Reserves? When was that announcement?

Not Leigh but the rest of superleague so not sure how it's going to work towards dr if these teams have a proper reserve comp

Sorry Ben is simply not good enough.

No need to apologise, you are correct mate.

Derek, fair play to the lad, he was injured in the second half, but in truth , yes he isn’t the bloke we need.

Ian, when we decide to play Brown with Riddy in the halves,and when McNally returns at fullback,with Brierley on the wing,I think we will look more dangerous in attack. Our defence needs to improve though.

Are people watching different games to me? Riddy looks slow with ball in hand been getting caught on the ball a lot and losing the ball not taking the line on I think he should be dropped and wait his turn to get a chance to get back in the team. Ben in defence gets stuck in more than riddy I would like to see brown and Ben have a go next against york if he fit

Have I really just read someone state we should play an half back for his defence?

Deary me shut the forum down.

Brown and Brierley for mine but I know Harold won’t agree, Riddy is quickly going downhill, his attack st has slowed immensely and his defence is non existent although he can still kick a goal, but we can’t pick someone just for his goal kicking can we ??

I think Riddy has been playing despite not being 100% fit for an extended period now, and to be fair has still guided us to where we are right now. I wish he could have been rested the last couple of weeks. He’s played 80 minutes week in, week out and is a major reason this season has gone so well.
Week off now and a well earned rest. Remember he’s played the last few weeks also without a consistent halfback partner. No wonder he has been caught a little more with the ball in hand.
Brown and Riddy for me at halfbacks. McNally fullback and Brierley on a wing. Centre could be a challenge with Sau questionable maybe now.

Agree with this VL. Widnes targeted our right hand side (and was successful) when Sau went off, and Higson was also crocked too. Unfair to put the blame on Riddy. Also,since Woods has been injured,our halfback area has been fragile. Reynolds or Brierley in the halves just doesn't do it for me. Once Brown is brought into the fray,I just hope he doesn't get injured. Talking of defence,well overall,it's been generally poor tbh.
