How many times have England played in the last three years?

Absolute nonsense to say that Griffin has only had one good season. You can post it as much as you like, it's still rubbish.

With regard to your comment that Griffin has been a good signing i disagree.He has had one good season in three years.If he had been an overseas player showing the form when he first came people on here would have been calling for him to go home like we have now with Reynolds.
The so called England call up was what Wane called a meeting squad not a playing squad.Griffin has never been named in an England playing squad nor will he ever be
On the other hand Jamie Shaul actually played for England but look at the criticism he is now taking despite the fact he is still our best overall full back despite his limited attacking link ability which we know Jake Connor has.
Griffin is limited as a centre and undoubtably will end up in the second row which i have said he should months ago yet once again the so called know it alls lambasted the idea.
If you watched the Saints game Griffin was poor,lazy and didnt seen interested in the second half.If you dont agree then go onto FC live and watch the highlights and Griffins efforts for Saints last two tries.
If thats the effort we can expect from Griffin then he should be dropped until his attitude changes.
I want players who give it all on the field.Brad Fash is not the most gifted player we have but he gives 100% for the shirt and thats what i want to see.
Irrespective of our so called true fans on here who like you dont agree with my posts i will say get used to it as when i see players not pulling their weight, not good enough or the coach in my opinion getting team selection and bench selection wrong i will continue to comment whether it gets your back up or not
Finally the only other player i have lambasted on here was Yeaman who got away with too much as he was a local lad.
Good player in his prime but stole a living from the club in his final years but i guess you lot will even disagree with that

To avoid any ambiguity. No sitting on the fence. Don't beat about the bush. Griffin. Do you rate him or not?

I didn’t see the saints game, or the Toulouse game, I’m on the Turkish riviera at present.

Bonaire you can’t assume the mantle of chief executioner, then cry like a child when you are challenged, assuming “that lot” and “gangs” are against you.

And please continue to comment, it’s always a pleasure getting you to reveal more of your feelings and opinions, rather than the droning constant negativity, come on yu ull.

All good points but I doubt he'll be selected for the GB world cup squad

Genuine question

What do people think about Griffin's defensive efforts for the last two Saints tries?

Not good enough, but that full edge was a disaster

Agreed.

I don’t think any of them on that side can be proud of their efforts defending those tries?

Agreed it was poor defence all round not just one individual, is it down to poor prep in training, lack of continuity, or mentally switching off? personally don't think its laziness as in they can't be bothered more lack of or lazy thinking and focus. Whilst we have improved in areas we are still suffering from the bouts of loss of concentration and against teams like St's they punish you as they are switched on and focused for the full 80mins.

Wynne was defensively nieve in that game against Konrad - probably thinking he couldnt skip past him and could rush out. Hurrell is still a good centre, Wynne still learning defensively. Shaul was a mess
