| 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

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 .'"
Nobody? ![Very Happy icon_biggrin.gif](images/smilies//icon_biggrin.gif) 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 ![Rolling Eyes icon_rolleyes.gif](images/smilies//icon_rolleyes.gif) 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 ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)

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.

42910_1337432023.jpg [i:5a56um9q]Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.[/i:5a56um9q]

| I'm chuffed for Ridy as I know he's really enjoying his time at Huddersfield. I did fear that the club would pull him back or send him to a Champ club or leave him sitting on the sidelines but good on them for letting the lad stay there. He deserves it after his loyalty to Leigh over the years.

| The only problem i can see for Riddy at Hudds, is that he will be a squad player again when they get their fit players back and when their Aussie half back lands next week.

we have lost mamo and turner for 4-6 weekns so rankin may have to play full back when he gets here.
happy for ridyard to stay, fitted in well, he can kick valuable goals too something which brough struggles to do now.
