Riddy has signed for Featherstone rovers

Consistently the best half back in the Championship for years. Whoever we bring in, I think we would've been well served on seeing a bit more value in a half back with his record.

Thank you for your efforts at Leigh Martin, all the best for your future

Gave a good account of himself at Huddersfield in SL .Leigh must have offered him peanuts of a contract if Featherstone can pay him more.In my opinion we will regret this move hes as good if not better than the halves we have at present.Seems if you live in Leigh the club don't want you

Ive given the little bug ger some right sheeite over the years....

Bug ger me.... he now signs for us lot.

Good luck at Fev Ridy.

Don't know what went on behind the scenes but he deserved a lot more game time with Leigh in SL. He's Leigh through and through, much better than the halves we stuck with. Who'll forget that interception try he scored against Huddersfield to get us into SL. Didn't think he still had the speed to make the line but he did. Riddy's been an excellent player for Leigh. Sorry to see you go and sorry for the way you've been treated. I'd rather see Jukes replaced than Riddy.

Your gain our loss

Gutted. All the best for your new venture, mate.

Its a shame but his lack of speed wa an issue

Wouldn't have complained if we'd have kept him, most Fartowners acknowledge our upturn in form and subsequent survival was a lot down to Riddy's arrival and him taking the pressure of Broughy.

Would have thought he'd be back in favour considering his record in the championship, seems a strange one signing for another championship club, i take it whatever the problem was it burnt his bridges at Leigh then?

So Reynolds is a speed merchant.Reynolds intercepted one game and should have been penalised for a voluntary tackle because he went down when being caught from behind

Sad day, with the pack we are building would have been great leading the team around the park. Leigh legend, all the best at Feath.

Pressure on to bring in really good half back now!

I agree with you 100% WYSI.

Did well enough in Super League for us, didn't need speed, he had a good kicking game and a good rugby brain, they were more important than speed at the time.

Another Australian- Hutchinson

to be at the top you need all the skills, not just a couple

Well, hopefully we're doing a better job with our overseas signings this year and last. If he's good enough to take us up, I don't care if he's from Aus or Leigh.

My issue with losing Ridyard isn't that he's a Leigh lad, it's that he's a good stand off. And even with a new signing coming in, we still have no cover or competition for places at 6.7 and 9.

Not as big a loss as everyone says.. Yeah top lad and good player but for some reason wasn't working at Leigh.. He has plenty of chances at beginning of last year and it just didn't work... He's a top lad and a good player but let's move on he's gone end of

Fully agree - it’s a bonus he’s a leigh lad too IMO.
Having read the press release from the club I can’t help but feel that DB is a bit miffed - going on about etiquette ffs!

I just hope Ridy is remembered for his loyalty, his performances and his record breaking career at Leigh and I hope fans don’t turn against him like we have had with others.

Sorry to see him go. All the best to you Martin.
Onward Leythers. I await the 10am

announcement.

Dumb and Dumber have made a right mess by obliterating a team which didn't even finish bottom -- even DB doesn't know what's going on. What a complete shambles. Imminent Fireworks.

We didn't need him to take us to the top, just enough to help us survive in Super League.

Suspect DB knew that Ridyard hadn't agreed a contract at Leigh, just not that the deal with Fev had been finalised.

As for team which didn't finish bottom, the team wasn't good enough. If it was bottom team goes down, maybe widnes would have had players play through more injuries whereas instead they played the reserves and academy players. While we went into the 8s busted up. Ultimately we weren't good enough and Ridyard is the first official departure that I'm disappointed that we've lost.
