| Agree with you apart from Beswick at LF. Our back row of Laithwaite Goulden Taylor is doing very well. Equally, there wasn't a better back row in our division IMO last year, than the Goulden, Littler, Taylor option that Basil went for. Basil also invariably started with Duffy at hooker. I agree with him on that too. Would have Nicholson or Beswick on bench. At least we have options I suppose.

7.McNally .
9.Duffy .
13 .Beswick .
I would give this formation a go ,and if it didnt work nothing is lost try another formation , i feel Riddy has got intoa comfort Zone , but he will get his form back .

| Can totally see where you are coming from about Riddy and McNally is a good halfback. However, considering that Russell did not get selected in Wigan's Good Fri or Easter Mon 19 man squads and did not play for us either and he is NOT injured, does that not perhaps suggest, he is not going to be playing much for Leigh. May be totally wrong, but seems odd IMO.

| They probably just wanted to have everyone available for over the Easter period just in case, maybe he could have played for us if we’d have had a game yesterday and they knew they were injury free from Friday.
Don’t expect to see any DC’s to play in the CC.

Charlie,
Of the 38 non-individual tries we have scored this season, Riddy has created 11, followed by McNally with 7. The next after that has created 4. I know statistics (Source Dave Parkinson's 'Facts 'N Stats) can be misleading, but Riddy doesn't seem to be doing too bad, eh?

| I like Riddy and believe that he Ryan would make a very good pairing. I would like to see them start. We have very rarely seen the two of them together for any length of time this season. When we have, it's gone very well indeed. Unfortunately, one of the times we did, was at Salford, when Ryan came off the bench, but the mean beggars at the RFL didn't give us any league points for that one.
Riddy should start for me. As you say Alan, there are some good stats to back him up there. However, also as you stated Alan, stats can be VERY misleading, when taken in isolation. Do we have any stats for example, for the number of times Riddy has ignored massive overlaps on numerous occasions this season, in favour of stepping back inside, bombing inevitable tries. IMO he has had a stuttering start this season, but is slowly finding his confidence and form again. As I said, he should start IMO.

| Well that's just not good enough. Ha! Your stats are very interesting, but I am just backing up you and Alan, in saying that they can be very misleading in isolation. All stats are like this and often only tell half the story, but are excellent to read in the programme nevertheless.

Alan , im just saying make a change at half-back to see how things go , if it doesnt work , then change it , we can afford to experiment against the Hairnets ,Riddy has been a bit quiet of late , i know you are old enough to remember the Great man John Woods there was a Stand -off , what am i saying you probably remember the Ink Spots and Al Martino .

| Martin has 'much more' to his game, Ryan is the 'quickest' thing I've seen a Leigh shirt for years.
2 'Great Players' not room for both in the starting 13 unfortunately, unless one plays scrum half.

Let's hope Fev knock out Cas on Saturday then Ryan will be able to play for us no matter what, as there won't be any need to worry about him being cup-tied.

| ryan brierly was sensational today, 4 tries. ok it was against lower level team, but the tries still needed to be scored, message to rowley play this lad from the start when fit, by doing that you will give us a chance of picking up wins, like fingers crossed we will do on thursday v fax. duffy is a quality player, but he should be rotating with nico at 9, and allow riddy and ryan to develope what i think could be a wonderful partnership.

Steven young man we have ALL been calling for Ryan to be given a chance for a few weeks now , you are not the first myself i have called for McNally as his partner , but must admit Riddy had a good game on Sunday , though again as you say against a lower level team , still this might do his confidence a power of good , i hope so , as both will have to be on top form on Thursday .

It could be worth a try Tony , im all for a bit of tinkering with the team to try out different options , but i do feel feel Riddy had a decent game on Sunday , but as you say why not try something different ,a change is as good as a rest.
And as they say in Cards ,you cant see a blind man .

| You cant tinker with the team against a classy team like Fax, I suspect Ryan will be on the bench Thursday.
