| Quote: Steve0 ""grix is well liked by the playing staff and officials at the club" if we take this route again, it proves player power still rules the roost at the club. Our coach shouldn't be picked on his likeability, but his talent and ability to improve us. So far Grix is yet to win a game, our attack hasn't improved, the defence has improved marginally, but still not good enough, keep him as an assistant for a couple of years to learn under another coach, I don't know if I can take another "well regarded internal assistant" like Agar/Radders that fail to impress on the pitch (and before people say it about the cup wins - a lot of what radders served up was a load of rubbish).'"
Our attack wont improve much until we get some quality into our backs.
At the moment the only quality attack minded player we have is Walker and we wont see the best of him until we have better players around him.

As stated earlier up the thread, he has improved the defence, but has that just happened with the introduction of some more established and experienced players. Attack has still been woeful. Going from Rowley and offering the rumoured 150k a year, plus £1million worth of salary cap to play with, to just promoting Grix, seems very 'old regime'.
I don't get the fascination of wanting to hire someone with SL experience, some of the more successful coaches in recent times haven't had SL experience, Woolf, Holbrook, Maguire,'"
Still not sure the chase for Rowley is completely done I may well be way off the mark but not a lot made much sense and it was all very similar to how Salford went about Croft & particularly Dupree
I can’t see Grix being the guy for next year as the club need a big change. I think he is doing a good job in the interim and wouldnt be adverse to him taking charge the rest of the season.
Think he’d still be an asset to the coaching staff next season too if/when a new Coach comes in.

Lost a lot of his pace from his first injury at Castleford and was made to look a lot better having Clifford in the team.
has been unlucky with his serious injuries but has a football brain and a decent pass
Lets wait and see how he goes once he gets back to match fitness.
Just like to see him run the ball more

Looking at your ooc list and even allowing for players who’ve gone already or might be released, a million sounds like a lot. You’ve a few ooc, but some are the younger and presumably cheaper / outside the 25 ones.
Woolf, Holbrook and Maguire… Saints and Wigan. That’s a different type of SL.

| cant blame grix for our poor attack,as as been said we have hardly any players with any creativity.we dont have 1 decent ball playing foreward.the likes of fash,brown,cator and lane apart from being too small add nothing to our attack,they create nothing.in the backs walker is good,but the threequarters are mainly slow with no real flair.trueman does need a 7 of cliffords quality alongside him.they were working well together last season until truemans injury.we are also sadly lacking at 9.houghtons about finished and we have not replaced brown.

"Nothing has changed from a week ago, and nothing will probably change in a week or a month. It might take three months; I'm not too sure."
I know there's nothing confirmed that we have even offered him a contract, but I wouldn't be waiting around for possibly 3 months for him to maybe even turn around and say he's staying at Leigh. Would just be wasting time in planning and preparation for next season.
IF we do offer him to job, I hope we give him a couple of weeks to decide and say if he doesn't sign by June the offer is removed. We need to be on the ball with prepping for next season, not missing out on possible signings or even other possible coaches just because 1 guy wants 3 months to make his mind up.

For me he’s doing the old ‘I’ve been offered x amount by x club, either match it or I’m off’ Beaumont isn’t a patient man so can’t see that going down to well, there’s no chance any club, anywhere would wait 3 months for a decision, too many comings and goings between Leigh and Hull though does make you think..

| I just can't see it with Lam, I wouldn't be disappointed if he came here but I also wouldn't think yes! We now have the top class coach we all wanted. I also can't see him leaving midway through Leighs 5 year plan they seem to have in place.
There seems to be a lot of negative press saying this person and that person have rejected the hull job but I can't see Myler just offering the job about left, right and centre. You can pretty much guarantee a headline later this week about Lam rejecting the Hull job, its so predicable but online "journalists" know it will get clicks and that's all they care about.
I'd rather the club bide their time even if it takes until later in the year for the right man for the job.

| Listened to the latest house of league podcast. The Grix link is who Shaw thinks we should hire. Unless he knows something he's not letting on.

| Shaw, as well as being a Dobbins client journalist, is a Fax fan so pushing the Grix case isn’t a surprise.
No doubt the club are on with it and it could even be a name no one has mentioned yet.
The fact we’re increasing our support staff is just as important to me. Us improving as a club won’t just be on one appointment.

Shaw did say he thinks he'd be a good appointment for us and mentioned his time at Fax. They are doing significantly worse without him this year.

So long as it's not a 2 1/2 year contract. Better than smith but nowhere near where we need to be permanently
