100% Official Griffin for the next 2 years

[redVinme]

If you have a spare 500k possibly

Fancy that we do! We will probs have to pay over though haha

 

[TomRedVRiver]

who would your choice have been mate?

Wane.

But preferably Fitzgibbon if the board weren't f**king incompetent.

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

I hope I will be saying this this time next year (Im sure I will) but lets get behind Griffin and start our journey back up to where we belong.....not for just the team but for all us supporters that have had to endure years and years of mediocricy....Im not inexperienced enough to think results are going to happen overnight because they wont...but for mine the appointment of Griffin is a huge step in the right direction

 

[blue bags]

I’m feeling so bloody good now I might go hit the misses up for some action

me too , your misses , she is a goer

 

[Smug Panther]

Can we have Burton now pls

Zero chance. Many MANY players think Hook is an arrogant wanker. Young Matt will be well informed

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

Wane.

Fair enough mate.

I wouldn’t have been too keen on another rookie coach after the debacles that were Brown, Price and McFlop, but each to their own mate. I think Griffin is the best of a mediocre bunch.

He will get you guys in the finals probably not much further but will set up for the next guy when the board wants more.

He will get the guys fit. Do the basics right and play the kids ( which you guys should do more)

All in all decent enough signing especially without Gus to get in the way

How many of those guys are playing elsewhere and struggling?

So players need a cuddle. Some need strictness... Those that want a cuddle then Griffin ( and a few others ) isn't for them

Well this probably what we need , someone who is not a mate to the players , a wanker will do me if he gets the job done ....

And if players need someone to get on the piss with them and fart ass around all season, then McFlop is their man

 

[redVinme]

Hook can get us to finals and then Dean can come in and send us back to 15th. I havent seen a shred of a first grade coach in him based on experience or success. Even on nrl 360 they said he did pretty good for a couple of weeks then the "team" did poorly and was inconsistent.

How about lost to two plodder teams and only just beat a 3rd..

f**k off to another team and prove You belong.

Hook first up needs a strong attacking coach as assistant first and foremost.

Not a bloke in charge of the 15th best defence last Year

 

[qld redvee]

lets hope that hook has been looking at the roster while he has been interviewed we ( he) needs to identify the players that are not wanted whilst targetting those that can add value to the current team . I would like to think griffin will look at moving cam back to hooker and hunt back to the halves and rebuild the forwards with a quality prop ( with attitude) and a replacement for frizzell Main thing is we need cc cup back next year so the whole squad gets game time Be interesting to see the backroom changes - i wonder if our meditation guy is feeling on shaky ground

 

[franklin2323]

Exactly why Hook was needed. Total opposite as Smug Panther said plenty will hate it but if he wins 55% of his games. Then they will have to deal with it

Why is it your turn to do the dishes

If he's anything like he was at our place, the first thing he'll do is get the team supremely fit, so that they're not surrendering leads late in games. Then he'll look at the junior setup. You've got a good enough roster to make the finals next year.

Griffin took credit for a lot of work with our juniors that he simply had nothing to do with. His interview on NRL 360 after getting sacked was pathetic. Yes he will get them very fit though

 

[boardlumps62]

A sensible appointment, probably the best coach available on the market. I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do with some of the young players coming through.

It’s a real positive that he’s worked with Young and they have a working relationship from Tonga. Griffin speaks highly of Young and vice versa. Its refreshing to know that they can just get cracking pretty much immediately, unlike the sh*t fight happening at the Dogs.

To the people expecting a top 8 side and massive recruitment drive next year, I think you’re misguided, if not delusional. Of course we will look to strengthen in some areas, but we shouldn’t be desperate and we shouldn’t sign players at the detriment of some of our younger guys.

There’s no chance of another side picking up Norman or either of the Sims boys for next year (Even if half the members of the forum think we can just release them), so Griffin needs patience - Hopefully over the next 2 years we can see a side that’s becoming a real force, even If it’s not straight away or even in his first season.

Will Deano be assistant to Hook?

dishes no problem. i just love seeing her do her thing

 

[Crush]

Seems like a sensible choice.

has runs on the board and is an outsider.

thank god not another rookie coach

me thinks someone high up from St George has been reading this forum.

If someone high up is reading this post...please f**k NORMAN OFF RIGHT NOW!!!

I think the club are looking to offload Norman to the Sharks. And I'm not talking about the NRL team.....

 

[Dragsters]

Absolutely Wane over Griffin. Without a shadow of a doubt in my mind.

Me too, but Griffin it is and he's ours now and I will back him until he give me reason not to...
