Well I haven't a clue what's gone on but hope it can be sorted out soon. Griff's a big player for us and was hoping he'd step up another gear this season and make an England spot this Autumn.

Maybe we have a coach who has good strength in depth in the forwards and is playing horses for courses and saving Griff for another team on another day?

Griffin is our best forward. With Eorl out If Brown wanted him to play he would. Brown does not want him to play quite rightly.

However we need to get it sorted quickly and to sign another prop. We are too light in the forwards now. Any more injuries and we have big problems.

however i think Brown is superb in the management of the situation. His interchanges at Bradford were the sign of pure genius.

I look forward to the situation in 3 years when we have a proper Brown team. I will judge him then but so far he is superb.

By saying we need to get it sorted and buy another prop are you inferring Griff won't be playing for us again

Durham its Quite obvious the the Coach does not share your views,just look at the stats on the Engage super league site,just the frontrowers .

And divide those stats by the number of games the player has played...

There is inside information about a bust up between Griffin and his younger brother on the training field. Nathan Brown not happy.
