I would be happy with 60 goals with an average 27 hit outs per game. ;D

Maybe some of those hit outs could be to himself and he could kick a few goals from 75 metres out

Anyone know how Ben is going injury wise, I have heard he is having shoulder trouble, although it's minor.

I expect Griffiths to play this week

Have said all along I expect this weeks NAB side to be as close to our round 1 team as possible, only exception IMO will be Cotchin. Can't see him playing this week

So has he had injury concerns, if he does play do you think he will replace Ty or will they rest Ivan?

I am not aware of any injury concerns

Reckon Ivan will play and Ty ..well who knows

I just don't think we can play Griffiths & Vickery in the same side, it just doesn't work IMHO

Ok, well let's hope there is no concerns and he plays.

Most of the time they played together we were missing Ivan in the ruck so that already is unfair as substituting him for Hampson is like a 100kg handicap in the Cup!

A super-lean Ben Griffiths is ready to slot straight into the Tigers' forward structure.

Wow he has leaned out, wonder if his speed has improved as a result, looks in great shape.

Looks like he's thickened up in the thighs, where it counts most, which is great to see.

Good luck to him.
