Unlucky 
Overall yes I'm happy with his performances because it's better than what we had.
But I do think there is room for improvement, and I believe it will happen.

Back in his St George days he had a great running game. Sadly, this seems to have gone for good. Add this to the fact that he is quota when we have both TL and MM and it doesn't look too good a signing to me.

For my part, I'm disappointed. However, I'd give him a little longer before writing him off.
One thing that's definitely sharpened the focus on him is the emergence of Tommy L as a quality hooker. Suddenly we have three decent 9s in the squad, which frankly is one too many.

He is better than what had but that isn't saying much.
He is playing sub-standard and to level that I wouldn't call acceptable, but hopefully he'll turn that around before the end of the season.
Luckily, we've had McIlorum who has been playing well.

| Quote: Rogues Gallery "But didn't Higham replace Jon Clarke on Friday and then come back at loose forward. That's why Clarkes stats were slightly better, he was on the pitch longer.
If you compare Riddells season stats with those of Diskin they are pretty favourable. I don't think he's been as poor as many on here have expressed, maybe people have expected too much, but I do think he's been an improvement on Higham, which is what we wanted.'"
You keep banging on about the comparison between Riddell and Diskin, but I just don't get it.
I don't give a toss what Diskin does, I want Riddell to earn his keep, which he clearly isn't up to now. |

Jack can you read?
I compared him at first with the other three hookers on Friday (two of whom Wigan have released), in which he came out o.k. probably top.
Then someone else posted that he didn't compare well with the two at St.Helens or the two at Leeds. I merely pointed out that his stats were as good if not better than Diskins.

| Quote: Judder Man "Higham was a pretty decent player at Saints and has not done too badly up to now with the Wire. But didn,t perform at Wigan.
Riddell was a decent player in NRL the past few years, but has,nt really performed for Wigan.
Fielden - ditto
Theres a common denominater here.'"
Noble. I claim my £5.
Even Mathers has improved. Great tackle on Tomkins probably won them the match. |

I've seen them bomb a quarter final, bottle a semi final, finish as league leaders, but I've still, never, seen the Wire win the league

| Quote: Panda Antics "Been disappointed with Riddell thus far.
Thought he'd offer a lot more creativity, and hopefully have brought some plays with him from the Eels.
Unfortunately not. If/when Smith returns, I really can't see a spot for Riddell in the side.
In contrast, McIlorum is playing superbly well. His distribution from the PTB still needs slight improvement however his runs from dummy half and defensive work is unbelievably good.'"
top post. 100% agree especially about hopin for more creativity from piggy |

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery.......
I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself.

True, but he must improve his disipline (although he's not alone in that). |

Yeah he does, but being aggresive makes him the player is ala Terry Newton.
Like Terry he does need to curve that aggression. |

Just think.
We could have signed Buderus or Berrigan.
Then there could be REAL cause for complaint.

I think you play your Hookers the wrong way around Riddell should be your starting hooker and 1 trick mack should be an impact hooker when defences are tired apart from that the rest of your pack bar hock is rank ! and without a dominant pack your on a looser

One win and we are getting advice from Wire 
In all seriousness i pretty much agree with you bar you've missed O'Loughlin off our good players in the pack list who's exceptional at the moment. |
