I know if it aint broken dont fix it but could be worth a try, If it doesnt work put it back. Out of Beale and Hoffman I'd put Hoffman at fullback but it seems a waste to put Beale on the wing.
He'd be safe under the high ball, could do his dummy half runs from anywhere on the field not just the right, has the hands to set up outside support, not to mention the strength to get offloads away, would be a safe last line of defence and his step would be handy in the second man play. Sure...
What about in '06 at the end of the year when Karmichael got injured and Hodges covered him at fullback, then remained there until the end of the year and we tore everyone apart to win the grand final. Hodges was awesome at fullback. I think he would be able to do the second man plays better...
