Quote ="Roy Haggerty"I'm fairly depressed that Smith is down as the best half in the country. Perhaps a less literal interpretation of halfback would have allowed Ratchford in ?
Similarly O'Loughlin. There have to be better back-three players out there than him this season.
Coaches don't have such a strict belief in loose always playing loose, and stand-off never playing scrum-half any more, so why should the dream team selectors ?
The rest I can't argue with. I recognise this might sound a bit old codger-like, but if those are the best 13 players in their positions in our competition, then we've got some quality issues. Roll back three or four years, and only a handful of them would be good enough to be selected.'"
Like who ? He's been awesome for a number of years and once again this year been Wigan's best player and easily the best 13 in England.
