I think the talk about Hayne going back to the Eels, Moylan to the Sharks, and other player movements James Maloney going to Penrith has slipped under the rader a bit. I think with some of the players Penrith have lossed there is some pressure on him to step up and perform this year. If it all goes pear shaped there will be a lot of finger pointing the swap wasn't worth it despite the fact it was Moylan that forced the move.
Griffin in his last year of his contract will be under the pump this year particularly when you have coaches such as Des Hasler and Michael Maguire waiting in the wings. Interestingly Mark Geyer has thrown out the suggestion that Gus Gould should take over himself if Griffin gets punted. Gould has been reluctant to be involved in club coaching since he departed the Rooster in 1999, its been a long time between drinks.
