I think you answered your own question Captain, with Patton and Smith as backup.

So who plays dummy half (which is probably a more accurate term these days)?

We roll quick ptb with with anyone with good hands and/or an eye to scoot, any quality centre and Ratchford can do this..even quality backrowers like Currie and yes bench halfbacks.

The best pack I ever saw at Warrington had a front row of 3 props.

Ratchford
Atkins
Goodwin
T.King
Charnley
Brown
Roberts
Hill
Patton
Cooper
Livett
Johnson
Westwood

Smith
Philbin
Masila
G. King

Not sure if he would give Johnson another go already,I would.

I think dummy half is the most specialised position in rl nowadays. An occasional pick up by another player is alright but every play starts from there and can’t be left to chance.

Sorry MPN I was asking RD who fulfills the dummy half role in his system!

I cannot wait for the yellow giraffe to appear on this board crying foul as to RD not being named in the original 19 man squad, and we'd be breaking the salary cap to meet his Barbaesque salary!

I'd have been in my element in the Cas away watersplash.
