Not his fault the ball didn't come down to the forward line in the final 40 minutes.

Or that he was actually on the pine after being subbed.   ;D

You know it took until the 17 min mark of the last Qtr to announce he had been subbed?

Yeah, pretty sure it was early in the last quarter as I vaguely remember Hislop getting a mention early on but the commentators didn't mention it until much later.

I have a bit of a "don't bad Hardwick" mentality as 18 months into a rebuild he's sort of off limits for me. His critisms will come into his 3rd year.

But..

Who ever made the decision to put Griffiths into the ruck should be hung out to dry.
I'm not suggesting putting the kid in cotton wool. But after 2 Shoulder Recos and all the hype around that hes injury prone, and has all the talent in the world. What planet would anyone think it would be a good idea to put the kid in the ruck..

I'm more than happy for the coaching staff to make wrong decisions by having a gamble, ie Helbig down back, Post in ruck, even selecting Hislop.

But the decision to put a currently fragile Rolls Royce into the ruck against a dirty Ryder and physical Hille was about the stupidest decision the coaching panel has made in 2 seasons.

Very lucky he didn't re injure his ribs or shoulder. Would have been hell to pay.

According to Tigermonk, he is not fragile, but soft!

He has elite speed for a big bloke - example: he runs them down from behind ( got another free kock last light)

Courage has never been an issue with Ben its alway been having too much of it. The reason he has had so many weeks off is because of how hard he smashed in as a junior.

I for one was proud of  his game and hope its the start of many for the Tiges  - who was up against again - was it a first gamer   ;D

100% agree.

Looked to have cramped in the 3rd qtr though, looking forward to a hopeful injury free pre season for Big BG

rubbish we had poor forward structure all night.

how many of our goals were not opportunist or from free kicks ( some dubious)?

Our coaches are FUDGING MUPPETS!

Griffiths can play! Kick the FUDGING football high to Griffiths.

But NOOOOOOO!

We don't play direct!

We like to Substitute him for a piece of planket like Tom Hislop who is H-Wick's favourite!

Looks like Griff can mark, Griff can kick and Griff can run.

Fair enough, he was playing on Harry Taylor on the weekend and the delivery out of the back half was woeful, but, as Captain Blood would have said, "He was getting where the ball weren't!"  Taylor was also  blocking him out of contests he did get to, pretty easily.

It's clear he will benefit from a pre-season where he can build some muscle rather than concentrate on rehab.  Can you build a tank and muscle at the same time?

Run Griff, Run!
