It depends, the number on the back (6 or 7, not this squad number malarkey), doesn't mean much, Widdop will be the dominant half for the Dragons this yr whether he'll be wearing 6 or 7. Thurston is playing the same as he was when wearing number 7 for North Queensland, still trying to do too much. Ray Thompson and Robert Lui have to step in there and tell him he's doing to much, and let them take some control. Watched some of the match against the Penrith Panthers last yr, he's putting some of his team mates off.
Lewis used to be the dominant half, Johns used to be the dominant half, yet as you know one wore 6 the other 7.

In my opinion the best amateur club in the world

I guess it depends what the coach wants from their halves. Sydney Roosters play with Maloney on the left, Pearce on the right, and they share the play-making responsibility. North Queensland Cowboys have Thurston who basically takes both roles upon himself and his halfback partner Robert Lui just plays off him. Canterbury Bulldogs use their half-backs as second/third receivers and let their prop forwards take first receiver. It really does vary with every team. The definition of a stand off or scrum half is really want the coach wants from them.
