The thing is with Fielden once that motivation is there to earn a new deal or a deal with another club i expect to see a totally different player.

He could be like a new signing in himself.

No one is saying they want Griffin as our main prop signing but IF we sign a top Aussie prop AND Griffin it will be a good piece of Business as Griffin will only be playing as our 4th choice prop.

As far as I can see in the league there are very few fourth choice props who are better than him imo (Bailey at Leeds is gash as is Hargreaves etc).

I’d liken his signing to that of Fozzard at Saints as no one ever rated him but he’s a tough no nonsense guy who will rattle some feathers which is what we desperately need.

But then some fans will never be happy and think we can sign superstars in every position.

Waste of cap space and waste of time. A signing that would take us backwards.

Please let's not try and talk him up.
