Oh dear, that’s not good news

It's better than them thinking that Cas will win by 50 !

Although it's not the last game of the season, it doesn't half feel like its the "million pound game".
I hope the bookies are right, a win, any win, will do just nicely.

It's an area where Cas are weak so running him down that line should give us tackle busts and breaks.

Griffin running some nice lines off gale is exactly what we have missed, we don't really have much 'strike' in the second row, shows how much we have missed kelepi

Time to see which set of players care about their respective club the most.

Bet365 have Trinity as very slight favourites.

BetFred have us as evens to finish last with Cas at 8/11

Us having 4 home games left to their 2 will definitely have a baring on those odds.

I'd prefer Griffin in the second row too but I think we need more than "at least he can pass a ball" at centre

Griffin is a wings nightmare.His passing is atrocious,defence non excistent and is flat footed with no pace as a centre.
Any oppostion player with pace or a step can run rings round Griffin when playing in the centre
That said when he was moved to the second row his workrate improved and wasnt so exposed in a one to one tackle.
Needs to play in the second row to be effective for you

It’s worth noting Cas have a few unknown quantities. One of which is a png second row Putt I think. We must get on top of them physically.

Just ignore him. He’s on record as just hating Griffin. He even uses “Griffin” as an insult. Check out his posting history.

Getting a bit nervous now.

It would be nice if we raced to a lead to calm the nerves but somehow think this will be a really tight game.
