to play at prop? he can obviously hit the ball at pace as he has shown. not as unfit as feka and could possibly be a thackray type given the chance

Don't think so but he shouldn't get another game at hooker if Mcilorum keeps playing the way he has been.

is fat

Ever thought of a career in stand-up?

is slow

I'm not being funny you're going to have to stop cracking these jokes off, I think I'm going to wet myself

has the run of a gay boy ,when he does, once a game if your lucky.

Micky behave yourself we all know that you have had your m.o.m champagne and probably feel a bit tipsy but you're embaressing yourself now

just having a pie with it thanks .

Piggy for waterboy for me....give him mathers' old job!

I wondered who it would be now Mathers had gone!

tbh tho dont think piggy would be up for it....hed be doin more yards than he is now running water on and off.....on second thoughts hes not fit enough...we'll have give him a cleaners job instead!

After Riddell, Who will you blame then? I see Phelps is getting it on another thread And Pryce on another.

Ainscough atm unfortunantly

Tbh never had a problem with phelps.....pryce though YES!! get this other waste of space out our club. Been saying for a while I can tell were improving because 2 years ago I wanted about 10 out the club....now I only actually want them two...coincidentally the two players in the club that are both lazy, overweight, and seemingly dont give an S about wigan!! Any wonder I want shut?!?!

Because both players have been here for about 10 games and "Getting Shut" is not as simple an option as you make it sound!

I thought Riddell had improved with every game up until his injury around the Hour Mark at Wakey.
Our Forwards have started to run in better, look better organised and McCollorum seems to be playing better as well. Has that got anything to do with being around Piggy? Maybe not but he certainly wasn't learning anything from One Trick Mick was he?

I wouldn't have brought him back last night, He knocked on twice (I think, and one was in the last minute when we were throwing it anywhere at breakneck sucidal speed) at AHB but other than that I thought he did ok with a couple of good kicks from D/Half (Something else lacking in Higham's game).

What I do know is that No-one is taking us as easy beats antmore and despite Fridays Result I am still confident that we can go anywhere and win.
We won't do it every week but I don't fear going anywhere which is something I haven't felt for 4 or 5 years.

wrong

You are not wrong.

Riddell hasn't been a disaster of a signing like some in the past and long term will go well for us imo. He's had some decent games whilst he's been here but at the minute he's being outplayed by McIlorum and we need Sam Tomkins spark so Riddell should be playing reserve rugby for the time being.

He'll have to work hard and bide his time for a chance.

Noble seems to think Ainscough can do a job there.

The equation with Fat boy should be simple. .......Lose 2 stone or you dont play for wigan. Hes clearly come here on holiday judging by his physique, and nobby must have him on a pie and ale diet at the moment, because he's making a mockery of being a RL player with the amount he is overweight. He is like one of those massive Union props who we point at and laugh and go ' shows you how fit you have to be to play that game!!!'

If the soccer boys saw riddel you'd never stop em laughin. How the hell he can play the most demanding sport on earth though is beyond me....well it isnt....he clearly plays it in patches of 20 minutes as he isnt fit enough for anything else....IMO hes like feka but at least feka has impact when hes on the field....when piggys on he does nothing!

Lets hope the fat boy is homesick of his barbies and fosters and heads off back their quick, freeing up some valuable cap space so we can bring in better players in more suitable positions for the team anyway, we;ve got hooker adequately covered with macca and tommy without this fat lump of lard!

Yet he has made more metres than Higham.

So how does that equate?

I did hear a rumour on Friday that Riddell was going home at the end of the season and that Terry Newton was coming on a two year contract. Bad move IMO if true.

Agreed.

It shows how much standards have fallen at Wigan that Riddell (and to a lesser degree Feka) can be allowed to be so overweight.

Not many Wigan fans seem to be bothered by this though, which is puzzling. You are one of the few other people to point this out.

When we signed Inga he was forced to lose lots of weight despite being a huge name in World rugby.

The fact that someone like Riddell can get away with being 30 pounds overweight tells you all you need to know about how standards have fallen at Wigan.

Our present state isn't just BN's fault, the whole set-up needs a massive shake up if we are ever to compete with the top sides on a consistent basis.

Ive heard that as well.

I wouldnt mind it if true, but i also wouldnt mind it if it wasnt.

TBH i dont think we 'need' either Terry or Piggy.

Terrible move IMO.
