I agree its the forwards who are the main problem but to say Griffin is playing better than Tuimavave is rubbish.
Carlos goes looking for work,Griffin doesnt.
He also cost us the match at HKR. I have said previously he cant jump for a ball for such a big man.He was facing the ball as it was kicked towards him and had two options.He could have and should have attacked the ball using his strength and height or used his brain and let the HKR player to catch the ball then make the tackle

Taylor got the hairdryer treatment for his defence in the run up to that try

£100k plus for Watts but how much of that did AP invest back into the squad? Not sure Adam wants to spend now

The biggest thing we need is confidence, unfortunately the only way I see that happening is with a new coach.

Very hard to find 5 overseas quality players, Leeds (On paper)Saints have managed to bring in 3 and we did that in 2016, so if we could bring in 2 overseas forwards and a centre and sign an English forward like Josh Jones and a winger then I'd be happy, but we need at least 3/4 upgraded on those I've mentioned.

Could do with signing Thompson from Saints, what a player but would need a big investment

Whatever issues there were with Watts, a resolution should have been found somehow. Can’t believe it wasn’t possible.

Garbut was available! If we’d got him alongside Taylor then that would have been something. And a true replacement for Watts.

He wasn’t released, he was sold disaplinary reasons that have never been revealed by the club but guessed at by keyboard warriors. Dragging Watts’ leaving the club is really old news.
