We already have too many halves, all of which are better than Sandow.
I'm really beginning to warm to the idea of Gids being named at lock, but playing more of a roving game from the back (kinda like a more talented version of Anasta at the Roosters). That's his next best option to fullback imo, and if we get Boyd, no doubt he'll be our #1. Gids just crabs across field too much and doesn't have enough playmaking skills for either 5/8 or centre imo. Playing a roving type game would allow him to chime in when he senses an opportunity, without letting him take control of our plays and screw them up like he does in the halves.
My only worry is that we'd have too many cooks in the kitchen so to speak. However I think we have that problem now with Gidley in the halves because he automatically takes charge...but we look our best when Mullen is in charge and running the show. De Gois isn't really a play making hooker either like a Cam Smith or a Farah, so having Gids in the middle, and Boyd out the back would give us another string to our attack which we've been sorely missing imo.
1. Boyd

5. McManus
6. Henry
7. Mullen
8. Snowden/Tui
9. De Gois
10. Costigan

12. Taia
13. Gidley
14. Hilder
15. Pato (if he improves is horrible workrate. If not KOD/Cook).
16. Fass
17. Edwards/Mark T/prop Bennett brings along.
No idea what will happen in the centres. It'll depend on whether we keep Sau and if Likiliki makes the step up. We still have Wes too. I'm not too worried there.
