You people left out Chris Clarkson

Is he still with Jodie Gordon? If he is, that would be a quality signing.

Well he plays second row for the roosters! Mostly 11 this season. So I do think he would have a role as a backrower or stand off. But he is mr pundit for fox. He could earn just as much in the media and coaching as he would at Leeds without the $hit weather, miserable vibe and economic $hitstorm which is far from over.

Good thread this.

If true not blown away by the signing. There were other props out of contract who I would have had before Griffin but he does seem to have improved over the years, so shall give him a fair crack

Could blend in quite nicely.



He would add the aggression that I've been screaming for, he does need to watch his silly penalties though. Fine line between aggression and sillyness.



But he has good tempo setting a platform and has good hands both with the offload and ball retention.

I thought Watkins was in fact a Left Centre (4)? No?

Would be a very shrewd signing IMO.



As for those who are underwhelmed, I don't know who some people expect us to sign to be honest, Shane Webcke perhaps?



I can't speak for the NRL but there aren't many props in SL better than the ones Huddersfield have at the moment - Griffin, Mason, Crabtree and Patrick. You only have to look at the Hudds forum to see how worried they are that Griffin looks set to leave.

Are we not talking about Griffin? So why bring the other three Huddersfield props into it? Griffin is the worst of that 4.



Like I said on the other thread, you talk about who else could we have had. Mason, Graham, Huby, Carvell, Ferriol, were all out of contract for end of this season, and all are better than Griffin.



I would guess that would be why people are underwhelmed. Not so much that Griffin is a bad player by any stretch, but just because there were better alternatives, and there is much better players out there.

Carvell and Graham are better alternatives but not realistic ones.



Huby is overrated and has no aggression. Ferriol is probably underrated but has too much aggression.



Griffin is more or less on a par with Mason. However only one of them got called up for England last year

Agree with above, Its not that Griffin is rubbish but there were better alternitives, However IF we do sign him wont be too upset, and he is a improvement on Cross

And look who is selecting that england squad. The greatest manager Bradford have ever had! oh no wait... Mcbannana
