Griffin could be our metre making winger next year.
Think Rawsthorne won't be far off the first team next year either. Need some impact off the bench, but think that's improved lately by mixing up who starts and who comes off the bench.

Briscoe would be a good signing, never hit his form that he had at Hull whilst at Peeds except for the odd game. British, strong and quick, Radfords type of winger.

Would Leeds Release him and wouldn't read to much into him attending a Danny Houghton event as they will be good friends.

On another note, good profit that and if we beat Leeds we should be looking at similar or more (due to money from away tickets) with some being invested into recruitment and retention

Would agree with that. Not sure how the land lies between him and club management after his exit to Leeds though - didn't seem to be handled that well, but as you say Radford's type of winger and would free up a quota spot.

So why did Radford when talking in his interview earlier in the season (re salary cap increase) state quite clearly that the club only just broke even last year?

Because making a prfoit may mean some loans etc. have been paid off (or dividends), you really need to let the Radford issue go.

I take it you wont be going to Doncaster, seen as Radford and the Club are so useless?

Honestly I think Briscoe is done, he's not going to improve by coming to us.
He's still a reasonable std winger but is nowhere near where he was and has fallen down the pecking order massively with respect to England, he also hasn't learnt from his defensive frailities when with us, has lost some pace and even the Leeds fans are stating he (And indeed Ryan Hall) doesn't have the capability of busting lines/bringing it out as strong as he used to.
I think there are better options for us frankly that won't cost as much, as Cas have proven, if you can get the ball out you don't need a superstar on the wings.

Let what go? Radford is our coach, what happens both on and off the pitch he is integral to that so he is relevant to pretty much all discussions.
You said we made £xxx, I simply mentioned that Lee Radford came out in his interview and stated that the club did not make any profit and broke even last season. I think that's quite important given what we are discussing here re recruitment and retention don't you think?

As for your jibe about Doncaster, where have I said the club/Radford is 'so useless', I've backed Radford/the club when they are doing things right and when things aren't going right i've made critical comment.
I haven't started stupid threads this season about us being in the middle 8s (despite being top 4 still) like one particular poster, nor indeed have I given up half way through the first half on my team again and again by the same poster, she continued to post game after game that we were going to lose etc with barely half the game gone.
Unlike her I don't give up on my team no matter how I feel about the coach or the players, I come a considerable distance through thick and thin (& yes even when I was angry about how we were going so did a petition to vent my anger/frustration) and have done so barring a period in the 90s for reasons that are none of your business.

I'd already mentioned upthread that I'd travelled 740 miles to watch the two home CC games already, and that is by the by, but I'd already decided that despite it being closer to Donny to me there are other things I have to do that are more important.
I've already moved a cycling trip so i can go to wembley should we beat leeds but again that is of no concern to you to what matches I go to or not.
Start actually reading and comprehending what people have written and stop acting like a child with pathetic backbiting!

Anyway if Griffin pulls his finger out like he did on friday then the right wing slot is his for next season with Nick Rawsthorne the back up wing so i dont think we need another wing particularly as Logan will be pushing for first team and can also play wing.
Like Knocker said if you move the ball out wide fast and create the space you dont need a superstar wing but Radford likes the wings to be big and powerful to get us moving forward at the play the ball and Griffin for all his faults can do that.
If we are to spend some money i would rather we sign a centre or big second row.

Another option could be to sign a young championship winger, someone like Ethan Ryan or Will Oakes

Oakes is signed up to Rovers until 2020 IIRC. Ryan looks to lack the physicality Radford likes?

Might have a clause, he will do what he thinks is best for him, as he has shown already
