Hooper would have better impact from the bench then Pocock. In my view Pocock's value is better utilised as a starter, if he is reff'd out of the game he can be subbed early for Hooper.
Hooper has been consistent but not that good to not even consider starting a player of Pococks calibre - often regarded the best 7 in the world.
I wouldn't call picking the best 7 in the country a "dick move" - maybe its just better for the team.
To be fair, if it was a choice between either of them it would be a 50/50 call between Hooper/Poey. We all know Timani will go to the bench though.
I think I'd prefer Hooper.
Pocock is a turnover expert, but he has a pretty bloody average running game and his tackles are not aggressive enough for a guy his size.
