Must say i'd never heard of him until friday, is he related to tom, phil, kylie etc

Yes he is

What's happened to Ridyard?

Is he injured or have we given up on him already?

Don't think he's injured, it seems more that we have 'given up on him.' I think the initial plan was too play him in the reserves for a year and move him next year, but due to the Blaney deal falling through he had to be thrown in the deep end.

Let's keep playing him then.

He's a stand off and he'll never improve sat on the bench. We are the best team in RL at putting square pegs in round holes, why do we keep doing it every season?

ridyard is supposed b playin in the u21's for a bit

Fair enough if we've got another stand off to play there but clearly we haven't unless we decide to play Marsh as he's the only other guy with any real experience in that position.

We knew we needed a stand off at the end of last season so it criminal that this hasn't been addressed.

i say heremaia

Please tell me you are joking

deffo not, he is one of the best scrum half i've seen play for leigh, hu wud u suggest signin

I don't know I haven't seen who else is out there to be honest.

However if Heremaia is one of the best scrum halves you've seen at Leigh I'd suggest you've not been watching us that long.

Oh and like you said "scrum half", not "stand off".

i've been watchin leigh 9 years and i'm 16 so i do know what i'm talkin about

Duffy Green Johnson Boylan Watson need I go on all better than hemoroides, sorry DS its you who need specsavers

Ah somone with a bit of sense.

I didn't say Heremaia wasn't a good player but there were many better than him since Murph. I'd add Bob Beardmore to that list as well actually.

after the Salford game Neil Kelly said in response to my comment that "Ridyard did ok" he replied "yes, but I could do with another stand off, it's no good just having 'the young lad' as our only choice."
Well, apart from playing Lee Marsh there, not much action on that front.
He maybe trying to bring someone in, but we don't know this do we ?

Does he?

duffy and watson better than Herm?? dont talk wet he carried us round the park and had to do the lazy forwards work. A top player please dont say duffy again he is and always has been rap

Duffy duffy duffy

Hemoroids is that good he's playing?????? where

I would n`t put him ahead of Varley,Ford,Beardmore,Johnson,Donohue but thats my opinion.

Heremaia was a quality player he could pass, tackle and kick (at times)

and more importantly he was a leader on the field and we just don't have one of those at the moment.

Lets hope that Ned has got two new players (Stand Off and Centre) lined up to come in, even if they are on load they would be a boost to the squad at the moment. However, things aren't looking up on the signings front due to cash restraints

Yet I seem to remember that when he was playing, we were crying out for a half back that could do these things.

Heremaia carried the team in his last year, he was paired with many different Stand Offs IIRC and in a team that was put together at the last minute he certainly did his part. Look at the original post, I know his kicking game wasn't top notch all of the time but when it was, he used it to good effect.
