not only Bonaire a few others as well, always thought he was a decent signing and now looks a very good signing, think he was carrying a groin strain last year, as you say 3 good centres but for me griffin and tuime atm are the starting 2,

Thats the way I would go too.
If only we could somehow create a Griffin/Connor hybrid. He would be the best centre in the world.

his speed and playing style are suited to second row, that is clear to see.

The question marks for me are on his defence as he seems to have lapses in concentration and might lose the collision a fair few times 1 on 1 vs some bigger men running at him - both fixable though. In attack no question, he can be a devastating runner.
At Centre I still don't think we've seen the best from him, and he probably hasn't received great service either. I'm glad his form has improved after a shaky 1st season, he's been a stand out in recent weeks.

imo thats putting a square peg in a round hole, griffin is a centre and that's where hes been doing well, yea now and again if we have injuries on the field he can do the odd stint but not fulltime, we have to replace mini if hes going with another second rower, up to the other players to owst griffin,
