Long term injuries is that?

And Im party talking next year, Coley's contract shouldnt be renewed.

And whats Ben Davies like? He's a prop isnt he?

Riddell goes off one his own expecting runners. The team need to understand his game in offence and not et done for crossing.

I think you might be on your own with that one!

You get penilised for crossing when the players are not organised.

Is this Riddells fault?

IF that happened time after time, you would have a point.

According to jjb10 it does.

There are problems at Wigan and Nobles got a big job on. All im saying is personally i think Riddell is a class player with a good rugby brain.

He's no Barrett but we need to get together as a team and get back to basics.

You're welcome to your point of view matey, we all are, its part of the fun of being a fan. For me, Piggy isn't a solution to our on field problems, hes part of them.

Agreed.



New Noble thread please.

Must admit to being disappointed with Riddell thus far.

I thought his passing game would be much better than Higham's, and he'd get the forwards running onto flat passes so that we'd be over the gain line almost immediately.

As it is, Riddell is taking an age to get the pass away, he's passing it 3 metres backwards, the forwards are taking it standing still and the defenders are on them almost immediately and we're making no yards at all.

Very poor indeed from the whole team.

I thought Riddell did ok yesterday but I would like to see more attacking runs and creative play from him.

I still think it will take him a good few weeks to get used to Super League as it seems to me that he's still testing the water at the moment.

That isn't entirely Riddell's fault

The forwards should be running onto the ball as soon as Piggy arches his back to pick the ball up

On the bright side it is nothing an hour on the training pitch won't solve

Yeh I agree with that.

It can be solved easily but under Noble you have to wonder.

This should never have been an issue, it's basic rugby.

Agreed. Seemed to take a few more runs from dummy half yesterday too.

Your not wrong there

However I'd be more worried if we were saying this around September/October time

I am not Noble's biggest fan but I have confidence in him to get the players doing the basic's right

KEEP THE FAITH!

I now understand why you and I disagree so much.

It's because we are watching different games.

Riddell put 3 passes to ground, innumerable passes to head, and looks slower than a tax rebate.

And to all these people claiming that Riddell only looks bad because the other players around him aren't reading his plays, have you ever played the game?

Jeez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we have the london game on tv now .9

well said m8 ,,, coley makes all of 3 yards pick prescot over him any day

lol





your not wrong

He is.

Jack have you watched the game again yet?

To me Riddell looks like he's put weight on since he got here.

I accept Piggy is never going to be svelte but surely he can be made to lose a few pounds?

I've lost all faith in our fitness and backoom set up. Why can't they put him on the same kind of weight loss regime that Inga was put on when he arrived?

Doesnt look anywhere near fit and has been very disapointing to say the least.

He can only get better but he needs to improve his fitness and fast!

Riddell needs time, so many players come to this country and take time to settle in, Richards was garbage in his first season, some people said get rid, glad we didnt now.

I agree, a much improved performance last night, still a lot to come from the big lad but thought did well. A nice controlled performance.

Yes, and what I posted above was correct.

He offers nothing.

He is slow, his passing accuracy is terrible, and if he is fit then I don't want to be.

It was his best performance of the season so far, but that is saying very little.

So far, a huge mistake of a signing.

PS, All these youngsters that aren't quite ready? that's two that have been tried, and both have put in the performances of the season so far.

The foreigners are still not showing up.
