He is a strong enough ball carrier that he can play at the line and interest defenders and he has the hands to link play. He can defend well against all kinds of players and is well capable of 30+ tackles per game.
It isn't the ideal scenario, but there are two reasons I am suggesting it.
1. Even if Griffin does play in the backrow we still have 5 top quality backs and only 4 spots. This allows us to have all our best strike players on the field as much as possible.
2. Our attack has been massively improved this year, and I put that in no small part down to Westerman. I am concerned that going back to a prop at 13 will stifle us a bit. Even if you start with a prop at 13 to lay the foundations and then move Carlos inside for a spell I think it's worth exploring.
As I said, wed lose to much go forward and be weaker in defence with Carlos at 13. The game is about forward dominance and he isnt big enough
This ball playing forward is just bull , a 13 that can pass a ball , seriously !!!! We’ve done fine without Westerman, we’ll be fine with a big forward, a rugby player , who can pass a ball left and right 5 metres
