Encouraging performance. Still has a long way to go but tap work showed that he's coming along ok.
Has time yet..

Hmm I don't want to see Griff crashing packs as I fear he will break into a thousand pieces

As long as he reforms like T-X (Terminator 3) Its all good!  ;D

Griff will be a gun, will become a Roughhead.

Might even be as good a CHF as Wayne Carey Luke McGuane, circa Southport days.

Great result and probably the biggest positive out of the game for mine..well done to the big G. I really hope he keeps this up.  :clapping

It's amazing what a few games does

Only a practice game with no real pressure, but looks promising

If only he had been given opportunities like Edwards and co.

Was the first time I have seen enough in a whole game to suggest he might make it.  A much improved game from him.   :clapping

I have said this many times before.
If Griff had been given as many chances as Vickery, he would be a better player than him by now.

Imagine if Vickery was payed down back, down forward, in the ruck, dropped to the magoos after one bad game……

The guy has been poorly handled by the RFC.  He has oodles of ability but just needs consistency and faith shown in him.

I guess the best thing is we can have both.  They are just so important to our structure and flexibility now.
