If QLD had another decent 5/8th, with AJ and Ponga injured I'd put Munster at fullback and Holmes on the left wing. I dunno if Hunt and DCE would combine well.
I don't mind that alternative.
Munster is an excellent fullback and would allow him to chime in on both sides of the field. Felt his first half was poor, because he limited himself to the left side, but at fullback he has full freedom to go where he likes.
Also allows Grant to come onto the bench, where he can play the same role as Bhunt or Friend can play that role as a tackle bot.
I recall Tigers played a game which utilised Grant in the same ball playing lock role as Hunt and he turned the game... it was when Liddle was relieving off the bench, but Tigers lost momentum and threw Grant back on to have something like Benji, Doueihi, Liddle, Reynolds/Brooks and Grant all on the field at the same time.
Allows Val to be on the wing, where we know he excels... I think he'd do fine at fullback as well, but I still worry about his hands. Munster's hands not so much.
Hunt & DCE as a halves pairing scares me though. Munster took control of the kicking game in the second half last night and really turned the game by constantly locking them into the corner of the field. We lose that with Bhunt at 6, because he's not left footed and makes it harder. Munster could still chime in and kick down that side of the field, but might be a lot to start asking of him.
So basically
1. Munster
2. Val
6. BHunt
7. DCE
9. Friend
14. Harry
OR
1. Val
2. Sami
6. Munster
7. DCE
9. Friend
14. BHunt
Think I'm leaning towards option 1, but would require a lot more work from Munster to be effective
