Grix defends changes

Scott Grix: Defends move to revert to regular positions

Huddersfield Giants' Scott Grix has denied changes to Nathan Brown's starting XIII were to blame for Sunday's Challenge Cup defeat to Warrington.

After senior players urged Brown to make alterations, Grix reverted from stand-off to full-back to facilitate loose forward Kevin Brown's return alongside Danny Brough in the half-back positions.

But although the out-of-form Giants opened the scoring at the Salford City Stadium, they suffered a demoralising 33-6 loss to the Wolves.

"We did make those changes so that a couple of people felt a bit more comfortable in their roles but I don't think that was the reason we lost."
