As we going so well at the minute why not throw the younger crop and give Riley a chance to shine again like he has been in the past.

saving the big men like monnars and atkins for more targeted events such as leeds,

wishing not to wee wee on our own bonfire by the way.

But he's not good enough to play for Warrington.

I've a lot of time for the lad. Plays above his weight, and never switches off. I also like the fact that after a spell out, he will come back and never look rusty. His attitude is great, never seems to sulk at being below others in the pecking order. Does TS have a master plan of turning him into our next FB? Fantastic squad player, but lacks that extra something that the likes of JMonas, Atikins, King, Williams, and Evans have.

Squad yes, Starting XIII No, not for where we want to be.

Totally agree. I hope he stays, you never know he may kick on and and something extra to his game. Looks like he's willing to put the work in required to do so. He's got great hands, glue like at times, and can read the game. If he could learn to link from FB....?

Riley started his career as a full back with the england acadamy if anything he had to learn how to be a winger

No problem with Riley for me (except his irritating habit of over-running his centre). Unfortunately, injuries will happen, so he'll get his chance. I just hope he doesn't get disillusioned playing U21's RL, and goes looking elsewhere.

This

Agreed. It's these kind of games, where he can learn the role of FB and also link up with attacking play

as i have said he is a full back that was learning how to play on the wing as shown by his over running centres and little mistakes he made on the wing

this entirelly.

Plus, I really like his attitude. Proper Wire lad, Appreciates the breaks he is given and will work hard to make it to the top. Lot of respect for him.

Looks grown to his position where ever he plays when given the chance.

excellent ball handler and always puts his body on the line which is great for a team on the up!

What would have happened if Mathers had stayed?

Hodgson would now be in the reserves.
