Madge isn't a ****ing idiot, he isn't going to upset 2 of the best halfback talents in the comp get shitty so Hunt at 37 can have a bog average saoire. He is playing hooker but even then I don't love what that means for Mozer.
I think we still need all of Paix, Bhunt, Mozer, Billiam and Buk heading into next year.
Although a question could be asked if you only take one of Rogers or Billy... I think the hybrid lock / hooker role that Rogers has been doing could easily be done by Billy and it's basically the same role that Bhunt would be playing this year in a full strength side... but I think you only need one of Billy or Rogers.
Looking at depth charts for halves and hooker... as well as lock it's probably something like
Hookers
Paix
Bhunt
Mozer (should be aiming to jump Bhunt or Paix)
Billy (not yet signed)
Buk (likely your break glass option)
Halfback
Pezet
Duffy
Bhunt
Billy (not yet signed)
Five eight
Ezra
Duffy / Pezet?
Billy
Bhunt (break glass)
Lock
Patty
Willison (doesnt ball play and will be starting prop next year)
Talty/other middles
Billy?? (As a ballplaying tacklebot at lock)
Bhunt?? (As a ballplaying tacklebot at lock)
So whilst it looks like we have a shitload of hookers, it's also those hookers who are doubling up across halves and lock... providing great value and squad flexibility.
We'd have ~9 guys covering 9, 6, 7 and 13... as well as 14... and let's say 18 (half cover) each week... so we're needing 5-6 guys on gameday each week.
