Usually I don't condone making too many changes to a full strength line-up but I can't see us winning this year with our current 17 unless the sides infront of us drop off big time.
First thing is first, let Hunt play Q-Cup. We don't need a back-up hooker and Hunt needs to prepare himself for next year. Te'o to come in when fit, Carlaw in the mean time.
Beale should also be on notice. Yes, he's been impressive at fullback and in the centres but as a winger he's brought NOTHING other than some reasonable dummy half runs. Considering he's supposed to be the fastest at the club it astounds me that the most experienced half in the game continually ignores kicking for him and opting instead for Yow Yeh who's repaid him a few times streaking down a few kicks.
Gagai to come in unless Beale turns things around. Yes, Gagai is imperfect, but at least he's done something in his time at the position. Beale has been a liability.
Hala onto the bench infront of Anderson. F**k Anderson, that is all. He makes me feel like an angry old man. Hala is at least strong, can bend the line and add some genuine impact. Anderson is just a muppet who throws bad passes and doesn't have the defensive game to justify his selection over Hala.
In short...
Drop Hunt and Anderson - Bring in Te'o for Hunt, Hala for Anderson.
Beale is on notice, serve me up some humble pie mate!
