Sack Griffin

[saintmar]

Have they sacked him yet

This is the Dragons.Still thinking about it.
Should have been sacked last year and at the very least straight after full time last Sunday to save us that Presser.

Something’s afoot today. I can feel it in my shoelaces.

For what it's worth....Ben Hunt was seen with Phil Gould yesterday at Brighton Le Sands.

That last rhyming couplet didn't finish the way I expected.

It rather a difficult PUNT
When choosing to rhyme with HUNT
though appropriate
It a word I do hate
I'll just call a Cunning STUNT

Des is overseas enjoying a last good holiday for a while. Interview done.
Big job ahead.

I really really hope you are right BUT would be surprised if its a done deal our Board dont act that quick they have a few more weeks of procrastination left yet.

I reckon whether Hunt decides to stay or go when Hook is gone, the ball will be in the club’s court. If he stays, fantastic. We’ve got an organising half for the next 3 years and a mentor for Bud to learn off. If he decides to ask for a release, he will be a very valuable bargaining chip. Imagine who we could get in return with how valuable Hunt is on the open market. It’s not like we are under any salary cap pressure so we could hold onto him until the right trade arises.

A little birdie told me that Griffin is not going to be sacked anytime soon by this board

 

[SBD82]

well i'm in the camp they should pick him in the halves, so learn from him while playing with him

So he can watch Hunt f**k up from a different perspective?

Hunt is a dogshit halfback. How anyone can watch his display on Sunday and think otherwise is beyond me.

Cheap bastards might force his hand to just resign once the next coach is finalised & announced.

This is the same board that extended McGregor at a time when most fans wanted him punted so yeah there’s no way they’ll sack Griffin before his contract ends. It’s clear after 12 years of this they just don’t care about the teams performance.
Frankly I’m amazed any fans still turn up to games after the dribble they’ve turned in this year. An empty stadium is the only thing these idiots might pay attention to. A fan boycott is the most constructive way fans can influence the decision makers at this point.

Is anyone truly surprised ?
watta good look...The Marquee player and Club Captain catching up with the Clubs no 1 agitator ..shock horror...
As previously stated , when Hook is sent on his way ..so will Benny but obv may not be travelling too far down the road
The one good thing to come out of all this will be freed up cash n cap space to go after a marquee forward

I agree but unfortunately they dont see our point of view....seems pointless keep picking Amone....I dont think his mind is fully on footy

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

Have they sacked him yet

Mate dont hold your breath...look how long it took to remove McGregor

 

[Illusion]

We aint winning anything , so if you where Hook wouldn't you try something , like Hunt to 9 swapping with Liddle , swapping also with Sullivan , at times as 7 , gives us options , Hunt 9 , Sully 7 , Amone 6, Lomax to lock , one of the twins to centre , F**K try something , it might just work ., then he is a genius ......

Think emotions have got the better of you, can't blame you though. The club has everyone cooked. Ben's a great halfback, sullivan will be better for the experience of playing with him rather than just watching him.

Good idea. Anything would be welcome. Better to give the younger brigade game time even if we are losing so they get the experience.

Hunt is a good footy player. I think he is an excellent 9.

But halfback is a specialist role with important responsibilities for the team. I challenge you to name one aspect of halfback play where he consistently delivers.

 

[jodragon40]

Well as I predicted sometime ago I honestly believe that the playing group and club have been divided for some years. Moving Lomax from his natural playing position to the opposite side of the playing field was always fought with danger and as an ex coach albeit not at NRL level it is extremely difficult for that player to perform at the required standard. The coach knew this and today it is being reported that Lomax has been dropped by Griffin. It will be interesting to see if any other players in the get rid of Griffin camp are affected. The rumours of the two separate camps both at boardroom and playing group may have some substance

 

[Nanadragon]

This move could backfire badly when we play West's. I'd say there would be some players who will feel Lomax has been made the scapegoat for the team's last 4 losses and therefore won't play their best. If there is a split in the team it will show up on Sunday.
