I see Josh Griffin is turning out to be a real find

Is he ? we couldnt find him defending last night

Yep Ryan Hall found him out thats for sure

I think Ryan would struggle a little if he had to actually reach the line or not rely on knock ons for his tries.

Clearly wasn't a knockon

The guy can obviously score tries but is SHOCKING in defence. I've never seen a player be dragged inside so many times. We need to chain this guy to the wing so he stays there. Absolutely useless.

He has the one thing you cant teach! Pace

Give him time the right coaching and getting rid of goldy from his and maybe
he will come good.

But no quite ready yet

Not much point scoring 1 try through good pace when conceding 3 tries through non-existant defence.

If you read all my post you would see I also put

To be fair to Josh , on his twitter this am he knows it wasn't his best game and usually players that know that strive harder to make amends next time ,so i for one am confident that Josh will get better (and he did score against Leeds



)

Don't get the fuss on this one. Josh is still a rookie who you got from the worst Trinity side in many a year. He has the potential to be a good player, way to early to expect great things just yet.

So when we play you on June 24th there wont be a repeat, down his wing?

What he said

Sense from Vasty, im off for a lay down

When you have an idiot in the centres who goes in field every time, the winger has to come in too to stop there being a gap where the centre should be.

Once he gets a proper centre his defence will improve.

yes he gets drawn inside, but it is usually to fill the gap left by the numpty called mcgoldrick

it is about time cas let McGoldrick go.

he can not tackle always out of position, shots out of the line.
he as played Fullback, Centre, Stand off & Loose Forward and only the position he is good at is sat in the bar with a beer in his hand.

McGoldrick must GO!!!

My Cas back line for London would be:-
FB: Owen
W: Youngquest
C: Dixon
C: Thompson or Grehan
W: Griffin

Owen
Dixon
Grehan
Thompson
Griffin

I think playing Dixon in the centres is just a way to try and accommodate everyone but Youngquest should play in the 20s until he's back fully match fit, at this point Griffin is on form and Dixon is far better on the wing than in the centres - where he also has a tendency to come in field for some odd reason.

Hope not mate

Although i agree with others saying Goldy must go, i'm not 100% on this all being his fault that griffin keeps coming inside.

I also agree though - he's a rookie and has a big future ahead of him.

I'm also seeing huge improvements from Owen from last season and can only see him getting even better over the season and next.....

BUT, with both players - we need to start feeding them and bulk them up that bit more.

Watch the game and you'll see that the only reason Griffin comes inside is because of McGoldrick.

The winger HAS to come in when the centre does, McGoldrick flies out of the line leaving a 3 on 1 overlap for Griffin to deal with and it lead to a try at Salford, 3 at Catalan and another 3 last night.

Mcgoldrick at loose forward,rest jones against london

Worst tackler on the team...I know play him in the position that requires the most tackling!

Are you Terry Matterson?

lol just my opinion,1000's will disagree lol

Winger's prime aim is to score tries, If Griffin gets 20 plus tries thats good enough for me. He will tighten up on his defence. Would you prefer Michael wainwright wholehearted never beat a man but tackled well. No Griffin every time.
Look at martin Offiah the best modern day winger by a country mile twice as good as Ryan Hall, he never tackled a man, but score nearly 500 tries. Scoring is the main function of a wingman else you would but someone like Stauart Jones there.

39 tryies this season if he carries on at current rate
