We were total pants. Never looked like scoring after Hadley's try and Shaul was our only threat with his broken field running but that obviously disappeared down the tunnel with him in the 2nd half.

My word, we need Kelly back tonight.

Not just consistent but also our best player in most games.

are you saying you would have him in your strongest 17?
I think you meant to say he is a good squad player but i wouldnt have him in the strongest 17 but a very good player to fill in.

Thats why he has been a poor signing.He was signed on a 3 year deal as a starting centre and not a fill in and has had enough time to settle into the club yet even you who says he is not a poor signing would not have him in our best starting 17.
I agree it didnt take me long to form a negative opinion of Griffin and he didnt help himself with some lazy displays coupled with poor defence and ball handling but as i have said i can still see a place on the bench for Griffin using his size coming on as an impact second row.
Losing Watts has left a massive hole to fill and we currently have no impact from the bench and this is where i see Griffin making a difference.

Thought Griffin had a good game to be fair to him even taking into the errors. Think the kick he put in was just poor execution it a nice idea and had it come off would have bee a great piece of play from him making the break etc. Think as was reported before the game Radford and given them instruction to be more adventurous and think some of those errors were due to trying to push it on just about every play at one point. Once Griffin gets early ball in space and he really can make yards and is a real threat. We either need to use this part of his skill set or fibd a way to use him more effectively such running the lines like Yeaman did with great affect.
Thought Griffin, Mini, Taylor & Carlos were especially difficult to handle.

That said still huge room for improvement but very reminiscent of the game against Wakey when under the same kind of pressure for a result

Griffin had a pretty good game, i'm happy with him on that performance.
Cut out the few errors and its a very good game.

There are extended highlights on the Catalans youtube page for those that want to see a bit more than just the tries.
We certainly bombed a few tries and Griffin did better but as others pointed out, Catalans look like the whipping boy rabble this season.
ATEOTD a win is a win, hopefully we go forward and improve/cut out basic errors/cheap penalties and rack some more wins, at the moment ugly wins will do.
