That's new information that you just came out with. The other day it was that Gilbee said a big name player would be leaving. The thing you find impossible to explain is why Griffin would choose to be character assassinated if it wasn't his idea in the first place. Also funny that they are still going ahead with all this even though the board obviously thought it was a crap idea. Your story has more holes in it than my old mans jocks. matter of fact it isn't right so that makes it wrong.

Well in point form and keeping it simple thats how Lindsy explained it. Griffen would be going and a key forward would be coming.

Nothing like what you said the other day. Did you forget? Still makes not one bit of sense especially as I heard Griffin wanted out because of the coach and its all to late to go back now. Even more strange is the idea that he would accept all the crap he has copped when it isn't even his idea. The story lack sense and maybe a little bit of truth especially as you could have said Gilbee said this the other day but you didn't. Im going with incorrect.

Of course he'd say that. Got to spin this somehow so the dogs don't look a rabble.CURLY wrote:Listen to Luke Darcy at all this morning? Amazing that he said Griffen made the sacrafice that will see the Dogs get a gun key forward.
It's possible that dogs prepared to trade him months ago i'll give you that much, but I'd be shocked if they encouraged him to leave. Prepared means provided for the possibility.
Don't waste your time accusing us of not believing your half-arsed theory if you can't prove it. Burden of proof is on you. How can you be so sure? You've done a great job of convincing yourself, but you'll have to do more than talk to convince the rest of us.

How would you like me to prove it? Next time I will take a tape recorder to my golf games.
Ive got nothing to gain just letting the forum know what I was told by a more reliable source than p66.

Why is he more reliable than Jackson McCrae dad? Your theory makes no sense. You refuse to tell anyone why Griffin would choose to cop all this character assassination if it was the WB idea and secondly you told me a completely different story that Gilbee told you last week. Funny how that has no changed because no one thinks your theory makes sense.

Re: RYAN GRIFFIN WANTS OUT
Your golf game, huh? Didn't your pal say 'a big name'? Not Griffen specifically. Could have been Cooney, who actually has been offered up for trade by the Dogs.
But anyway, the point is not how hard it is to prove, the point is that you have no right to expect us to just accept this idea without proof. Don't get annoyed that we're not just going along with any old tosh someone wakes up in the morning with in their head.
My PERSONAL UNPROVEN OPINION is that Griffen wanted to leave previously, they made him captain to keep him interested, they would have had to privately at least provide for the possibility that he'd still want to leave, but they certainly didn't offer him up for trade. When he asked, they acted shocked because they wanted to facilitate a big trade to get the best of a bad situation.
It's not even important anyway. I'm more interested in our team.

You said Gilbee told you a big name player wanted out of the WB. No mention at that he said griffin. Now you say he said Griffin. Sounds like a fib. And you continue to fail to address that a player who was basically being kicked out of the club also agreed to be character assassinated. Its isn't true Curly and you know it. Just give up on something that is totally fanciful.

Typical of this forum that someone who dares claim an inside story or to know a saints player or staff member gets absolutely set upon by p66 and few rabid pack dogs. It seems only p66 can have 'mates' or 'club insiders' (which is clearly crap anyway) .
Apparently noone else is entitled to or they are all liars.

Re: RYAN GRIFFIN WANTS OUT
I am a little confused how this whole story became such a convoluted conspiracy theory.
Couldnt the Dogs have just proposed a straight trade Griffen for Boyd in the first instance without all the drama of sacking a coach and all the associated drama of Griffen's 'walk-out'?

Re: RYAN GRIFFIN WANTS OUT
Con you really don't think before you type. As I have previously said even if I am lying or being told crap the point is that Griffin is copping flack and huge flack for something Curly suggests was the WB idea. You clearly have some issues you need to deal with. The media are saying Griffin wants out and I am saying I believe that is true. What is your opinion Con or don't you have one. I suggest you WEIGh this up and MOVE forward before the COUNTRY air gets to you. Its a real FAMILY affair at the WB.Con Gorozidis wrote:No possible as noone has more reliable more sources than p66CURLY wrote:Austinnn wrote:Of course he'd say that.
