I agree people are making out that Griffin is some sort of 10 stone p!ss wet prop who cant burst his way through a paper bag like our very own Mr Fielden who imo does not even have the size of a prop anymore but thats another story.

Griffin allong with a Aussie hardnut would be pefect Griffin is hardly the smallest around super league is he? and also has a past track record of knowing how to handle himself. He may not be the best in the buisness but a rough and tough player like he is is something we are crying out for and if rumours are correct him allong with a Aussie would see our pack lay the foundations for our halfbacks.

I agree, I think what we are lacking the most in our props is agression. We need a couple of props who wont back down and will get in the face of the opposition rather than just going through the routine of a set of 6.

Because he said when on form he's one of the best in the league.

I believe he is - clearly not of the standard of the three you put forward but by 'best' I was referring to the top 7 or 8.

Have you heard anything of this? or just wishing we was in talks with him?

That aside I would give anything to have Sam Thaiday over here big unit and takes allot to put down he is just what we are lacking at the mo. Get him signed!

Haven't you heard Thaiday is off to Wakey, yes Wakey no I cant believe it either but there convinced he is.

Webb has the potential to be a brilliant player over here if he comes. Its just whether he recaptures his international and origin form or continues his inconsistency of this season. At least he's an hard b@stard who will mix it up.

Griffin I'm unsure about, seems aggressive but is he actually any good? Better than Coley? Was it him who got in a fight with Hansen at the JJB earlier this season?

Tronc AND Thaiday!

Why is it everyone else can get a good pack apart from us

I don't think it's a case of whether he wants to come I think it's more whether the UK give him a visa, that for me is what stopped the webb deal, the uncertainty of getting him in the country.

I know just Imagine were they to get Thaiday as well as Tronc that would be one hell of a pack, they must be putting something in the water at Wakey, probably gold coins.

I'd love us to get Thaiday, he'd be a big success over here IMO.

Agree with you there, just cant see him throwing away his Queensland and Australia place to come to England to be honest.

Thaiday to Wakefield....not in the next 6 years and highly unlikely ever.

Right so if we've signed Griffin and an NRL prop, some people are saying that Coley has been offered a new deal? What about Bailey too, surely we can't have signed 2 forwards and then renewed deals for Bailey and Coley? Wouldn't be fair on the likes of Mossop, Prescott and O'Carroll
