| Been saying it all season, Riddy is not fast enough for this team. Reynolds was like a breath of fresh air yesterday, zipping along the line, attempting to make a break etc. We need him WITH Ryan.

Big call that, but I can see where you're coming from.
Both Ryan and Ben can kick goals etc too...

| Reynolds did well yesterday, but Ridyard's been best half back in this league for a while now. May not have as much pace as others, but has the rugby brain and kicking game to complement Brierley. Good that there is competition for places though.

| It's always difficult to judge Ridyard, always say you only really see what he does when he's not there doing it by how much worse we usually are without him. However the game plan wasn't quite working yesterday & Renyolds shook it all up and really contributed to getting the win. Wouldn't like to not have Riddy on the pitch next week though.

That says it all for me. Reynolds time will come, Riddy's mind is a second ahead of everyone else and this gives him the edge and makes up for his lack in genuine pace.How fast was Wally Lewis and Blake Green to mention 2. Now before anyone says, I am not saying Riddy's as good as them, just the point on pace (lack oOff) and skill

| From what I have seen of Ben Reynolds, I think he is going to be a superb half.
More than capable of SL given the right exposure, learning time & guidance from coaching.
He is one of those to get on a long contract early, like Chris Hill was, then should it all go pear shaped & we dont get in SL for a few years, the big clubs will have to pay a ransome to get thim.

| As said Reynolds is a fantastic player who moved us round the pitch superbly both in the wigan friendly and when he entered the fray yesterday. A bright prospect
However Riddy simply is a class act. It is his guile and distribution together with his speed of thought that really makes the difference in big games. Watch him closely and it is evident that Ridyard is the Leigh general orchestrating play. Everything goes through him. He also has a good understanding with young Ryan. It is worth noting that our last league defeat came with Riddy sitting out that particular match.
Therefore it is Ridyard who I would pick first on the team sheet for Sunday, if we have genuine aspirations to make the last eight.
IMO of course.

Keep watching Mr Watcher man. Because there's stuff you're obviously missing, pal.

| 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.

| 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.
