Number of posts being low could be down to this sites problems...takes ages to type and post at times

As for the game 1-17 stood tall and played brilliantly, couple of brain farts in the last 10..but thankfully Smith for Wigan chose the wrong option a couple of times too, so it's not just our players who panic under pressure.

I've been on the internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club. They are very fanatical - Peter Gentle 12th September 2011.

Goes to show how much influence a coach can really have. Grix has improved effort and attitude across the team, whilst Smith probably decreased it from the season before.


If we were still hunting for a new coach, then Grix would probably have clinched the position with yesterday's result. Think there is still a scenario which sees him as head coach next year if, for some reason, the Cartwright deal collapses, which is not an impossibility given the rumours circulating around the Perth position.

There is always a temptation, when a temporary appointment is perceived to have made an impact, to make the temporary into a permanent role, and many sporting clubs have fallen into that trap before (Manchester United, for example!). Being successful short-term is a very different proposition to turning around a club like ours. Appointing Grix on a permanent basis would still represent a gamble which could go either way.

It's decisions like this where Myler truly earns his corn. He has to get this one right or the club will continue to drift along in a downward trajectory.

Fantastic performance yesterday, didn’t have much hope going into the game however I was more than happy to be proved wrong.

The boys deserved that, the one big takeaway was the response to last weeks slow start, it was chalk and cheese to the derby last week.

Our season may be over but I hope that result gives us the confidence to pick up a few more wins to take a bit of a feel good factor going into 2025.

I wonder if that is now going through Myler's mind? Clearly Cartwright isn't a long-term appointment due to his age, but Grix as understudy for two years before assuming head-coach duties would give us direction and ongoing continuity.

I was fairly ambivalent about Grix when Smith departed, believing he was nothing more than a stop-gap appointment while Myler decided where to next, but he has to be given credit for a clear development in fitness, attitude and commitment over the past couple of months, which culminated in yesterday's win.

It's Myler's call here. Does he feel Grix could be an asset to the club medium-term, and if so, in what capacity under Cartwright. When Smith left the club we were a basket-case. At least now we are a competitive side once more and Grix has to be congratulated for steadying the ship at the very least and instilling a little bit of pride back into the club and, even more importantly, us as long-suffering supporters.

I think Grix has a big decision because he can cut it as a head coach. Hindsight is wonderful but you sensed after a couple of games he has what it takes. That said we can’t get excited despite a fabulous win. I do think some have been unfairly critical of Grixs selections, handling of Balmforth etcIf we had not appointed Cartwright then Grix should have been kept on. I hope he stays with us but think he may want to be head coach elsewhere. Our big loss!

[/youtube]Maybe, just maybe people are just happy and enjoying the win and performance.

They maybe don't feel the need to vent their frustration or analyise the performance this week unlike some who like to come on here, have cheap digs and boast about how much beer they can drink and what super fans they are :lol:

I thought for 70 minutes or so we were outstanding and Wigan uncharacteristically were poor in parts coughing up cheap ball.
The performance yesterday was everything as fans we've been crying out for, win lose or draw and for me Grix deserves a lot of praise.


you have to laugh at some of the old faithful on here.
yes we played well with one or two outstanding individual performances but as mentioned Wigan made so many errors,some partly due to our aggression and kick chase yet no one has mentioned just how important was our on field discipline in getting the win.
It makes so much difference when you dont concede a penalty on the first /second tackle after finishing a set in the opposition 10/20 and then go on to give away either another penalty or a six again which usually led to a try.
The other factor was we turned Wigan around 3 or four times something we should be doing a lot more untill we have the cutting edge to open teams up in the oppossition 20.
Its plain to see that Grix has got us fitter with a better defensive structure and our attacking line was deeper,so he has to be commended for that but it is his job after all and its certainly taken time for the penny to drop on the Indiscipline issue.
Lets hope we can continue to be competitive for the rest of the season. My concern is that apathy has kicked in big time with FC supporters but my opinion is unless the club can pull off some major signings of exciting players with the quotas thay have they will struggle to win back the lost fans.

He is contracted for next season so unless the club pay him off or he wants to move on which i doubt he will be here next season
