Its always the same with them two on sky they will always have there sweethearts.

The pass Ainscough did for carmonts try was mentioned once maybe twice by Stevo..If it was one of his cherished like Gidley he would have been creaming himself a good 10 minutes after.

and if it was micky higham well i dread to think what the commentary box would look like

Exactly. I've pointed this out time and again to the guys I go to home games with (and no doubt will have to again on Saturday). You don't see Cunningham running 20 yards with the ball very often but you see him distribute fast accurate ball and help build a platform for and jug ears.

As Rogues said earlier, Piggy was limping after 5 minutes at Hull and went off. I was surprised to see him come back. Give the lad time and his class will show through.

We won't go there...

Haven't seen that for a while.... Dave, Lee, over to you gents

Mark Riddell hasn't lived upto expectations so far but a few things need to be taken into consideration-

1-he's settling into a new country

2-he's settling into a new team

3- The teams struggling for confidence

4-He's rumoured to be playing with an injury picked up on pre season

with all those things taken into consideration I can't believe that some people are so quick to stick the knife in. I learned my lesson on writing players off too soon with Pat Richards and will never fall into that trap again.

He'll come good because he has too many skills not to IMO.

The problem with that is two fold. Firstly Eddie knows nothing about RL and second he is so biased to his "favourites" Higham, McGuire, Cullen etc is spoils his commentary.

I think Craig Smith would a better example of a player taking time to settle, came with a deserved big rep but didn't live up to it at first ,think he picked an ankle injury early on is wigan career as well . But unlike Richards he didn't have to play in a new position and both turned out great players for wigan , which is my hope for Riddell he can be class i remember him playing for st george and was impressed by him then .

Cracking example.

Smith was very quiet for his first full season bar the odd big game because he was carrying an injury.

Once he shuck that off he was awesome.

Thanks someone with some brains. Most people struggle at first when they go abroad into any job, it must be even harder in sport with new people and teamates around you. Seriously how many players walk into a team from overseas and make a difference straight away?

5) His kench is bigger than mine.
