Thought that in his post match interview..........Surprised at his charity tho?! Thought the wigan lads usually picked the mike greg fund?

EDIT: Can we not start a registered charity to fly Mark Riddell, Tim Smith and Amos Roberts home?! That would bound to be a winner!!

I thought it was personal choice; I'm confident Mike Greg wouldn't complain that the money went to a Special Care Baby Unit in Wigan!

i thought tomkins was cr@p, outshined by riddell in every department imo.

Yeah i wasnt complaining at the charity....its just usually its always seems to be mike greg and so it surprised me a bit.

I recon we should start a 'Fly useless Aussies Home Fund' though....that way whenever one of our talented youngsters won the award they could really be rewarded

The only department he outshone either of the tompkins's on was either the drinking beer or eating pies department.

Once again Mr Riddell's contribution to the game amounted to the following.....

oh ffs lay off him he wasnt that bad. You are pathetic.

Every time he was on the field he slowed the game down, whether it was his distribution, running (sic) more like plodding, etc. We were a different team with Mcillurum on the field. Riddell should be in the reserves full time until he completes a super slim fast diet or should be on the next plane back home!

If i am pathetic for being able to read the game and spot an overweight, cba, fat shiiite of a hooker for what he is then so be it....I am pathetic

Sam was superb had he not been on the field we would not have won. McIllorum was the better of the two hookers today.

in the opening quarter when riddell was on we were awful, once mickey and sam came on we were a different team, god knows why noble brought piggy back on it nearly cost us the game, he needs to go back to aus and take smith with him 2 diabolical signings.

Probably both did as much as one another in the tackling department. I think that O'Loughlin, Fielden and J. Tomkins are our best defenders but only O'Loughlin showed us anything in attack as well tonight. Joel & Stuart were poor and made the most mistakes.

Give it a rest FFS.

In the first 15 minutes a lot of the team played crap, slow line speed, lack of organisation etc.

Riddell was very poor today, Tomkins very good.

As much as it pains me to say it i hope we have him for another couple of years and he goes to the NRL, the standard of comp in the UK at the moment is so poor he will never realise his potential in this environment. Sad but true.

Will develop into a far better player than Myler, played well for you guys today...

sam was quality tonight, but to single out smith is wrong he was clearly injured

riddell was outshone by mccilorum(sp) again

come on noble the young kids are showing the way

sam ainscough prescott etc are putting roberts and fielden to shame

give them more game time

My match report says it all about Riddell - [url=http://wigan.rlfans.com/news.php?readmore=712Read Here[/url

I see that Noble's plan was to introduce Sam at fullback What!!! has he completely lost it.

it was either the plan from the beginning, because we had 2 hookers in the 17 as well leuluai,

OR

he meant it as he was going to replace carmont with phelps then going to centre when carmont originally looked like he was going to be forced off with his shoulder really early on.

Let me guess does it say he's a overweight, lethargic, effortless, blob. Sorry shouldn't turn to personal attacks but the guy was hyped up by Lenegan, and it's not that he hasn't delivered, it's that he's not even trying to.

I said the same thing about Carmont and Phelps switching and Tomkins slotting in.

I can only imagine it's the second, he would be in my eyes wasted there, he should be involved within as much of the action as possible.

Whatever Nobby's 'PLANS' were they were spoiled by injuries to other players, which meant Tomko getting his chance (once again) and he won the game for Wigan.

Starting to look the part, long way off england's wonderkid Richie Myler though.

Troll is obvious.

Called banter mate, hence the wink. In all seriousness Noble seems to handling his development quite well, holding him back which is the right thing to do at the moment, once Myler is on board for us I can see the pair having battles for many a year.
