Griffin would suit us on the wing I reckon, he's got the pace for it. See who we can sign first.

IMO, We need a power house on the wing with the work rate of Fonua, Griffin for the love of god isn't the answer on the wing he has no pace and only just justifies his spot at centre, there isn't to many options for winger in England right now, i would say look overseas but some serious homework is needed by Radders to get the right man at the right price, hopefully we get some news soon,

Need some more punch on the bench for impact too, murdoch masila would be nice

Thought he was going to Union?

But if we did sign him then WOW.

Very much doubt it though as every NRL club would want him if staying in RL.

The whisperer was dreaming.
