Another old boy coming home.

Re: Griffin? : Sun Jul 09, 2023 9:09 pm  

He will be available for potentially our final 6 games of the year. He has been very good in the second row for FC this year no doubt. I suppose the 2 year deal will include if we get relegated. It does worry me another 33+ player coming in, but realistically who else is going to join us right now, we are only going to attract players who are equally happy to play SL or championship. How he has kind of been cast aside by Hull FC will hopefully give him the motivation to be a very good coup for us. Welcome back Josh.

Happy with this deal.

I'm happy with this, hopefully he has a point to prove.

Re: Griffin? : Mon Jul 10, 2023 7:23 am  

Don't mind this, happy with 2 years glad its no longer than that.

Re: Griffin? : Mon Jul 10, 2023 7:38 am  

A big change of mind by me having looked back at a few of his games!
At this time I'd much rather have an older guy with experience than a younger guy with potential. We need players who can hit the park running and Griffin can certainly do that.
I was critical of the club for the Dagger/Hall deal - I was wrong! We needed Dagger much more than Hall.
I am very supportive of the club regarding Griffin - very shrewd move.

Another 33 year old on a 2 year deal,good addition for rest of season but another 2 years after that is strange one for me

One more player coming to the dumping ground for old ex S L players .When we going to learn How many old forwards\ players do we need .We started with a team of them at the start of the season .The coach said we are signing two players of Quality .If this is the coaches idea of Quality you can see why we lost our first 15 games

Re: Griffin? : Mon Jul 10, 2023 9:12 am  

I will give him 2 or 3 games to keep his gob shut and get involved.

He is not going to improve the mutual appreciation that exists between Trinity and Kendal

For God’s sake man, give it a rest, instead of constantly criticising, just get behind the club and those trying to keep us afloat this season, most on here are trying to remain positive about our survival, and until it becomes mathematically impossible to avoid relegation I will remain positive, and back the club.

Sorry ,but I look at the bigger picture, Say we survive, by just bringing in old men in to the club we will be back at square one for next season.A team of old men. Going on Friday ,was thinking about booking a trip to Scotland for 5 days ,but changed mind because of Wires game at home .As far as backing the club , I am in a very lucky position that I have been invited into hospitality a few times this season. But next season all being well I am paying to go into the hospitality for the season .So do not make out I am not positive or backing the club .Like a few on here stand back and look at the bigger picture .3 wins to me does not make up for a 15 match losing start to the season
