Regardless he would have took us to the top or not, the way the players just fall out with a coach and get them sacked is appalling.


100% this how long before they throw Grix under the bus….

It’s the fans that got him sacked. He was OOC at end of season and Pearson knew he couldn’t extend him with how we’re playing. It would’ve been suicide. Subsequently he’s having to sack him with the aim of getting a new coach in to control recruitment.

Had to happen something had to give, players not innocent but he had to go and glad Stanley gone too. A certain injured prop with a mullet at the club rates Grix highly but hopefully we appoint a new man, its the biggest appointment in the clubs history IMO. Rowley for me as Macca won't leave Catalans and AP won't pay the money. No rush to appoint IMO need to make sure we get the right man.

I’ve been told on good authority that Adam wants out, but no doubt be happy to take his wage until somebody does buy the club. Sad state of affairs.

Absolutely right. The last thing we need is a knee jerk reaction leading to another bad appointment. Nothing is going to happen results wise and we can't be relegate so they should take their time and make an appointment that will change things.

The players aren’t downing tools though, they’re just not good enough. And smiths reluctance to wrestle has capitulated that.

We will have to agree to disagree on that front.
