nathan brown said he wnated a faster ack ebcause he knew bradfords pack would get tired and he was right. as far as i am concerned griffin did not play because of tatical reasons and griffin will play on friday night v hull. i will be a bit worried if he doesn't play then.

Hope you're right.

Not even made the 19 this week!

Given the win versus the Bulls and the forced change re Finnegan I am not surprised about Griff. Keep changes to a minimum. 3 games down and 24 + to go, players wil get plenty of chances.

Haven't read any of this thread, I just wrote this straight away. Is he fit to play for you on friday night or not?

He's not even in the 19 if that helps!!

Tah!

He's playing for the reserves against Hull tomorrow night at YMCA.

Is that him or Josh?

Him and josh

is he coming back from injury or does brown prefer korky?

been a very , very, naughty boy as monty Python might put it.

Well I haven't a clue what's gone on but hope it can be sorted out soon. Griff's a big player for us and was hoping he'd step up another gear this season and make an England spot this Autumn.

Maybe we have a coach who has good strength in depth in the forwards and is playing horses for courses and saving Griff for another team on another day?

Griffin is our best forward. With Eorl out If Brown wanted him to play he would. Brown does not want him to play quite rightly.

However we need to get it sorted quickly and to sign another prop. We are too light in the forwards now. Any more injuries and we have big problems.

however i think Brown is superb in the management of the situation. His interchanges at Bradford were the sign of pure genius.

I look forward to the situation in 3 years when we have a proper Brown team. I will judge him then but so far he is superb.

By saying we need to get it sorted and buy another prop are you inferring Griff won't be playing for us again

Never again?!!

Watch out for a Griff look a like at the YM tonight. The resemblence will be stunning.

His mother found him in bed with a member of the People's Front of Judea?????

Shouldn't that be the Judean People's Front?

Durham its Quite obvious the the Coach does not share your views,just look at the stats on the Engage super league site,just the frontrowers .

And divide those stats by the number of games the player has played...

There is inside information about a bust up between Griffin and his younger brother on the training field. Nathan Brown not happy.

Tripe.

Danrill,i think you will find that 1 of our frontrowers has made 226 mtrs more and over 50 tackles more,and has only played the 1 more game,mate irest my case.

And fair play to that frontrower who has had a great start to the season. But let's not try and twist things into something they're not eh. I know how stats work and I know how to break them down. Whatever has happened has happened but let's not start trying to paint a picture that Griffin is crap.
