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.

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

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

Ah see you Jimmy away to Jockland with ye.

Josh has been a fine servant to Hull in the centres and latterly looking a class act in the back row, it’s a real shame he felt compelled to tell Kendal the truth in emotional circumstances, he will help Trin in the fight to stay up, and the club has acted quickly in what must be difficult circumstances financially. Good luck Griff

We’ve just brought a 34 year old back to the club to rally the troops ,a master stroke and who would argue if he decided to turn the clock back and stay another season ? By which time he will be 35 . James Roby 37 ,LMS 37 ,Liam Farrell 33 need I go on . As I’ve said many a time it’s not the size of their age but the size of their heart that determines a players worth,

33 year old. He will be 34 May next year.

Physically he looks in great shape and strong so no issue with this.

Quote: Trojan Horse "Next year we have Pitts and Kalepi signed up for second row. Kalepi isn’t that old tbf. Griffin would be good till end of this season. Would give him the chance to put himself in shop window although the way Pitts and Ashurst are playing these past few games I wouldn’t drop either of them.

Guess we will see how this pans out. Who ever plays though I’ll back them.'"

And how many games has Kelepi played for us recently, more time on the physio bench than on the pitch ,. Do we seriously think we need one player for every position or do we have players fighting for their position . I’ll stick my neck out and say Griffing is the best player in his position at the club at present whether that be centre or second row ..lynne looks like his gearbox is stuck in permanent slow gear , Ashurt looks like he needs a break to me whilst young Crofts isn’t the finished product yet and has a fair way to go imo

Here's hoping he's up for it and can keep his gob shut!

Worth noting Lyne and Ashurst have been looking much improved and playing well last couple of games.

Croft is only 22 but he’s been going well since his return. He’s definitely one for the future though and I hope we arrange a deal for him for next season.

Some real negativity here. Griffin has been immense for hull this year. He takes his health & recovery very seriously so should do job for 2 seasons but the reality is you’ve signed him for the last 4-5 games this year.

He made a silly mistake and it’s cost him his career at hull but it definitely won’t happen again. He’ll eat up metres for you, get you up the pitch and break plenty of tackles.

I’d have kept him at hull for next year and he will have a massive bearing on if you stay up this season.

This is the first time I’ve actually thought you’ll be a super league side next year

Deluded if you don't see this as good for us. Definite improvement on what we have IMO, even if you disagree with that, he clearly adds quality depth and competition to the squad.

I hope he stays away from training at the club or we may not see him play again this season. It’s getting pretty bad when the coach is also injured.
