If you could call it a tackle.... still I was very impressed with Aliberts pace.......I thought he was actually tracking too close to Riley and if the Bradford chasers where a bit quicker and could have got near Riley he may have got in the way.

fortunately they were carthorses and it didnt matter...

haha

this was nothing short of a fantastic try form Riley and i will be shocked if it's not up there with the try of the season, anybody who thinks it was easy to do what he did is nieve beyond belief

Great bit of skill, i loved it. You wouldn't think a player like Riley, who tends to struggle with his confidence during games would have the ballacks to pull it off and back himself but he did. Fair play to him.

He could well keep Richie Mathers out of the side, which might actually be a good thing.

Got to agree with you. He was clobbered but should have hung on. Earlier try was a cracker but Johnson did the hard work.

Paul Johnson IMO is the classiest player in your team - why Smith thinks he is a winger - god knows.

Good victory and well done, Bradford are poor but I still think you would have beat most teams playing the way you did tonight.
Now move forward from here and prove you are as good as you looked (except Clarke who is poo).

As has been said.. anyone from Saints or Wigan or Leeds scoring that try and we would not have stopped hearing about it for the rest of the season.

It was pure class, vision, pace, control and execution. Try of the season.

I personally epected Halley to get past him, but after watching it again, Halley contemplates taking Riley out, but instead does a slow jog back to try and catch him. Annoyed at Burgess though, taking him out after he scored

I think people are making too much of that, he didnt exactly clobber him.
He probably genuinely thought he could have got there before the ball was down. He couldnt of been that far away otherwise we wouldnt be talking about it now as Riley would of been dancing a boogey

He's fast
He's ginge
He makes Dave Halley cringe
Chris Riley
Chris Riley

awesome try but when he runs he looks like one of those seagulls after an oil spill on the beach

Burgess is stagnating at Bradford, he really should have signed for Leeds when he had the chance. He could waste his talent.

Riley is getting better and better at spotting the holes in other teams' kick-chases - admittedly there were plenty in Bradford's last night. Top game.

I've been a Riley critic before and have to say how wrong I was, still think he needs to make a few less handling errors though, I'n mow a believer.

well known video site

How do you come to that?

cos when i mod see's your link

BS, riles had put the ball down before burgess even threw himself, it was reminiscent of adrian flynn on richard henare at the railway end in 96. There was no need for it at all.

Superb from Riley, individual try of the season so far.

No need for [ithat[/i music

He can run like Mr Bean for all I care, just as long as he makes yards/the tryline.

Great try and apart from one mistake which everyone is allowed he had a real solid game at Full-Back, not sure what's going to happen when Mathers is fit.

He makes alot of errors though

Ball retention is his only faluire at the moment. He'll come through.

It wasn't that bad. The poor pass from Johnson and the one near the end when he nearly had his head took off/eyes raked out. Can't really blame him.

Monas was poor though with ball rentention and dodgy passes

I thought Monas was ok last night.

To say he was poor is very unfair.

It took skill and judgment for Riley to wait for the ball to bounce up; he didn't panic knowing that a rolling rugby ball will always bounce up and took the opportunity.

Absolutely superb try. Good on him.
