I wouldn't touch Chase with a barge pole.
Chase and Brough in the same team?
Fireworks or what? |

According to some reports today Leigh are trying to bring in Todd Carney on loan from Salford ,would this not have been a better move for us?

Depends how you define 'better'! If you mean unpredictable both on and off the pitch then Chase definitely has the edge. If you mean dependable, reliable, then I would definitely go with Ridyard. Let's give the bloke a chance ...from what I have seen of him (and what they are saying on the Leigh board) he is a decent player.

| Don't get all the negativity about this one although poor old RS seems to get some stick whatever or whoever he signs - some thought Mamo was a mistake 
Ridyard is class, experienced and keen to play. He has agreed to come on a short term deal to prove his worth so will surely be putting everything in to doing his very best. He will want to prove to Leigh (his undoubted main concern) that he still has plenty to offer.
From our side we have a critial shortage at HB - seems a sensible option if you ask me? If Isaac and Sam get to play alongside him or not they will surely benefit from having him in the squad.
Cannot see what all the fuss is about to be honest. Would rather blame DB for putting us in this position (again) than RS who is trying to explore all avenues to give us a shot at the top 8. |

Did nothing in the championship for us, just 'passed the ball'. You have Riddy for 4 weeks, it's not going to make or break your season. |

Former man of steel international stand off at 31 >>> 30 year old championship player who can't get in the SL side near the bottom.
whatwver Rangis issues-and although he's almost been through all his options - he's more likely to be playing in SL than ridyard next season!

Abit harsh putting down an experienced player before he puts the shirt on.
If you want 4 weeks of a player who can't behave himself and causes disruption at this crucial part of the season, then I'm glad it's not your decision.
Good luck Ridyard, welcome to our club.

Even if they did do this you would still find something to moan about |

| We (Leigh) are in Super League today mainly due to Martyn's ability to lead our team around the pitch and, come up with try scoring plays for our team. He has been doing this consistently for many years for Leigh, not only in the Championship but the Challenge Cup ties we've played against SL teams. When you visited Leigh in the middle 8s last season you were pretty confident of blowing Leigh away well, the complete opposite happened and Martyn was at the heart of that performance. I could go on relating how vital he has been to us however, why he has not figured for us this season is a mystery, injury has been stated? You would not want the player we have had replacing him at Leigh! we are not a poor team we have run teams very close, some have even nilled  We have a lot of injuries (like others) however, we will be strong soon and we don't intend giving our place in SL up just yet
Your outside backs will revel with Martyn in the team so, welcome him and appreciate his game!
Oh, and send him back to us in good shape  |

Sounds harsh, but Ridyard is not a player of the kind of calibre that we need. If you're going to sign a player at age 30, you want to see a record of success with GF wins (here or in Oz) and international caps. Ridyard has bounced between the amateur game and a lower league side.
As a stop-gap, he's a warm body who won't screw up too badly. Whoopee-Doo.
The fact we've had to sign him - and we're supposed to be grateful for it - shows the lack of ambition and poor management that haunts the club.
Where you are correct, is that the immediate fault lies with Danny Brough, who has let the team and the club down badly with his indiscipline.
