Observing training sessions gives you a good insight into what is going on behind the scenes. When you look at the body language and the interactions between the players and coaches, also simply looking at the effort one player gives compared to the rest of the squad. Get down to the LSV mid week and you can see it yourself. Riddy has been sulking when he has made it on to the training field. Whether it is frustration at the amount of niggling injuries he's had or at his own form, who knows?

You obviously do not know Martyn, which club did you used to play for ?

Wonder if he has bought his Canada bound plane ticket

Whatever the reasons only a fool would loan a player to a direct rival no matter who comes in the fact is a player who on his day is as good as 6at directing play as you will see could win Huddersfield games the push them up and Leigh down the league, sounds to me like King Derek interfering again to bring in another "Big Name""

A decision probably forced upon us , HB being a position we do have cover for , although much debate among our fans from day one as to wether they have the quality for SL

It would seem the coaching staff have Riddy at the back of the list , meaning he isn't going to get a chance unless we suffer a serious injury crisis ' no doubt this doesn't sit well with Martyn , at his age now he will want to be playing

Obviously a preffered option for us would have been a mid Championship club , but if the Giants have asked then to be fair to Martyn he deserves to be given that choice , we do owe him that . He has taken that decision

If he has played his last for Leigh , then he deserves our thanks for many , many brilliant performances ' and I'd wish him well in the future , but hopes it isn't detrimental to our ambitions

Time will tell

Bit of advice here for you WHERESYERBALL.

1) how dare you say anything negative about 'King' Derek.

2) how dare you speak the truth - folk won't like that.

Ridyard and Drinkwater complemented each other superbly in the 2016 8s. So, either a masterstroke, (akin to playing him at hooker pre-8s last year as a source of motivation), or a mind-explosion from Neil Jukes. I'd question if Ridyard has been given enough time to acclimatise with Super League, as every week, the team is chopped and changed - excluding injuries. And although Jukes is clearly happy to rotate players each week, does he actually know his best team? I guess time will tell.
