Ah, very good point. Never thought of that.

His pass for Westwood's try was great, perfectly timed and a perfect run from Westwood too. The try saver on Farrell and pushing Richards out definitely changed the game completely. His partnership with Atkins is working well, twice that little kick was executed and had Riley not been blocked off in the first one then he would've probably scored.

If anyone did still have any doubts about him, even after the massive improvements we've seen in over the past couple of years, I don't think they will now.

He's turned into an outstanding player for us, and he's earned his starting role in the team, and I can see him keeping it for many years to come.

he had a brilliant game last night...and has been consistently good all season...I did have my doubts on him...but they are all gone now...well played Chris!

and he's a Warrington lad!

Great effort by him to force richards into the corner if he was 10 metres out instead of about 6 or 7 he could have taken his legs as he would not have reached over. Good football skills aswell with that perfectly times slide tackle

Riley's major problem is that he doesn't have an Australian accent and wasn't signed from a top4 UK or Oz club.

He is leading try scorer in Super League
He is a Warrington lad who is one of us doing it for us
His decision making in defence is excellent
He has battled to make that starting place his own despite constant fan criticism
He can play FB or wing
He will not let this club down by his on field performances
He can finish and create tries for himself

Can we please start giving the lad the credit he deserves, not just for last night but for his consistently good performances


By the way, think back to the play off win at Leeds - who was it that made the 30 yard break to give field position to set up the Briers drop goal ?? That was September 2006 - 4 years ago and he is still trying to convince 95% of our fans

Riley for young player of the year

He has really proved himself this year.

(At the risk of opening another can of worms )

With Hicks signing for another 12 months and Riley putting these sorts of performances in, where does that leave Kevin Penny?

You sure?
