Josh Kerr has implored St George Illawarra officials to make a decision on Anthony Griffin, admitting he fears for his coach's mental health amid intense media scrutiny.Griffin's future has remained in limbo for the past month, after he was told in the pre-season the Dragons would begin canvassing options for next year.Off-contract at the end of this NRL season, Griffin has watched his Dragons go 2-4 to start the year with three crucial matches ahead possibly determining his own future.The club's board met earlier this week, but will hold off interviewing any potential replacements until a decision is made on whether Griffin will be re-signed."He is going through a bit of a rough start to the year with personal issues as well," Dragons forward Kerr said."Having this news dropped on him, he is coming in every day willing to work and doing the exact same job every day."No one should be going through what he is going through at the moment."He has handled himself really well, I don't know if I could do that. Be slandered by the media and then come in and try and do a great job."Kerr admitted he was worried about the load it was putting on Griffin as he awaited a decision, while constantly being questioned by the media on the subject."He is only human at the end of the day," Kerr said.
