| I think it's a lack of appreciation for overall game and effect on the defence.
WE've seen this week people calling Simon Gillies as being gash, but if you look at the bigger picture, he played right second row for us, Toa was right centre and scored a shedload of tries, reason being defences were scared of Gillies and were doubling up on him, working him harder and therefore left more space for Toa and Scott Wilson (hah) to exploit.
Yeah people do state the saints play off game, mainly because he was unplayable and giving saints kittens that night, but he was fantastic from about halfway through that season after he bedded in and his offloads were integral to the way we played and ground our way up the table that year.
I've said it before and i'll say it again, people were disapointed as they were expecting a solomona/lauititi style crazy offloader. That was never the case.
The fact you've had people since saying we'd have been better off keeping landerson shows you how short term some bods memories are, cos he was getting called rotten after he announced his move and was being kept out the team, he was poor value for money and one dimensional.

I have been wondering about this as well as the wording is a little ambiguous. But I think you are right, it says Dwyer is on a one year loan, but talks about Riley being 'transferred'. Then later on it mentions Smith monitoring their progress at London. I suppose if Riley is genuinely transferred on a one year contract with London we might still have the option of re-signing him at the end of 2015 ?

Riley is a big prop - I think he is 6'3 / 4", but he has not yet learned to use his size to the best advantage (footwork / angle of attack). However he has only just turned 22, so there is time for him to develop. Dwyer is the more promising of the two, he is a hooker that will take on the line and is pretty nippy around the ruck.

Dwyer is, slightly surprised we're letting him go as I would've thought we'd have him as back up to Higham and Clark. That said it'll be good for him to get some regular football.
Riley, well... he's never going to cut it at Super League level. He's a good lad, hard-working but he couldn't catch a cold. I think he'll find his level in the Championship but I can't see him going above that. Best of luck to him though. You might see him feature in the games we manage to stay in the playoffs for as we've got a ton of injuries in the pack.

The Leeds players we had this year - Foster, Minns and Duckworth - it was initally stated they were on loan but transpired they signed one year deals. I assume Brian Mac was able to evaluate them over the year and make a decision. It also enabled us to loan more players as they weren't counted so maybe Joey Grima has that in the back of his mind.

| Glen Riley needs to stop skipping leg day at the gym, no leg drive and surprisingly easy to put down for such a big guy, and he is a big guy.
If Mickey Higham was Coca Cola then Dwyer would be diet coke, similar style of hooker not as good as MH but he's a young lad and a decent player, especially at the level he'll be at next year.
