Huddersfield Giants - "We know our place": |
|
| Quote: kirkhall "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 ![]()
Exactly he is there for 4 games maybe longer if Brough carries on the way he has been doing.
Shame he didn`t get sent off against us we might have won that game

| Quote: Steve May "No offence, but a couple of years back the Giants were competing at the top of the league and should have been playing against an NRL side (and turning that opportunity down was the moment the rot set in IMO)
Ridyard isn't a good enough player for the ambition that the Giants [ishould[/i have. Given the ambition the Giants [ido[/i have, I'd suggest he's probably a great fit.'"
agree about that bit with the world club challenge.. lack of ambition there but thats been done to death! |

| Quote: Steve May "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.'"
I have to disagree with two points here. Ridyard has only signed for a month. As we have one half back injured and one suspended it left a desperate need for a short term replacement.
This has nothing to do with long term. How with such short notice are you supposed to find someone with GF wins or international caps especially in such a specialist position.
Also the bit about bouncing around between lower league and amateur. I am pretty sure Ridyard has played his whole careeer at Leigh.
If his signing leads to 2/3 wins in the next month i would consider it a success. If it doesn't work out he can go back to Leigh and the club can move on. I am sure the club will be looking at long term options to replace Brierley but this could take weeks or months for anything to be sorted. |

| Really pleased with this loan extension allows us some good HB options and comp for places when all fit. Truly a stalwart Leyther but he has slotted in well and helped out both scoring and setting up tries and kicking game and conversions. I would defo want to keep him beyond this season (unless Thurston fancies joining  ) - we will have to wait and see whatt RS and Martyn have planned for that.
Quite surprised that Leigh have agreed to this to be honest so he does not appear to be in their plans at all which I find strange. |

I'm amazed they are playing anyone but Ridyard to partner Drinkwater. Reynolds looks good but still raw, Hampshire looks a poor player, I've never understood the hype with him. He's a good runner but that's about it...
