Disappointed. I, like others, saw potential in his performances for the future. Good luck to him.

British Rugby League is not in a position to let promising young backs like this to to union. I think Rugby League has lost this player for good.
I would hope he's not replaced with a has been or never was player from the NRL for the good of British Rugby League.

He's gone to Leeds Tykes who are a poor RU club, and he had only plied (or tried to) with poor RL clubs. If he is such a loss, I wonder where the big clubs are with their offers??
Personally I think he is at his level, and whoever is his employer is getting a poor rugby player who seems to have higher views of himself than any of his previous employers who have sought to replaced him with better players.
IMO of course!!

Not a bad player, but at best only average.

Griffin has everything required to make it at the top level - only injury or lack of ambition can stop him. He's only young and his best years are ahead of him. As for his poor defence I suspect that's as much to do with the general poor playing patterns within the team as much as him. Wingers are always more exposed in these situations, though for me he was always a centre anyway.

Vasty - I remember saying exactly the same thing about Wayne Pryce.

Had some potential but cant say that i will miss him too much. Didn't help his cause by giving fans so much stick either.

I'm only suggesting he has the physical attributes - something poor old Wayne didn't - the rest is up to him. Pryce was OK but his small stature in a game where wingers were becoming giants saw an end to him - that and the brain farts
