Look, I'm already missing the footy, it's raining and my brain needs something to do. So I thought it might be fun to come up with your most left-field gameplan which you think nobody could possible have thought of, but just might work. Here's mine.
Hooker: Jarryd Hayne. First thing we're going to do is totally revolutionise the game by putting our most dominant player at hooker. After all, how can it be a bad thing if your most dominant player has his hands on the ball as much as possible. Hayne at dummy half would ensure that the marker defence was constantly looking for him to run and as a result our forwards would find it far easier to work their way up the field. Hayne would be encourage to get out of dummy half both directly and sideways and engage the opposition constantly. Opposition defences would be constantly scrambling as every play-the-ball would represent a threat.
As such our forward play would focus totally on mobility which would actually suit our pack. We'd be looking for as many quick play the balls as possible, and pushing offloads and short passes from the forwards to again focus on giving Hayne as much opportunity as possible to run and break up the defence as much possible. Meanwhile, Sandow is encouraged to be constantly sniffing around the ruck, and he's looking to run off our forwards and Hayne from dummy half as much as possible. Because we've created so much space out wide because we're so threatening in the middle, we're really focused on structured, set-plays with out backline movements. Luke Kelly plays six where he's our steady/link man in the backline (with Paulo playing a similar role from lock on the alternate side). Jason Seage is our fullback for his ability to hook in as the extra man and make the right final play.
Chris Sandow plays fullback defensively to remove him from the defensive line.

I thought I'd kick off with my most conservative left-field gameplan. I'm the Jack Gibson for the modern era :-)
Sorry Crow, my ultra-mobile side would run your mob of big boppers ragged. I think Hayne would score seven.
But I think Sandow is a definitely possibility. Wasn't quite left-field enough for me.
after reading both suggestions
phils one trumps crows any day
Oh Sorry, i just thought i saw a herd of unicorns and a few unicorn breeders in here, its only Phil and Crow,
carry on.......
Blessed are the unicorns, for they shall inherit the earth
And they shall each inherit 'rose coloured glasses' to view their brave new world through....
Fui Fui Moi Moi as Fullback. his kick returns would be awesome!
