| Quote nantwichexile="nantwichexile"Could never understand why Leeds signed him.......anyone still think he has been a better option than Amor was - and could have continued to be?
Still I'm not sure he has been given a fair crack: don't think he has ever been an impact prop in the way Kylie was (is). If Griffin had started matches as the main game player, with Kylie the limited time relief substitute, who knows.
In the meantime, Kirke obviously has the same deeply hidden qualities and will continue to cock a snoot at any pretenders to his particular throne in the chosen 17.
Wonder if Singleton will be the next to fall to his continued commanding presence.'"
To be honest I would rather have kirke in the team than griffin. Not at the exspense of singleton though and would like to see him getting some game time this year.
As McDermott alluded to in his interview he take everything into consideration ie the man etc. and from what I know from inside the camp he (griffin) is a bit of a cock and not a great person to have in the dressing rooms. Maybe kirke is better for the team rather than just on the field |

Fair enough if true.
My main point however was Griffin was signed when we had the option of keeping Amor. |

I agree with that point!!
Would have rather retained Amour rather than sign griffin. He wasn't bad last year but was just a bit invisable |

I thought Griffin was a good addition to the pack when we initially signed him but its not quite worked out. Griffin never showed quite enough to solidify a good amount of gametime even though being in the 17 more often than not. He certainly never got himself in front of Kirke in McDermotts plans as last season progressed. He could be a good signing for the Reds but just didnt show enough here.

For me not given enough minutes to really establish himself on the field but '=#FF0000if' he's a disruptive influence off it - then admit your mistake, cut your losses, ship him out and move on.

Having played rugby in Macclesfield I can translate... "bobbins = rubbish". |

Cross...Wellar...Griff....
Not a great recent run of forward signings. We've cut our losses sooner rather than later at least. But begs the question - why sign them in the first place?

Can't be that cheap as Leeds spend the full cap or at least they do according to the CEO.
Perhaps he's now fully adjusted the books to reflect the considerable % of the cap spend he needs to keep in his back pocket to facilitate the early removal of his ever growing list of 'experimental' signings?
__________
Griffin knocked an opponent on his back-side with his first hit-up yesterday. Some Leeds 'props' won't match that if they play all season.
