Maybe but he's getting better every week. 6 tackles last night, some good contested marking and great agility - thought he was cooked mentally before this season.
He's delivering what Dimma expected from Vickery in the ruck/forward role and who knows maybe Elton can do the same in that key forward post.
It's that simple Spud

Would think Ben is well ahead of Vickery after last night

Miles ahead. Probably just because he wants to play. We seem to have stolen Ty's motivation by giving him a 2-year contract.

Yep a classic example of how to stay involved in games when you don't have it on a string, lay tackles, chase, harass take some big grabs at key moments. Isn't leaving anything out there which I love.

I've always been a huge Griffiths fan. Good White Friars lad.

I like the idea of him rucking, he has a bigger leap than Hampson but tap work not as good. I think with the new Ruck rule with less contact with each other allowing a jump at the ball had allowed Griffiths to add his ruck work to his belt. Has huge potential as a Ruck/KPF for mine.

Think I counted on 3 occasions, Griffiths putting pressure on Jordan Lisle in the back D50 and caused a mistake by Lisle, 1 was out on the full, one was a turn over kick and the other was a tackle where Lisle dropped the ball over the boundary line after having prior opportunity which should have been holding the ball.

Love Benny G. Keep it up son
Go Tigers!

Really enjoying watching the improvement in Griffiths

Just prepared to make contests and give 2nd, 3rd efforts

Still along way to go but great signs

love his contested marking and line breaking kicks. More important too us than Vickery or even Hampson when Maric returns IMHO.

In a year where we have nothing to be proud of, Griff has performed very well
and where are all of those who called for his sacking gone

Probably the same guys who magically appear when titch tambling has his once a year breakout game
