I thought Riddell did ok yesterday but I would like to see more attacking runs and creative play from him.

I still think it will take him a good few weeks to get used to Super League as it seems to me that he's still testing the water at the moment.

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.

That isn't entirely Riddell's fault

The forwards should be running onto the ball as soon as Piggy arches his back to pick the ball up

On the bright side it is nothing an hour on the training pitch won't solve

Yeh I agree with that.

It can be solved easily but under Noble you have to wonder.

This should never have been an issue, it's basic rugby.

Agreed. Seemed to take a few more runs from dummy half yesterday too.

Your not wrong there

However I'd be more worried if we were saying this around September/October time

I am not Noble's biggest fan but I have confidence in him to get the players doing the basic's right

KEEP THE FAITH!

I thought Riddell was good last night. His passing was good, he ran the ball at the right times, tackled well and gave away no stupid penalties.

I now understand why you and I disagree so much.

It's because we are watching different games.

Riddell put 3 passes to ground, innumerable passes to head, and looks slower than a tax rebate.

And to all these people claiming that Riddell only looks bad because the other players around him aren't reading his plays, have you ever played the game?

Jeez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
