Three way coaching brings it's agreements and disagreements. Being the centre of a disagreement must be more than upsetting and frustrating.

One (Jukes) must have the ultimate say - or Mr Beaumont may need to man-mange them. If one thinks they should have the top job rather than the bloke who has, it can't be good and needs sorting.

Even if Martyn gets a place back in the first team rather than a loan out to Fev etc, it can't ever be the same if you know one or 2 of the others are against it and haven't got your back.

Need Riddy back for middle 8s, Mickey, Gas, all troops fit and raring to preserve our SL status. Simple as. Hopefully Riddy better and fitter for his Giiants experience perhaps he needed this for his development. No one has claimed the 6 spot permanently as yet this campaign.

Spot on Cokey.



As for Ridy I feel really sorry for him. It looks like the loan to Huddersfield has done wonders for him and his confidence and he really seems to fit in there, however, there's no way Leigh are going to allow him to play in the 8's for them so he's going to end up on the benches at Leigh as they obviously rate the others above him.

Match report League Express Huddersfield v St.Helens M.O.M. Martyn Ridyard- alongside Danny Brough ran the show.......,,, If only he had been given he same amount of games at Leigh!!!!??

Well ATEOTD we'll never know, looks like we're bringing a 6 from Aus so even less chance of him getting a gig with us now
Always be a hero at Leigh - hope it doesn't all end with a bitter taste from either side, suppose it shows you've got to be ruthless at this level

No room for sentiment in professional sport,Riddy has been a very good servant to the Club , but for me players like Tonga should have been released a while back , maybe now we know Weston is leaving ,he could be released early to make room for 2 imports, I don't think Vea or Green will stay much longer at the Club, and nobody will ever convince me McNally is a SL player,watch his reactions in defence for Gildart try, and Burgess last try against Wigan,a Point Duty Officer springs to mind.
For me , I would have Riddy back in a heartbeat, but if Jukesy says no,then it's his decision we stand by,if we sign Mortimer and Langi it will be very interesting to see how they fit in .

Will be interesting Charlie. Most Aussies I've spoken too have Mortimer down as a 9 not a 6. Sharks took him on board as a replacement for Ennis when he retired.

Must admit from the clips I have seen he strikes me as more of a 9 - but he does appear to have agood short kicking game

Interesting times ahead

Nobody?

People on here have said many times Ridyard wasn't Super League class! We have seen Brierley and Ellis both get signed up by SL clubs when infact, it was by playing along side Riddy that they came to the fore and, I said at the time, the SL teams had signed the wrong players if they wanted a play maker

Josh Drinkwater has not been as prominent without Riddy although, he is now becoming more influential


Gregg McNally is class, the way he runs and the way he gets his passes away he is also safe at catching the ball ! He was fullback when we beat Hull and Wigan recently, both, the Major trophy winners last season in SL! The speed he receives and releases his passes to our Wingers is exceptional! Gregg is getting stronger with every game and becoming more confident too! don't forget he has suffered two really serious injuries in the last two seasons and I for one am glad to see him back. He may not be as strong in the tackle or returning the ball as Mitch Brown however, his overall game is better than Mitch's. If I was a Coach at Leigh, Gregg would have had a run Stand Off before now with the class he possesses

I agree with everything you say there Ian, Spot on.

Kirk, all can say is if Greg is not injured then Jukesy agrees with me,because he isn't in the Squad for the Widnes game, his defence is very poor, as I said look at at Gildart try and the second try of Burgess,players run at him every time, next season with the guys we are apparently signing Greg chances will be even more less,as for Riddy ?I'm a Riddy fan but again what will happen next season is anybody guess, I think we will survive this season, but it's no use just marking time we must compete and to do this we must move forward and Derek and Jukesy make a couple of unpopular decisions, in them we trust.

What are you after Derek?
