Something needs to be done. The thing is that the Broncos kept focussing their point of attack to that side of the field, and time after time they just broke through it. Literally the same play was executed three times to score their first three tries. It is our weakest link, and whilst teams know this and we don't fix it, I can't see us winning that many games.
Maybe we need some fresh new blood in the backline, like Howland, giving Youngquest another go, or maybe even promoting someone like Gordon. I don't know. But history has shown that a player has to be in absolutely shocking form for JL to drop them. Hookey may be found wanting in defence, but he's going all right in attack. Galea should be played off the bench for his utility - we lost Lewis in the second half, and had to slot a second rower into the centres.
It's all about balance. This 4 forwards on the bench I believe bit us in the ass today.
