How many tackles did he miss that he should have made, one in a game where the full back was asked to do a lot of work.

He isn't Matt King

Size wise he is but King runs him close

Riley was good for most of the match but what about when he caught the ball and stumbled into touch is tthis what wariington really needs as the last line of disgrace.

Our one on one defence was a disgrace tonight. How will we beat the wildcats next friday on that performance

I don't think so.

No matter how much peiople want him to make it as a Warrington home grown, he isn't, he's too small, and it will always count against him.

Also - asleep for their 1st try, muffing fielding a kick and getting caught in touch to name but 2 .....

carvell needs scan on knee. same thing when at hull. best go 4ward prop in league when on form and fit. just not very often.

I wonder if anyone's thought to let Rob Burrow know, I think he'll have already signed this season's contract by now...

Well i (someone that is vry critical of amount of injury prone players we keep in the squad) am not suprised, hopefully it's just a 'knock' but we did sign him in full knowledge of his 50 percent playing average.

Edit: Replied to the wrong person.

Oh for christs sake, that happened AFTER he was given the MOTM award and it was on the last play before the final hooter.

Give the guy a break, FFS. He did a lot more work than most of the other so called "superstars" tonight.

As much as I want Riley to do well being a homegrown lad and coming from the same school that I go to.

He isn't what Championship contending teams are made of, and with the squad we have we should be challenging for the title

Well, in my eyes, over the last two games, Riley has been the stand out performer so far.........so that doesn't really say too much about Wire "supposedly" being a Championship contending side when one of our "fringe" players is showing up everyone else.

True Riley has been one of the standout performers and at the minute he deserves his place in the team

But you know as well as I do that as soon as Reardon is fit he will come in for him, and for me that is more solid than having Riley at fullback.

Based on the performances on last season Riley deserves a place on the wing but he wouldn't be my first, or even second choice fullback. I would swap him and Hicks around.

But this is just my opinion, other people are entitled to theirs

Did Carvell injure himself when he tried to launch try scoring Cyril Stacul into the back of the Martin Dawes stand with his knees?
Still a yard dog.

Indeed.



Why though? Reardon has been out for god knows how long. Riley has started the last two games at full back and has done a solid job. Why should Reardon be entitled to just waltz back into the starting line up, especially after the length of time he has been injured.

No Pilki22 is right Lee; Reily should be strung up



Don't forget there was no Penny this week so people have got to latch on to someone to have a whinge about. The support from some posters for our youngsters is shocking.

Reily has been one of onl a few positives in the opening two games. I am [imuch[/i happier with him at full back than Readon, who seemed to have just forgotton how to catch a ball and tackle. Instead of giving Reily stick for one mistake right at the end of the game which didn't actually cost us anything how about we get behind him? I haven't yet seen a thread about Gleeson's knock on and that cost us a try

I disagree Geordie, he cost us points and made silly errors, if that was a certain other player he'd be getting slated on here.

I thought he played average in an average performance. Nothing special IMO.

Not sure how Reily got MOM, yes he did do a lot of work and go the rough end of the stick from catalan players but not MOM. Carvell for me followed by Higham. Rau, Morley and Wood did ok with Rau the best of the 3.

People who let themselves down., the club and the fans were King, V Anderson, Briers and Lowes, IMO Westwood went off the boil after that tackle on Carlaw

That's my new favourite phrase.

When describing Warringtons defensive line, it's the 'Disgrace Line' with Riley as our last line of disgrace.

I like it.

Thats harsh, Wakefield haven't even played this weekend yet...

Why should Reardon just come straight into the team though? he has been out for a long time now, and I think that Riley has been great in the first 2 games at full back so far this season.



Swapping Riley and Hicks around is a terrible idea. Hicks is needed on the wing as he is a very good winger who scores tries (I'm not saying that Riley wouldn't) and when he plays at full back he doesn't score as many tries and he doesn't get involved enough for my liking.

2 points:

1) That one's name is spelt Reilly.

2) He doesn't play for Wakefield

HTH

Made me laugh, too, think that one could catch on...

On the other point, I thought Carvell played with some heart last night. Give him a few weeks though the coaches will soon sort that out.
