Not read the whole of this thread; but I'm pretty sure if he'd have scored in the incident mentioned, he'd be 'world-class' etc. Be patient.

some of you are never satisfied,sam is a good player and will become a GREAT player.
look at his stats in rugby mags or in wigan observer and tell me which other wigan player has been as good this year
i think he should get more of the ball and be allowed to run the game for wigan because hes well capable of doing that.i would sooner sam pick up at play the ball than piggy he makes five yard before piggy has bent down

My only main gripe with him is that at times he will pass to his brother when there was a much better option on. However, I believe that this is just down to his inexperience and will improve with time. I still believe he is one of, if not the most, exciting players in SL at the mo and I think we're lucky to have him for at least the next five years.

For christs sakes, would some people please read what they are typing.

nobody's denying he's a good player, read what people are saying.

and what the hell? why are you comparing riddell and sam? not reet some people on here.

i think youve hit the nail on the head paul , "when sam has a bad game" because ive not seen him have one yet and people are moaning about him.
another 8 in wigan observer.how many tries have we scored when hes made a half break and upset the defensive line,i suggest you watch him closer
