Quote craigizzard="craigizzard"Fair enough. Except he'd also play the club's best hooker (Randall) at half-back. Not saying Orr was incapable in the role, and didn't know his junior background. I was just using it as evidence that McDermott will possibly play those not known as hookers (Smith, Burrow) at spell hooker/dummy-half.'"
Where a player is named on the team-sheet can bear little or no resemblance to the role he's actually asked to play in the game.
I suspect in those games where Orr was named at 9 and Randall at 7 they will have both spent time in the dummy half role, while Randall will have defended in the more central role usually occupied by the hooker.
