Agree, Ridy is a smart player with great handling skills but simply doesn't score enough tries - only 2 from all comps this season isn't enough and matched in 50 mins by Burns.

The other issue is whether Derek knows who is on the boat to Toronto. None of them must believe Leigh are likely to be promoted this year and despite strong loyalty in the past will not put bodies on the line in the 8's for purely subconscious reasons. You fight for your dreams.

Listening to the Paul Cooke interview on LCTV - there is absolutely no room for sentiment. He made it very clear that the backs will need to step up to the mark for the middle 8's or he will be looking for them to be replaced.

If Riddy has the contract offer from Toronto it seems to add fuel to the [itapping up[/i fire from the new Canadian RLFC.

What is sure is that the move towards local lads playing for Leigh has done us well up to a point, especially when we were on our s.

Great player who has been outstanding for the Leigh Club & a firm favourite with the fans, he deserves the praise he gets, I have to say though that he might just not have quite enough for SL, especially in the pace department.

Whatever Riddy chooses to do, even if it is a move to the Leigh Toronto Centurion Wolfpack, I wish him well.

Aston wants Riddy for the rest of the season www.totalrl.com/aston-expresses- ... t-ridyard/ Jog on Aston!

Quote from Aston: “Ridyard is a class player and there’s no doubt about that. It’s unfortunate what Leigh have done there to be honest." Pr1ck!

So would Ridyard really want to play for an " embarrassing team" ? Brain before gob springs to mind with aston.

He was embarrassed by the performance.

**Charlie.I can't reply to you on The Eagles forum - I have been banned since November;after I replied to you,actually.I have made efforts to be reinstated,over a couple of months,and still waiting.**

It's the same thing you tool , its a team game is it not or are you being picky?
Can't see riddy going to Sheffield with yon mon in charge .

He didn't call his team embarrassing, he was referring to their latest performance. It is always best to get facts right before throwing abuse about.

At least Aston is being up front showing an interest in Ridyard.

They were rubbish, don't think Ridyard would make a difference to them, they need forwards.

. Bravo bully for Ashton!! .Who cares what he thinks

See I know nothing I can't spell Aston now

To be honest I will shocked if Riddy goes anywhere this season, and dumbstruck if he goes to Sheffield.
More importantly, has anyone heard an update on the possible groin op for Riddy that Neil Jukes mentioned 2 weekends ago. More likely that he is resting the injury or getting it sorted with an op than being pure dropped both weeks.

Been told riddy has had a fallout of sorts with the club and has asked to leave.

He had been told he can go out on loan to anyone except bradford.
