Not helping the second strongest member of FT hardly makes him a coward. I know he's not as strong as Laxus it is perceived that hes not as strong as Mira which is debatable because Gray has beaten tougher opponents then Mira. So what makes you think he cant take her? Kagura has only beaten 1 person EVER and shes suppose to stronger? On what grounds?

As far as him being hugged up with Juvia, he is a guy who's he suppose to hug up next to, a cat? You may think his fights are are boring i don't. His fights with Silver, Lyon, and Ultear were not (his fight with Sugar Boy i'll give you that one).

The Shield of Spriggan was over hyped by Makarov because he didn't know how strong his own guild had gotten over the past year. Which is a surprise to me because Laxus had beaten Jura when he was the 5th highest wizard saint. Laxus could possibly be on the level of God Serena now over the past year which puts him on the level or the SOS.
