Don't get the fuss on this one. Josh is still a rookie who you got from the worst Trinity side in many a year. He has the potential to be a good player, way to early to expect great things just yet.

To be fair to Josh , on his twitter this am he knows it wasn't his best game and usually players that know that strive harder to make amends next time ,so i for one am confident that Josh will get better (and he did score against Leeds )

So when we play you on June 24th there wont be a repeat, down his wing?

The guy can obviously score tries but is SHOCKING in defence. I've never seen a player be dragged inside so many times. We need to chain this guy to the wing so he stays there. Absolutely useless.

When you have an idiot in the centres who goes in field every time, the winger has to come in too to stop there being a gap where the centre should be.

Once he gets a proper centre his defence will improve.

Re: Josh Griffin : Sat Mar 03, 2012 3:11 pm  

yes he gets drawn inside, but it is usually to fill the gap left by the numpty called mcgoldrick

Re: Josh Griffin : Sat Mar 03, 2012 3:32 pm  

it is about time cas let McGoldrick go.

he can not tackle always out of position, shots out of the line.
he as played Fullback, Centre, Stand off & Loose Forward and only the position he is good at is sat in the bar with a beer in his hand.

McGoldrick must GO!!!

My Cas back line for London would be:-
FB: Owen
W: Youngquest
C: Dixon
C: Thompson or Grehan
W: Griffin

Re: Josh Griffin : Sat Mar 03, 2012 3:34 pm  

Owen
Dixon
Grehan
Thompson
Griffin

I think playing Dixon in the centres is just a way to try and accommodate everyone but Youngquest should play in the 20s until he's back fully match fit, at this point Griffin is on form and Dixon is far better on the wing than in the centres - where he also has a tendency to come in field for some odd reason.

Although i agree with others saying Goldy must go, i'm not 100% on this all being his fault that griffin keeps coming inside.

I also agree though - he's a rookie and has a big future ahead of him.

I'm also seeing huge improvements from Owen from last season and can only see him getting even better over the season and next.....

BUT, with both players - we need to start feeding them and bulk them up that bit more.

Watch the game and you'll see that the only reason Griffin comes inside is because of McGoldrick.

The winger HAS to come in when the centre does, McGoldrick flies out of the line leaving a 3 on 1 overlap for Griffin to deal with and it lead to a try at Salford, 3 at Catalan and another 3 last night.
