Riddy is the type of player you only miss when he's not on the field ,I think Riddy and Ryan are a good combo ,but I agree Ben Reynolds had a good game when he came on.

Think Renyolds will be much like Brierly, starts off as a really skillful player, quick, agile & scores some trys, but eventualy learns over a few seasons how to be more creative and set up trys. Really good to have someone with the skill of Riddy for 2 young up and coming very promising half backs, at two different stages in their development to learn from.

So is he injured or not?

I believe Riddy was at a Christening Sunday before the game, I'm not saying he was drinking but personally I don't think its the best pre match preparation, I guess Rowleys insurance was having Reynolds was on the bench.

I know these type of family/friends functions crop up but for me either Riddy should have been allowed to go and not played or stopped from going, I know this is what happens in pro football you can't mix both.

That's a new one, shouldn't have gone to church on the morning of the game.

It's a Christening not a drunken orgy.

FFS.....any other Leigh FANS want to spout some $hit-e/gossip...Reynolds was already on the bench, Rowley 'made a change'. Amazing stuff.

The thread is about a possible reason for Riddy's less than usual performance, I gave one possible reason, perhaps I have a different view from most, maybe when you have a family member who can't be with his family on Christmas day as he has to train due to having a game boxing day, or refused time off to attend his aunties wedding as he had a pre-season friendly two days later, kind of tarnishes my view on professional sport set-ups.

Having just watched the game on LCTV I thought he got an arm/shoulder injury early doors. Riddy will be back the lad is class.

Can't believe people having a go at Martyn
Even if he did have a bad game so what everyone allowed a bad game , apart from their try he didn't do anything wrong and he doesn't go winding opposition players up neither he just plays rugby

The little i have seen of him, he looks like an excellent player at this level with the experience to control a game and his team.

I would quit before the hole you are digging buries you.

I don't believe people are "having a go".

The majority of people on here know how important Ridy is to Leigh.

It's just good to have the competition for places.

We're fortunate to have quite a few very good players to pick from at half back.

I simply expressed an opinion on a thread, if you or anyone else disagrees with that opinion then fine I can live with that.

Martin has been brilliant all season, played 80 mins in every game and will be starting at Wakey. Have a listen to Rowleys post match on LCTV. What the team is missing against the better sides is Penky
