Very good signing although I am not sure why Salford are dressing it up as though they got a transfer fee. Just the type of player we need and could make a big difference to our pack.

New signing to be announced at 7pm - loan or permanent? There was a rumour we were interested in Hakim Maloudi , although can't think of anyone less like a Grix player - and not someone I'd be thrilled to see signed.

Rumor seems to be one of our ex players and if its the one mentioned then it could quite possibly be the most underwhelming signing in years. I have my fingers crossed that it is someone else.

Hmm I agree and just realised I saw him at the game on Sunday but it didn’t twig , I guess you can’t have your cake and eat it .

Great. Two absolute powder puff Props. Great work Grix we are a full bore laughing stock!!!

Awful signing, was poor in his first spell for us, won't have got any better without playing and means players with potential like Eribe Doro will get even less game time than they are doing now. There is a reason he has had so many clubs, 8 clubs 10 different spells at those clubs not including loan spells in something like 13 years.

For all those clamouring for bigger forwards you've got your wish - in Maher and Fleming we now have 2 of the biggest useless lumps in the championship!

Re: New signing : Thu Apr 20, 2023 6:21 pm  

Grix signing his MATES.

Re: New signing : Thu Apr 20, 2023 7:44 pm  

Lump is definitely the word

How bad has this seasons recruitment been?

Success Stories:- Tom Inman, been really good even when getting left out every other week.

Jury Out - Eribe Doro, this years fall guy. Looked good at Widnes but feels like Grix feels like he made a mistake.
Brandon Pickersgill - Decent player but weird signing for a position we don't need cover for.
Ryan Lannon - Should be good but not had chance to see for sure yet.
Ben Forster - Have not seen him.
Jake Maizen - Looks like a winger been made to play centre.

Mistakes? - Will Maher not much to say but hasn't performed.
Dan Fleming -I'd love for him to turn in to a success story but he won't.
Nick Rawsthorne - Is he even still at the club?
Jacob Gannon on loan - Not sure what the point of this one was.
Ryan King - In and out of the side and decided to leave.

Other things to note - Released Titus Gwaze as he wanted too much money but how much Maher and Fleming on combined? Released the only 2 centres at the club and didn't replace them. New board telling people there would be no problem signing players yet recruitment has been poor and now having to set up squad builder again. Who is to blame? New board not able to get deals done or poor on Grix behalf making poor decisions? Or new board realising the job is harder than they first thought?
