Look at Rileys statistics compared to a couple of wingers whom most seem to hold in high regard. For an average winger he isn't too bad is he? Stop seeing him as the little ginger kid and look at what he is actually doing. Then think of the wage he is more than likely on, I would suggest that it would be extremely difficult to get better value for money.
An intelligent counter argument. Noone knows player salary, but it is safe to assume Riley is amongst the bottom of the 1st choice 17. Players on the lower wages who can perform to a level are as important as the big earners.
I question those stats though. depends on what a clean break is. For me, using my definition there is no way he's made 18 clean breaks.
Penny needs game time to somehow learn some discipline in defence. I'd worry about Riley in defence, but the likes of Wigan, Saints etc will expose Penny. Even though he's probably the best winger in Superleague with a bit of space. Against the best sides, space is at a premium. Shame, as I love watching him.
