WAKEFIELD TRINITY star Josh Griffin will miss this weekend’s Championship Grand Final against Toulouse Olympique after suffering an injury in his side’s 22-13 win over York Knights yesterday.
Griffin left the field in the first-half with what looked like a hip injury, with the former Hull FC man appearing in agony as he signalled immediately to be substituted.
The 34-year-old has been a key figure for Trinity in their romp home to the top of the Championship table and played a crucial role during Wakefield’s first-half against York.
However, Griffin was forced off as half-time loomed, and now the veteran has given the worst prognosis ahead of the showpiece event against Toulouse on Saturday.
Griffin took to X to reveal: “Gutted is an understatement. To stay injury free all season and then get injured in a semi final and miss the final is a tough pill to swallow 😟.
“But il look forward to watching the boys finish the job and get the club back to where it deserves to be. 🔴⚪️🔵”
