Riddell : Sat Mar 07, 2009 8:06 pm  

Top performance from him tonight showing his ability now, were I RHJ i would start listing posters who had criticised his and ask for some kind of ego boosting apology, but thankfully i am not.

Offered more tonight in his spells than we ever saw from Higham in the cherry and white.

Delivery was spot on, lead us round the pitch and made the right decisions regards when to pass, scoot and kick.

Just thinking the same myself.

Great performance from Piggy tonight, about time.

I will stop calling him Jimmy Riddle now.

when everyone was getting on his back i never said anything, his quality will come through he did very well tonight, he isnt lighning quick but he just gets that yard of pace to get through the gap, very well done to him tonight

And that is key, we now have a hooker who can do these things.

As he gets fitter this will only improve.

Hopefully people will now stop crying over Mickey (well except dave of course!)

i've always backed him, knew he had it in him. People criticise too soon.
He was fantastic tonight and he is passionate you could see how chuffed he was with his break for hansens try the way he celebrated with the south stand. Keep it up Piggy

There were clear signs at Quins that he was getting it together and I was both surprised and disappointed at the level of negative reaction he was receiving. I thought he was very, very good tonight as was everyone to be fair.

Most of the stick has been from the Micky fan club, which I can only assume, will have lost a few members tonight.

Fantastic performance.

The main difference today was he actually took the defence on and every time he made yards or made a half/full break. Hopefully we'll see even more improvement and if he does better that performance today, well we have a fantastic hooker on our hands.

He took a fair bit of stick at the start of the season but I knew he would come good just needed time to show us his true quality, well played Mark.
