Quote bonaire="bonaire"Griffin may have been playing better but has no guile to be a quality centre that we need and his tackling,passing/timing is not good enough.
If Kelly is fit then Connor is the best option at right centre.
For me Griffin is ideal coming off the bench as an impact second row.Had his best games coming off the bench.
If we sign another big centre/wing to replace Fonua and the more i see Griffin play he is more suited to a second row forward.'"
He had plenty of guile in the MPG.
Griffin appeared to me to be suffering with confidence. Maybe it was the new environment, the expectation, the bigger crowds I don't know, but he's beginning to find his feet. His defence has always been his downfall, it's his reading of the game and positing, rather than his physicality, but again, I've seen this improving of late.
Also, we're not a side that throws it wide often. He's barely had a chance in open space, and rarely gets the ball in a position to put his winger away. It's similar for Carlos & Fonua on the other wing. We don't play expansive rugby and I think he's taken a while to adapt to that and realise how he could be more effective in the way that the team plays.
He's not a second rower IMO
