I get what you are saying Duckie but second rowers, well the ones we have excluding Currie perhaps, do not have the skill set of what you refer to as the historical role of the stand off.

'your day' ..... Well in 'my' day you had an overall organising halfback and a halfback who had a more free role. They still by and large could play either side of the ruck. I still think you need an overall general and neither Austin or Ratchford for me fit that role.

And as an old fart can you enlighten me on what TRM is.

TRM = The Railway Man?

We're going to be in the playoffs, probably finishing 2nd. Hopefully Brown is fit with a few games under his belt by then.

And then we've got Widdop.

Put ratchford at half back and ANYONE else at fullback. Ratchford has some ability as an open field/off the cuff runner. But as a last line of defence he is probably the worst in super league.

So what does last line of defence have to do with fullback?
