I think that is what it looks like. We have seen it with all the rookies. Eventually their bodies run out of gas. They just aren't up to the grind of first grade yet.

Aside from Whare, Blake and RCG... The rest are in bad form. They find something when they need it. Even Yeo last 3 weeks let in soft tries

Just gonna leave this here for all of you negative griffin hating farkwits :)

a positive griffin story, fancy that?? http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-10-...s-coach-griffin-for-making-him-a-star/6825200

now don't get me wrong. ben hunt is only one of the best players in the game running around now. but i guess superstar ben hannant's opinion sh!ts all over that right? lol

seems there are some players who rate mr griffin.... go figure

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A 3 year old story from a halfback who dropped a sitter to loose a grand final, and lost Queensland the origin this year, a player you rate as one of the best players running around...personally I think that you are the farkwit

Whare been your best. So many bagged him.

Eels did you a favour by belting the dragons.

My observation. Panthers have stopped playing tough footy and working hard and grinding away. They seem to want to score on every set and are back to old ways of forwards not just running straight and hard. They can turn it around easy enough. Mansour has yet to hit any form and Peach is finding feet at the back. Time they get back to basics and play a high energy kick chase game.

Welcome. Strong newby comment.

not really.. posted once before at start of the year and go the same comments from the same 10 super fans that post on this site.

if we played like we did today and griffin was the coach you guys would be up in arms about it.. who do you have to blame now? we performed exactly the same as we have the last month.

i'm no griffin fan, nor a ciro hater. i just like to laugh at all of you super coaches who know better.. it's highly amusing.

see you next week ;)

Coaches always get blamed in such cases

Apologies, the Titans converted that try but oh well I still appreciated the effort :)

He definitely looks like he has more acceleration and speed than he has had in a long time. I wonder if it has just taken him this long to get back to full power after the ACL injury? Either way, it is great to have him back. He is also such an excellent decision maker in defence. We rarely leak any points down his side.

I think we need him over on the left. Blake seemed a lot more comfortable defending on the right. For that matter I’d switch Yeo and Kik to keep the Fijians together and give Maloney our two best edge defenders either side. Cleary doesn’t need anyone’s help.

1 game isn't going to change much. It takes time to change habits. Give them a few games and you'll see the difference no Griffin makes.

Just watched the game again and I dont see any reason Maloney is still in first grade. Yet another shocker with yet another interception





If Lui was available that might happen. As long as Maloney has no (new) injury issues I can't see that happening.

I think most, no all of the players struggles yesterday.

Maloney and his intercepts.........it seems to be a new strategy in his game plan. :p

I think he's there for his leadership and his passing game too. :p

After watching Dragons last night. A team that plays poorly and still wins........I'm OK with :D

Maloney 5 and Hetherington 4? I would hate to see what sort of a game a player has to get a 1.
