Sorry but more contradictions just to fit the same old story line.
So Grix has a team with the same ducks lined up that over the course of a matter of weeks in the same season beats another team twice but in the third game loses because Joe Keyes hits the post from a penalty from a field position he had kicked a dozen times previously.
That's not just sport of course it's miserable failure down to Grix
Grix first six game comment is yet another well known aspect of sport that you simply either don't understand or if you do want to twist the meaning.
Point 1. Every coach, player, supporter wants to win every game but don't expect to do so with the ups and downs in form across the season, what he was simply saying is that if you don't start well then all is not lost and the importance shifts to how well you can finish that will count but even then the very nature of sport means nothing can be guaranteed.
Point 2. The winter comment was said based on the squad he had which was more suited to a dry track than a winter one and the winter results showed that to be the case and connecting both comments we finished better than we started eventually losing to another good side in the play offs by the narrowest of margins which again is what happens week in week out in sport.
In connection with that no club at our level have squads big enough to be at the same strength in winter as in summer it's another well known aspect of the sport that everyone who knows the game will have heard being said.
Just one example, Fev beat Wakefield on a mud bath but got ripped apart on the dry try tracks.
Especially to start with you are either weighted with the bigger plodders or with the smaller mobile guys and later you may try and bring in some size or speed as the season goes on depending on your needs, finances and availability either by direct signings, loans or DR's that's simply just how the game is now we're not back in the 70's 80' or any other by gone era.
Apart from that how does Finn inheriting everything from Grix explain some of his signings and his team selections which have been just as much a headscratcher without receiving the same amount of criticism from the same ones who continue to give it out to Grix?
All that being said though the bottom line is you chose to start this all by bringing up Springer and Doro again years later after the Doncaster game which whilst not amounting to lying about someone or something, whether it's dressed up as an opinion, judgement or whatever it's based on ignorance of the events and amounts to a total misrepresentation of the facts concerning the people involved and named by you which is simply wrong and untrue, that's what I object to.
