Quote: atomic "A players perfomance will always increase at a new club. Was he giving that same performance at Leigh?
The facts are he wasn't playing for a reason! When he did play,it wasn't the Ridy we all know. Sending him to Hudds based on the initial loan deal and given his performances for Leigh was a correct one.
As stated the additional season loan,I cant get my head round that one. Obviously theres more than meets the eye gone on.'"
I agree that the initial loan was for a good reason - i.e.getting him up to speed for SL - and that what then happened was barmy. He wasn't the Riddy we know, because he never got the chance to prove it - he started the season injured, and when he finally got into the side, he was just a 'bit part' player, with the plays and kicking all revolving round his half back partner.
As for a player's performance improving, when he moves to a new club, I can think of one or two of our signings this season that may not fit into that category!
