after walking off the field today and exchanging words with a spectator mr griffin decided to launch a bottle at him. the security were there in a flash and realised the problem was caused by griffin. id like to think this is now a matter for the rfl, what an absolute idiot and to think hes a proffessional player.

Was this during the game? I saw the stewards charging in from all sides but didn't see what for

yes during the game think there was about 10 left hed just come off.

Wondered what all the stewards were doing rushing down there. Should get dry buggered by the rfl for that.

When we played at Headingley in the play offs he put two fingers up at the crowd behind the posts, he doesnt like Wakefield fans cant think why...

Saw it as it was just infront of me, think the wakey fan called Griffin a "Bellend" and he totally lost it, offering the fan out and shouting to "come here I'll have you" the wakey fan just laughed then griffin threw his water bottle at him, was lucky not to hit him or another fan and also a few younger supporters, not a pretty scene all round to be honest, for both wakey fans and salford players

Hardly an unprovoked attack wether he's a pro or not.
Call someone a bell end expect a consiquence - wether he's a bell end or not (and he is.)

He's a pro and should take the stick, thousands of other pro sports man do

I remember My mate shouting ' Bloody Rubbish Turner' at Derek Turner as he left the pitch at Headingly after a Boxing day defeat when he was coach in the 80's. He eyeballed him and said 'come down here and say that'. He shut up.

Get what you're saying but you can't go reacting to people in the crowd that way,there would be absolute bedlam if players acted that way. In fact even if you're on the street and someone called you a name, you can't go throwing you're weight around.

Was it Wayne Bennet who said that if you listen to the crowd, you'll end up sitting with them?

Not nice to call him names, but he should be able to rise above it; I'm sure his loan club will be very pleased if he cops a ban.

Ha ha are you for real ? YOU ARE SERIOUSLY

Post remove and PM sent.

Your average teapot has more brains than this numpty. With his physical attributes he should be a top player, but he lacks application and his attitude stinks. I would have thought that working with Peacock he would have learned how to remedy this, but the guy is obviously too thick to learn from one of the best props in the modern game.

Arent we in a warning for failing to control our crowd....Hope we dont get hauled over the coals for our part....

Nah people shouting stuff at players has happened at every game I've ever been to and as long as it doesn't cross the line to racism or homophobic chants etc it's alright imo. The players aren't bothered by silly name calling and generally they rise above it or give a bit of banter back if they hear it.

I don't agree. Bickering is unfortunately a part of the game, they hear it from the opposition and their fans, they must ride above it.

For what it's worth, I saw some Facebook pictures a couple of years ago showing Griffin's front room (I think he, Solomona and JD were playing Guitar Hero, if I recall correctly). He has a framed Wakefield shirt on his living room wall.

Just thought it was worth a mention.

Was this just after he had been brought off for mouthing at Halibut who then penalised him ?? The next tackle he went in like a man possessed, and was then substituted, I believe.....teddy out of cot springs to mind !!!!

I thought it was a dug problem with the crowd when I saw the stewards rushing to that area

not very clever from both parties

I bet its not dirty!
He let us down badly in the relegation fight when Kear took over, so much so he was dropped for the Case game as he couldn't be relied on.

From memory, it was the 2004 shirt. Maybe his play-off shirt.

Yeah, 2006 not a good year for him.

Think Wakefield fans need to leave this alone.
Whether Griffin should have reacted it was started, not for the first time by a Wakefield fan (idiot fan imo)
It doesn't do us any good.
Don't know why they were so bothered about him as the game was at a key point then.

No player should react to a fans banter no matter how harsh it is. The way to react to a slagging from the crowd is not to react and carry on with the game. I was stood in chavs corner and the salford lot were shouting at Ali (fat c---) but he did not react at all. Well done mate. As for Griffin he should be dealt with sevearly by the league and his club.

It makes no odds Griffin should just laughed it off and walked away, if the bottle had hit some one not involved and caused injury, he could of landed him self in hot water...
