That does not follow at all.

This is not the place to discuss Kear's screw ups with pivots.

If Brown can do with Grix what he did with Moore we will have a winner. let's see if we sign him.

It is nothing to do with Kear's 'screw ups'. Having watched Grix for the last 2 seasons he is a utility player a decent one but that's all. He cannot blame Kear because he hasn't taken the opportunities when they have been presented to him.

If he goes I hope you do turn him into a super star but I doubt it. As you say lets see if you sign him.

rewind 12 months, swap the Wakie fan for a Cas fan, Grix for Moore and you'd have pretty much the same post.

No, I am fairly sure we can blame Kear...we have taken enough players from Wakey and turned them into decent players before now.

I have not seen a single pivot improve under Kear. I was not aware Grix had blamed Kear for anything.

Most Cas fans told us that we signed their 2 worst players for 09. With our coaching staff Moore and Korki have improved. Likewise Lunt. I would think Grix woud benefit from such inputs.

Grix will have to improve to get into our team even on the bench. Surely Brown and his team, now that he's been here a year and had a good look at other sides and their players, will be pretty confident in getting improvements out of anyone we sign.

If we sign him, great. Let's see what then happens.

this signing if true may give Brown a year to build up and become a ball playing back row forward ala Sinfield or Fulton. I have always thought this is where he would end up.

As for Grix it is difficult to know how good he is as he has played virtually every position from 1 to 7 under Kear. Comments i have read on the Wakey board though suggest that the majority of wakey fans would like him to be given a run at 6 to see if he has got the ability to make that position his own.

I think MG in his earlier post summed up grix's abilty perfectly.

If he comes i would be happy to see him here. Our recruiters have done well recently and we seem to have the ability to bring out the best in players.

Guessing or from a source?

A mate of mine is drinking buddies with Danny Brough's Dad. My mate rang me on Friday to say Danny's signed for us. I told him that rumour had passed now the strong rumours of him signing for Hull KR were doing the rounds. He said "Well Danny's Dad has just told me he's signed for your lot". Make of that what you will but I was sure he was going to HKR.

An excellent utility player at half back
He would be a better full back than Blaymire
I assume you mean excellent 6 with Brough
Or even a vg ball handling and kicking 13
Which is it to be for the boy wonder. I assume you have highlighted those three on the basis that if you pick him in enough positions' you will get one what suits him and at the same time make you look knowledgable on all things Wakefield. WE have a very capable FB, he has been tried and failed at SO and we have a player in Ferguson better suited for the LF. Grix has been tried in numerous positions and at the moment has failed to make any one of them his.Thanks for the imput though I am sure that Kear will bare these thoughts' of yours in mind for future reference.

What makes you think I give a monkeys what Kear thinks?



Blaymire is 3rd rate and wakey have been playing musical chairs with halves and hookers all year. Such a skint club with so much of its salaries tied up in 6/7/9 - what a joke.

And how many players OOC in 09 actually want to stay? Its a mass exodus
