| So grid occasionally makes mistakes - remember Brett hodgson spilling the ball and getting the ball knocked off him or taken and no one would say he is a poor full back.
Grid makes mistakes like all fbs - but is the GIANTS full back so is ok by me.
Like his elusive runs and a strong little so and so to tackle - more good than bad if you ask me.

| Full back must be the most thankless task in the team. You're expected to organise the defence, tackle like a machine, run the ball out strongly, catch everything that comes your way AND help out as a ball-playing member of the attack.
Grix is a totally different type of player to Hodgson, and by no means the worst full back in SL. From what I've seen of him he's served you well, and definitely earns his place.
If and when he is injured or rested, though, and you try Murphy in his place he'll struggle to get it back.

| Murphy is a good player- but his skill set doesn't lend himself to fullback in the team we have this season - perhaps next year with bailey coming playing him as a ball playing loose could allow us to play murphy there.

Alternatively, perhaps showing how loud and vociferous a small section can be.

| Not much else? What about the two try saving tackles he did make? That's a third of his tackles prevented tries! Shame murphy messed up on the next play the ball to let cats score after one of them. If he's tackling a lot it surely it suggests hes not organising the defensive line properly- or others aren't tackling as they should. Work rate? he probably does more running than most of the team- just a lot of it isnt with ball in hand! What about that fabulous kick from deep in his own half that taia had to chase back for and got us out of trouble. There's more to a positive contribution than scoring tries. - which against Leeds was simply about being in the right place at the right time. stats are useful and have the stats for Brett Hodgson- doesn't really give the whole story though does it.

| Quote fartown since 1961="fartown since 1961"The whole purpose of my original post was to point out the difference in contribution last week between SG & BH.
The whole point is that the mistake rate was similar but contribution to the game vastly different.
My point is that if SG makes mistakes but makes an overall positive contribution to the game then I have no issues it's three errors and not much else that was my concern !!!!
Against Leeds he scored a try to balance his mistakes but needs to have a better impact against Hull & Wire and along with the rest of the team not give away cheap possession in our own half or 20.
Jools and Ivor you have a right to your opinion as does everyone else on here even the ones who slag off us dinosaurs who don't want to stand with them and sing !!!!!
But with a 5,000 hardcore support perhaps we should allow people to do their own thing and have opinions not 'diss' them and I will be at Hull on Sunday and Warrington and have a season ticket which goes back to 1972 when I was 16.
If you read my previous posts I believe we have a very good side and coach far better than the dark days which makes us dinosaurs appreciate these times more than most but with a right to an opinion !!!!'"
Don't play the dinosaur who's been following Fartown for years card with Ivor, I'm sure he saw Harold Wagstaff play...

Just out of interest which try from last week do you blame Murphy for.
There were mistakes in the build up to the tries so maybe you mean one of these.
But of the four tries scored one was a missed tackle (ferguson) one was from walking away from marker before the ball was played (George) one the winger ran straight over the top of the man (Grix) and the other was from a kick and there were three players around Duport when he scored.

| Why can't we get away from this blame culture Rugby League is a team game and as such takes the blame and credit collectively.
