Quote: mark_m "because Tony Smith (who knows better) saw fit to give Ratchford the 6 shirt and Myler the 7 shirt clearly indicating what he thought was the best combination. Whether I think O'Brien is an option is irrelevant.'"
Ratchford was due to get the number 1 shirt, & after Briers earlier than expected retirement Ratchford got the 6 shirt & Russell the 1 shirt, how would Smith know the best combination if it was untried & tested. Maybe Smith thought Myler would step up to his responsibilities instead of going missing when needed to play along side & guide a relatively inexperienced half back. And as you say yours or even anyone else's opinions on here are irrelevant at the end of the day.
, maybe your right but briers is my childhood hero cant do no wrong in my eyes
