Quote: eddywalls "i've read all the threads on this forum about players being changed around from one postion to another, i think we are missing the point, with all due respect to riddy we need another goal kicker. we scored three tries to there one and we only kicked one goal. the great alex murphy once said that there are more rugby league games won with goal kicks than tries, and yesterday's game proved this point.....'"
I don't watch as many Leigh games as you but I think your being really unfair to Ridyard who is a very capable kicker at goal and in general play. To be calling for a new kicker for missing 2 or 3 touchline conversions is ridiculous !! Maybe the nerves and tension of sunday got to him a little bit because scoring 3 tries to 1, should have really won you the game. even though I think Batley deserved it on the day. The Battle between Moore & Ridyard was always going to be key due to the conditions and I guess due to some poor discipline Moore was given several opportunities to kick goals that he will slot over all day long, whilst ridyard didn't take his opportunities.
