Quote: DaveO "How on earth anyone can be happy with a player who fails to meet expectations is beyond me. Were you happy with DV? Are you happy with Fielden? If not why are you happy with Riddell? Riddell is here for three seasons and 11 games of one have gone and he won't be getting any quicker.

Dave'"


Because Riddell isn't performing badly.

The only thing missing from his performances are his running game and fitness.

Mark Riddell's defence, ball distribution, decision making and all round presence is very good and of a much, much higher standard of Micky Higham. Unfortunately, a decent running game does not warrent the no.9 jersey and that's all that Higham offers ahead of Riddell.

Do you actually speak like this, or have you just popped in on a bad day?

It's just WIGAN, nothing else. Get rid of that stupid nickname.:12150.jpg



In Tommy and Sam, we have two very good players who never fail to make a contribution. They should both be on for 80 minutes.

In Mark Riddell and Tim Smith, we have two players who have yet to prove they are worth their places. Start one and put the other on the bench if you must.

Then keep the positional changes to a minimum. Even when we have been going well in games this season, there have been unforced substitutions which have done more harm to us than to the opposition, through the confusion caused by shifting players around. Usually, this has been done to accommodate Tim Smith in one of the half-back spots. I'm not sure his efforts so far merit that kind of consideration.

I am reluctant to condemn Smith out of hand, as he seems to have some talent -- mainly smart passing. But the fact is that's not enough for a Super League half-back. In 16 games for Wigan, he has scored a total of four points. I doubt if any half-back in the league has so poor a strike rate, whatever their perceived 'role'.

Can we take that as an attempt at satire?

Every post of yours has been about Micky Higham though.

You clearly have some kind of obsession/link with him.

He wasn't good enough to start at 9 for Wigan and is probably why he's coming off the bench for Clarke at the moment.

Get over it.

Higham wasn't good enough in such a key position. However, neither is Piggy or McClorum.

Lets be stricter with out team in order to create a winning team.

Don't forget we brought in Piggy from the other side of the world. So far he's had a poor season, terrible disappointment.
