he looks very unfit for a professional player tbh. He didnt really direct play like I expected him too ala cunningham and Newton

looked like eaten to many pies to me

Yes, pies, big sellers in Sydney apparently...

top signing for you will bring lots of options to the team

No? I saw the two wakey tries on TV, and Roberts looked pish poor.

Was wondering how your new prop did for you? I take it riddell had a bad game - Thats what happens when you play at fatty at hooker

I read something somewhere a while back that he is a poor trainer and tbh if thats true it shows with his lack of fitness. He has talent , no doubting that but without the work on the training field he will always underachieve.

If anybody watched him closely, they'd have seen that the quantity and the technique of his tackling was absolutely outstanding through out the game. However, he didn't take the line on enough and must have only been tackled himself once or twice. We also saw a couple of his kicking out of hand which was hit and miss.

Overall, an average performance.

did you notice the couple of times where he got stood up though due to his lack of agility and probably fitness . When your not fit you lose concentration and can fall out of position, he has been professionally coached and survived as a 9 in the NRL so I would expect his tackling technique to be at the very least good.

Agreed. One thing that cant be faulted was his distribution, every pass was accurate.

Did not set the world on fire but also did not have a stinker, an odd player to pick out given the performances of some of our other overseas "stars".

You went then?

Your obsession with Riddell is embarrassing.

Unlike Superstar Mickey's.

I genuinally saw no lack off fitness in Riddell's game.
