IN your opinion. IMO Charnley is now a better player and injuries allowing will develop to being a much much better player.

I don't want to talk for the OP but I think the wording is very specific in this question.

A lot of people are talking about the pros and cons of each player on the wing.
I think we are all in agreement that charnley is either marginally or vastly better than riley on the wing (depending on whetjer you are a wire or a pie) but we must remember that riley is a more well rounded player than charnley and covers more varied positions and has better defense.

I feel the question addresses the issue of having a more prolific try scorer in the short term over a more well rounded player. Having a solely attacking orientated winger over more reliable winger.

It is a good question and I would love the question to be asked again in, say, 3 seasons. The roles will be more defined and Riley wilable to knuckle down after the tragedy in his life from over a year ago. We will be able to look back at this thread and judge. I have no doubt it will not be a winger's comparison.

It wasnt that long ago that most of the Crust munchers thought Karl Pryce was better than Matt King....

Rileys future is on the wing now that we have Ratchford and he is more reliable than Charnley
Riley will score about the same number of tries maybe couple less than Charnley but his defensive ability will help his team rather than being at fault for a large amount of tries because of poor defence

There is no doubt riley is a bit more reliable and less prone to a mistake. But wingers should have a bit of 'X factor' about them and be able to win a game from nothing. I'm going for Charnley(only just) because he is more of a matchwinner.

i would have charnley.

I went for Riley, as the question was who would you have in your team. I would agree that Charnley has a bit extra going forward, but if you look at our threequarters, we have the flair, eighty yard players in the centre, with solid, excellent finishers outside them. We have the balance at the moment, and that's what it's about. So for Warrington I would say Riley is the better choice.

Riley was superb today, deserevd MOM.

Great display from the Ginger Winger today.
More of the same, please.

must have read this thread!

Charnley everytime.

The top young try scorer managed to again today. This poll is going the same way as Myler v Tomkins.
