Griffin's Broncos at 26 percent and sliding

Since Anthony Griffin signed his extension in July 2012, the Broncos record reads as seven wins from 26 games. That is a winning record of just 26%. Griffin’s current contract runs out at the end of 2015.

Although the lack of wins is alarming, what’s more concerning is the direction the Broncos seem to be taking.

What is the thought process with Griffin persisting at using Sam Thaiday as a battering ram in the front row week in week out? As a fan, I’m concerned what toll this is having on Thaiday’s game and body.

Thaiday is best used running on the edge picking out the smaller players – did Griffin not watch how Thaiday was used in Game 2 of the Origin series?

Corey Norman has signed with the Eels for 2014, where does that leave the Broncos for next season? Josh Hoffman is playing great footy this year, why aren’t we shifting Hoffman back to fullback with the view of developing his game?

I have no qualms Norman looking after his future beyond 2013, but as a Broncos fan I want to see that our team is prepared come 2014.

I read reports the coach has what it takes, if that’s the case why are we sitting 13th on the ladder and how on earth are we 26% since July 2012?
