McCrone relishes Ox opportunity

                         ARMED with NRL finals experience, Josh McCrone is ready to take the Canberra Raiders to the next level with the man who took his No. 7 jersey - Matt Orford.                          

Far from displaying any bitterness at being shifted from halfback to five-eighth after a stellar 2010, McCrone is relishing the opportunity to work with Orford, who captained Manly to a premiership three years ago.

Besides that, the 23-year-old McCrone believes moving from half to five-eighth is no big deal these days.

"I'll wear a different number, that's about it," he said.

"We play left and right halves anyway, so it's pretty much the same thing for me. I played on the right side last year and Furnsey [coach David Furner] wants me to stay there on that right side."
