Hooper would be a damn good centre. He and Billy Meakes would make a fine pair.
We can then get a bigger back row that is also more competitive at the ruck.
And my solution for the backs is one I've mooted before - Larkham should do to DHP what was done unto himself - convert him to flyhallf. Looks as though Folau is there to stay at 15, and we do have some competition amongst the Fijian clan on the wings,.... I reckon DHP'd make a great 10. He's got all the skills - distribution, taking the ball to the line, kicking....
my own work - sorry - but I dont have photoshop.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa

By Offsiders columnist Richard Hinds, 19 June 2017
It is easy to kick a sport when it is down, but you don't have to put on the steel-capped boots when considering Australian rugby.
Those running the game sport a pair of size 32 clown shoes with which they constantly kick themselves in the shins. That is when they're not throwing pies in their own faces.
...
But it has become impossible to separate the plight of the Wallabies from the serially catastrophic management of the ARU, an organisation that could no longer be entrusted with running a local T-ball team.
...
In the meantime, perhaps the one thing the ARU has got right is to stage Wallabies games on Saturday afternoons, including next Saturday's encounter with Italy.
Not because that has attracted big crowds to watch the Wallabies, but because in prime-time there was a real danger more people would have seen them.
