Well the reverse of that is the suggestion that Piggy is our only talented player!

Agreed, we have three young capable back ups aswell in Prescott, Tuson and Mossop. We dont need Coley.

How many times does Riddell go off on his own and we get penalised for a crossing or he gives a stupid pass and it just bounces off someone, his passing from dummy half is crap it is either to high or too low, he is too slow and his defence at best is weak. He doesn't use our props enough near the opposition's line he does not use Hock or any of our 2nd rowers running on at angles and he loves giving stupid balls to Fielden and O' Carroll which just allow them to get smashed. He also come with this almight infield kicking game???? Not seen that either.
Now you tell me how we should play for Piggy?

Mossop is a second row, Tuson probably won't play until May.
There's also Neil Holland, but he won't play until June.

If you're talking for 2010 then I agree

Riddell isnt the reason we are not playing well. Last nights match proves he uses Fielden and O'Carroll who i think played well. The difference between the likes of Riddell and Cunnigham is, the back rowers for the likes of saints and Leeds are looking for the ball in positions out wide. When we are in a situation on the opposing line (which isnt often) we have no idea when attacking. How many try's are scored off forwards close to the line. Most of the time its selfish play close to the line that costs us a tackle or two.

So who is to blame for this awful display in attack?????

Riddell, Lockers, Noble.

Who knows. the team have to get organised in attack because we don't know what set plays are coming off any tackle.

Long term injuries is that?

And Im party talking next year, Coley's contract shouldnt be renewed.

And whats Ben Davies like? He's a prop isnt he?

Riddell goes off one his own expecting runners. The team need to understand his game in offence and not et done for crossing.

I think you might be on your own with that one!

You get penilised for crossing when the players are not organised.

Is this Riddells fault?

IF that happened time after time, you would have a point.

According to jjb10 it does.

There are problems at Wigan and Nobles got a big job on. All im saying is personally i think Riddell is a class player with a good rugby brain.

He's no Barrett but we need to get together as a team and get back to basics.

You're welcome to your point of view matey, we all are, its part of the fun of being a fan. For me, Piggy isn't a solution to our on field problems, hes part of them.

Agreed.

New Noble thread please.

Must admit to being disappointed with Riddell thus far.

I thought his passing game would be much better than Higham's, and he'd get the forwards running onto flat passes so that we'd be over the gain line almost immediately.

As it is, Riddell is taking an age to get the pass away, he's passing it 3 metres backwards, the forwards are taking it standing still and the defenders are on them almost immediately and we're making no yards at all.

Very poor indeed from the whole team.
