Griffin has been the poorest new recruit so far - he was known for poor defence and nothings changed - his attack so far hasnt been much better either - he shouldnt play and i dont think he will - Radders dropping him last game was right and nothings changed again - he shouldnt play tomorrow - Michaels for his faults is a better all round player

Can't make it tonight, away in the Dales for our Wedding Anniversary. Lets keep the momentum rolling and get to the top of the table. Another big game needed from Washy but if he plays like last week that won't be a problem. COYH.
Griffin IMO should get his chance. He seems to be the new whipping boy for some when infact he was no worse than others when we was getting hammered. Yes he has faults but maybe a spell on the wing will help. He's quicker stronger can offload better than Michaels who won't be here next year but has been a very servant. I would like griffin to be given another chance.

He was one of the standout poor performers for those games though, and people are right to criticise his performances.
I agree he has pace and power, but he has some genuine frailties in defence that need a lot of work on.
Of course he deserves another chance, but I don't think that should be at the expense of breaking up a solid back 5 that are playing well at the moment, unless injury forces it.

Yes people where right to be critical of him but others where equally poor . I'd still give him a go on the wing just to give us another go to especially as we are struggling in the forwards . I like Michaels and he plays 100% but for me would give griffin a go. Won't be devastated if not . Anyway tough match tonight and hoping we can get a win. COYH

I'd bring Griffin in for the Widens game., who in my opinion have some weak centres. This could be the ideal game to get Griffin up and running to his attacking best
No one was complaining about griffin's defence in the first few games. In the last 3 home games our missed tackle count is appalling right across the team
