Harsh but true.

I've completely missed this so could someone answer a question for me:

Why the f*ck are we interested in Darrell Griffin?

Is this a serious rumour? Is Griffin likely to sign?

If we sign Griffin Lenegan had better have signed a world class prop from Aus.

And even then Griffin is a crap signing.

As i understand it Griffin deal has been agreed, or had been more of less, recent events may have an effect on this but prior to this week it was more or less a done deal.

I don't think he'd be a complete crap signing.

He'd offer us much more in going forward then most of our current props, should imagine it'll only be till the end of the season, so why not?

Pathetic from Lenegan if true.

I haven't seen a lot of Griffin admittedly however, what I have seen of him tells me he isn't the answer to our problems.

In fact, is he even any better than Coley, even if he is a couple of years younger?

If we sign Griffin and no other prop then we have another write off of a season.

If we sign Griffin and a higher quality prop then one of Prescott or O'Carroll is going to have to go at the end of this season. I'd rather give both a chance this year and next rather than be rushed into a decision due to signing Darrell Griffin!

Heres a comparison with a man i'd regard as Saints 4th prop(even though he starts the games i'd say he's about 4th in the quality ranking) - http://www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2009 I'd say Griffin comes out on top overall considering he's played 4 less games.

If you look at the stats against Coley, per game Coley comes out on top in almost all departments. Wage dependant, I'd rather keep Coley than sign Griffin, at least he's already here and settled. In reality though, we should have one of Prescott or O'Carroll as fourth choice prop. Not some 30 year old.

Prescott needs a loan deal away from the expectations of the Wigan fans on his back to help him develop.

and O'Carroll, well your'll be lucky to see him play at the start of next season
