Get to know one of Wests Tigers' new recruits for season 2016 — Rod Griffin!

Rod joins Wests Tigers after a successful stint with the Ipswich Jets in the Queensland Cup, helping the side to a recent National Championship win over the Newcastle Knights.

Really hope Rod makes it into the starting squad

Would be a great story and proves you should never give up on your dreams

Bet he thought all those years ago he'd never be back at the WT's

Well said Happy….If his never give up attitude rubs off on the younger guys...it will go along way in improving the Squad...

Looks as tough as teak. Just what we need!

Short bloke but pretty stocky…gees, we are going to be light up front

Have you seen this bloke play? Well above his weight and can offload with the best of them. Remember there are new replacement rules next year which will suite the lighter, fitter players.

Col, many of us have watched Rod play for Balmain years ago. A good player but I wish he and the other player from Ipswich would not be written up as saviours. Far too much pressure being placed upon them.

I saw him play on GF day and he went well tbh. I hope your optimism proves to be right. It does seem that we are favouring lighter players so hopefully this tactic pays off.

Blokes from Ipswich Paws

As well as Billy McConnachie , Marion Seve is also an Ipswich junior

Greg Lenton has a talent for finding and nurturing talent and I hope he finds a few more from Ipswich. Seve is one of my favourites. Griffin and McConnachie need time to settle in and I don't see the latter as a replacement for Taupau. If we wanted a Taupau, we should have kept him.
