First thing, PLEASE don’t make Barnett captain or even co-captain as you will lose that aggression he brings just let him play his game and run that fine line between aggression and over aggression.
Second let’s not pick Moga, let him go
Third let’s give Crossland a go at 6 while we are short of players, can’t hurt, and tell Pearce to work with him, give him some freedom to do his thing, no point bringing him to play like Mann, might give Pearce time to think and consider his options.
Fourth let’s play Mann at 9, he will give it his all wherever he plays, Randall on bench to cover 6 & 9
Fifth introduce someone new like Toa on wing, he can’t be worse than Moga and will likely be needed if Best is out.
Sixth let’s use the bench better, today 2 off HIA, Best injured/restricted and King only used last bit even though we played a man short for 10 mins
Seventh let’s pat on back for Tuala, Best (until injured), Hunt, Mann, Barnett, Guerra, JSaf, Klemmer and Crossland for big effort
