Quote: westgaterunner "We have one of the most potent wingers in SL who is not getting the ball from his centre.
In the 2nd half Collis had Riley on his outside and decided to dummy the pass and was tackled straight away, for me, I don`t think that Collis is replicating his form of last season, its making it look a waste of time bringing Riley over here for just his defence !'"
If making metres sideways is a sign of potency, I'd agree with you; otherwise, Riley was ineffectual yesterday. Our system is based on the wingers coming in to make yards out of our own 20 - he never did that, just ambled across the defensive line and submitted to the first tackle.
Compare and contrast Ben Cockayne in the Hull game on Friday night; not the worlds most skilful player and prone to the odd brainfart, but runs the ball in hard and fast and *never* submits to the tackle without fighting on the way down, and fighting to get back up.
With the exception of Richard Moore, Scott Anderson and Matt Ryan, there was no passion or desire in our team yesterday - they looked like a group of players who were going through the motions.
