Jermaine McGillivray been told his contract isn't getting renewed for next year, worth a year for some experience on the wing to allow Barron and tindall time to develop or too old at 35?

Griffin has gone from telling Hodgson to eff off, and still getting picked, to being bundled out by Tony Smith.

AP looks like he’s given TS free reign to run the rugby side, so there’s only going to be one winner.

If TS did say withdraw Griffin offer. What a strong message to send to the squad.

We have been crying out for a culture change at the club.

TS looking like the man to do it.

Lots of our fans have moaned for years we've been too sentimental with recruitment, then when we're not sentimental enough... They moan! I agree it's a good message to send out to the rest of the team

Absolutely not he is done

Griffin only just survived Pearson's cull when we still had Radford in charge . Looks like he's finally ran out of luck .

Jafe Clifford is a good scrum half but outstanding he isnt - Is he an FC great either ? - no. And if he cant even honour a small two year contract then quite simply he was here for a free holiday and nothing else. Let him go and forget he was even here

Sorry Seb but his performances say he was not here for a holiday
Its disappointing he is going but put yourself in his shoes.
I am sure most of us would tell the club im leaving at the end of the season if a lucrative contract was offered from Australia

What binning our best player this season apart from Clifford based on showing a bit more passion towards a joke of a ref

He could have cost the club a lot of money if we had beaten Saints and got to Wembley.
Plus its not the first time his brain farts have cost the club

By my calculation, Griffin is available for only 5 games, if we don't make the playoffs. If we are not offering him a contract, let him go early . .
By the time he gets match fit again, it will probably be the end of the regular season anyway..

If the club are sensible then thats what should happen

As others have said he is finished as a top wing in S/L
If you have real pace you are halfway there as a wing,so if these young guys we have coming through have the pace then the club should be blooding them,mistakes and all rather than bringing in a name and pushing them backwards again.
Barron made his debut but made a few errors and was never seen again.
If you make errors then you should be given the chance to rectify them and gain some confidence.
McIntosh is a prime example

If he wishes to leave it's best to find out now than September although I guess the club knew that this would be a scenario and had planned accordingly.
