He squeezed in with millimetres to spare..he ran because it was the best option. Tala would of been run out of field easy a man was already covering him.
Griffin in recent weeks has been among our best. Whilst up against good players. Not sure what rationale you're using to make the assumption Gildart will run him ragged
His stats back up he's been no where near as bad as made out for the year as a whole. He makes more metres a carry than even Fonua..with some new found confidence him and Fonua are gonna be keeping Gildart honest as much as anything
Fonua is the concern regarding form currently
Connor is perfect for the bench
Can cover any injury 1 to 7 and is a genuine plan B player who if things are going pear shaped could add something. Could be a luxury if we're winning..but then it won't matter then
Think you should watch the replay again if you think it was tight when Griffin received the ball.He should have passed the ball to Talanoa when the Hudderfield wing came to tackle him.Rankin was coming accross but Talanoa would have walked in.
For such a big man his defence is poor and doesnt seem to be improving and he will be our weak link at Wembley if he starts at right centre.
Gildart is currently the most improved player at Wigan with real pace and all the qualities to be a top centre in the game.
There is no doubt in my mind Griffin will be targeted.
I agree that the form of Fonua is a concern but would you leave him out? NO
I like to have four forwards on the bench and think having Connor on the bench is a waste of a bench spot.
Connor for me offers a lot more at right centre than Griffin.
I would be happy to see Griffin on the bench to come on as a replacement second row
My bench would be Bowden,Green,Washbrook,Griifin
