Quote: rubber duckie "My view is the opposite.
I see no reason why if the hooker is solid enough, and not a converted halfback, why he cannot be effective for 80 mins.
I'd prefer to have a utility back on the bench, the likes of Wheeler or Ratchford that can play anywhere and 3 big forwards.'"
I'd prefer Ratchford to be on the pitch rather than the bench against most if not all opposition and that includes games where Russell Wheeler and Bridge are available
