Munster should get the nod but Hampton will likely get the nod IMO

I still think Hampton is possibly our fullback once Billy retires... assuming we keep him so I would assume he'll get the nod. He was never a 6 in my opinion, but don't forget the games he played at full back for us, including his debut against Gold Coast

I'll be really annoyed if it isn't Munster. Hampton still needs to work on being consistent every week.

So the potential fullback candidates are:

Cameron Munster - my preference, means the rest of the back line remains intact. Powerful ball runner and can pass - also a passable goal kicker if required.
Kurt Mann - filled in well there last year but, moving him would mean a back line reshuffle - one of Fonua, Hunt or Kennar into the centres to replace him.
Young Tonumaipeia - played there a lot as a junior, has recent experience in first grade but was recently dropped.
Ben Hampton - has been very good in attack in a few fg appearances at fullback, prone to errors though.
Travis Robinson - only upside I see is he's fast, but, from what I've seen has hands of soap and is a defensive turnstile.
Matt Duffie - only two games into a comeback, he's unlikely to be picked, but, has done the job in fg in the past.

I like that team Matty looks good. Fingers crossed it happens!

On that note i have been really enjoying the energy glasby and kaufusi bring off the bench so far this season. Would be better minus Weston... honestly think the guy brings nothing to the team.
