The club are only allowed to fine him 2 weeks wages which i hope they did.
He hasnt been paid off in full its an agreement between Griffin and the club

Agree above.
Wakey wanted griffin for this season and griffin wanted to go and FC didn’t want him.
Then it wouldn’t make sense for the club to pay off his contract.
That’s what I was inferring on my initial post

I still hope we get more of an explanation off Smith to why he has been released now.

Can't imagine much more will be said.

Nor should it be. Its a club internal matter and they don't owe us an explanation.

I agree.

Hopefully an overseas signing to come in with immediate affect

Dan Tomlinson seems to think we'll promote Staveley. Andre should be back this week too apparently.

I agree completely with that but we're so light in the pack.
Hopefully released to free up funds to re-sign Savelio and allow further signings for next year.

Like to see Staveley being given an opportunity but if we are pushing for a play-off place I feel we need another backrower especially with Savelio's injury record.

I can't see anything other than a money decision, had plenty of opportunities to play Staverley, this week or in front of Lovodua.

Hopefully Staverley gets a good run in the side and we can see what he can do.

I'm hopeful we bring Litten back too (apparently played well for the reserves), but think Shaul will get the nod.

I'm gutted about this, one of my favourite players of the last few years.
