PLAYER RELEASED.
- Thread starter bp_tiger
- Start date
Griffin was an excellent depth player who never really was given a chance in top company, has a great motor and ball skills, but we will always prefer the 'run up, get tackled, get dominated, slowly play the ball' type of player, it has got us to where we are in todays NRL, I don't see why we should change it.

It's official now. Announced on tiger's website. Just says he is joining another club
Doesn't necessarily mean he's been punted for Lovett.
He's probably homesick and gone somewhere closer to home. Why toil away down here when you're zero chance of playing FG here and another opportunity becomes available?

Wests Tigers release Rod Griffin
Wed 8th February, 11:50AM
Wests Tigers have today released Rod Griffin from the remainder of his playing contract with the Club.
Griffin, 30, has been released from the final year of his contract, effective immediately, to take up an opportunity with another Club.
Griffin joined Wests Tigers for the 2016 season and was a part of the Club’s Intrust Super Premiership side.
Wests Tigers General Manager Football Kelly Egan wished Griffin well as he continued his playing career at another Club.
“On behalf of everyone at Wests Tigers I would like to wish Rod the best of luck at his new Club,” said Egan. “During his time at Wests Tigers Rod has shown time and time again to be committed to the Club, both on and off the field.
“As well as being a part of our Intrust Super Premiership team Rod was always the first player to volunteer to assist with Wests Tigers’ community activities which is a testament to his character,” he said.
Griffin, who has played 10 Test Matches for Papua New Guinea, joined Wests Tigers from the Ipswich Jets.
