does anyone know if Lee Mitchel has been given a new contract. I think there a few really good prospects, but be interested to see what others think.

Mitchell looks a decent prospect to me, I think he's contracted until 2011 as well.

Blythe needs to shape up, he's been very poor this year. He's getting the odd opportunity, as is Mitchell, up to one of them to kick on now. Having both of them helps I think, we're not overusing them, as oppose to last year whereby they were subjected to playing say 8 games back to back, and it told by the play offs.

I'd have Mitchel over Blythe, always works hard for both reserves and the first team when he's played, I dont think Blythe's doen that much yet.

Blythe had an excellent start to his career at Wire and really looked promising in 2008, but he seems to have gone down the long path of many a wayward Wire youngster and his off filed activities have somewhat made him lose focus. A year deal is enough for him to prove that he has the ability to do well.

watched the reserves @ wilderspool this season and i must say imo tyrone mcarthy looks a much better prospect than both and am amazed he hasnt been given oppurtunity yet in 1st grade.
