I think we have a team with too many utility types, without a clear position.
I'd argue that
Hastings
Doueihi
Brown
Peachy (when in form)
Are all great 14s, we still pay Mbye too. These guys could all play a similar game as a link man who can run, with Brown being a decent hooker too. Brown deserves his spot for now, but I've seen this before though, we all have, most recently with AD and Jacko. Guy comes in, makes a splash, but after a few months comes back to the pack when other teams figure them out.
I think Laurie would be our best #6 if he got a shot, he is a genuine spine player, I'm not convinced the guys listed above are. On Brooks, he isn't a utility so let's keep that discussion in the other thread.
