Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid. Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal. Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.

Why the f*ck are we interested in Darrell Griffin?
Is this a serious rumour? Is Griffin likely to sign?
If we sign Griffin Lenegan had better have signed a world class prop from Aus.
And even then Griffin is a crap signing.
As i understand it Griffin deal has been agreed, or had been more of less, recent events may have an effect on this but prior to this week it was more or less a done deal.
Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.

Pathetic from Lenegan if true.
I haven't seen a lot of Griffin admittedly however, what I have seen of him tells me he isn't the answer to our problems.
In fact, is he even any better than Coley, even if he is a couple of years younger?
If we sign Griffin and no other prop then we have another write off of a season.
If we sign Griffin and a higher quality prop then one of Prescott or O'Carroll is going to have to go at the end of this season. I'd rather give both a chance this year and next rather than be rushed into a decision due to signing Darrell Griffin!
He's played 4 less games then Coley to be fair but if he were to be signed for this year or next he should only be regarded as 4th choice prop and for next year we'd defo still need another high class prop to play alongside him, Fielden and Feka.
Heres a comparison with a man i'd regard as Saints 4th prop(even though he starts the games i'd say he's about 4th in the quality ranking) -

I'd say Griffin comes out on top overall considering he's played 4 less games.
If you look at the stats against Coley, per game Coley comes out on top in almost all departments. Wage dependant, I'd rather keep Coley than sign Griffin, at least he's already here and settled.
In reality though, we should have one of Prescott or O'Carroll as fourth choice prop. Not some 30 year old.

Prescott needs a loan deal away from the expectations of the Wigan fans on his back to help him develop.
and O'Carroll, well your'll be lucky to see him play at the start of next season
