Plenty of stand-offs started their first class career in the outside backs.
The key to making them a real success is getting the timing right when you move them to the halves. Bradford didn't do that with Leon Pryce, hence they lost him to Saints. We need to make sure we don't do the same with Ratchford. However that doesn't necessarily mean giving him the number 6 jersey instantly. It certainly doesn 't mean McRae is an 'inept coach'?!
If we'd gone into this season with Myler and Ratchford as first choice halfbacks fans would've complained at a lack of experience in key positions. Personally, I think the pressure has been taken off Myler by having Smith as his fall guy. Who would fans have turned on if Ratchford had been first choice stand off?
Love him or hate him, 163 consecutive appearances should make Stuart Littler a Salford legend in anyone's book
