| The same Griffin who some on here preferred to Gareth Ellis in the squad?

Although I understand some of you are glad to see back of him, it's a great signing for us. He's been outstanding for us this season.

Oh dear, indeed. Try reading the quote again and see if it makes sense to you a 2nd time. |

Could have been a good player for us, but obviously turned out not to have the right attitude to fit in with what's required to play for the Leeds collective.
Given that he was signed after a bidding war with Saints, you'd expect a fair chunk of salary cap has become available. Again.

He was absolutely right. We did not need another second rower, especially one who cannot get through warm ups. We certainly didn't need a maasive amount of salary cap tied up on an old injured player where we have a tonne of depth.
Griffin was a decent enough prop who fell out with the coach. Luckily, we also have a fair bit of depth there too.

P-a-lllleeeeeeeeeeeeeease tell me you did not bookmark quotes from over a year ago just for when this very moment happened.
Also, as im sure others have said, we are top heavy in the back row and needed a front rower. No one said Griffin was better, just that he fit the criteria of what we needed more. |

Like Morley, collected a few rave reviews down under - which panders to Aussie self-belief in their ability to turn an ordinary pom into a good one - but never really cut the mustard in internationals and has been a disappointment at that level. NRL clubs are very astute when it comes to judging when a players best days are behind him and Ellis's time is clearly up there after 3 seasons of hard graft.

There was a moment when he mentioned the word "squad" when you could feel that he almost had it...
Presumably Tommy doesn't think there are different playing positions. Meh. |

| It was pretty obvious that Griffin was going, given that he's been "Doing A Senior" with his 2013 training kit over the last few weeks.
There's even a pair of pre-worn undershorts on there at the moment  |

This was going to be my next post but you beat me to it.
By the way, kudos on using the word "wazzock", can't remember that being used for some time on here.
Other underused words that could apply to the Hullian:
Pillock
Smeghead
Gliot (although Mark did use this the other day)
Scally
Cretin
PondScum
Bottom feeder
Oxygen thief
Mentally understaffed
Dimwit
