In place of Mr Anderson or Mr Harrison?

i would say he is a better ball player than Anderson and Harrison ,I would see Harrison as a substitute 2nd row forward and Anderson as a spectator watching his brother from his retirement home.
But if we are to move forward I would see a quality loose fwd coming in (Sinfield hopefully ) and Grix being his back up imo !

'Making sure you have your own water bottle' working wonders that one Tony.

Not seen the interview yet but I'd have said a few years ago that's where he'll end up playing.
Now however, i'm not sure he's physically big enough, I'd always rather have a 3rd backrower rather than a ball player at 13 as such. But he isnt a centre, Don't know where to put him.

Its about taking responsibility, not just for your water bottle but for yourself. Simon said that each player has to pick themselves up in terms of confidence or they are not in the squad

Really like Grix, he seems honest and acts like he's a warringtonian. I kno he isn't but I think that's the character of the lad. I think he deserves his chance at Loose Forward and wouldn't be surprised to see him there on Saturday!

I think the 13 shirt would already be his, if he wasn't for the shocking run of serious injuries he has had since joining us. He is a very very good player.

I concur. His ball handling and footwork are very good and he has a good rugby brain. He's still young, too, isn't he? He seems to have been knocking about forever, but didn't he debut for Halifax at a ridiculously young age?

Biscuit bones. Can't believe he's been given a new deal.
