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.

This is it, the last 3 years taught us what real hooking play was....

I just hope he can ignore the criticism and take it all on the chin... chins

I did there was one point in the game where on a kick return he was stood in the Wakefield along with 1 other player hands on hips towing big time stood there hands on hips and did not get into our line until the 4th tackle.

He was slow getting back into the defensive line on a few occasions, looked sluggish to me.

p.s. I hope whoever won the players shirt in the draw chose Tim Smith's, they wouldn't need to wash it !!!!!

Id have picked Mathers - A collectors item, his last ever first team shirt!!

A bit harsh but could be true
