No, moderator in Milwaukee, names mentioned there then

Of course not.

You trying to be funny?

Dave...er...I mean Phil

He was brilliant last night, looked to be fitter and also looked as though he has lost a bit of weight.

Was you watching the game, I don't know how you can rate his game just decent he was pretty awesome last night.

piggy was brill last night.

He played well and showed signs of how good he can be for us. Wouldn't like us to go over the top, as usual.

Like some of us did with Highham, Mark has shown us how a real hooker should play.

Read AJ's post, or any of mine throughout the entire time Higham was at Wigan, before making yourself look like a fool in future.

If you wasn't so hung up on making that worthless point you may have read my post properly and understand I was paying Riddell a compliment.

Having been one of the few people not to knock him over the last few weeks, I merely acknowledged he improved. But also how we are overating his actual performance, from the point of view that he his heading down the road to showing us what he's really capable of.

I don't quite get that point. But to clear things up for you, I've been saying for the past two years that Higham wasn't capable of being the primary hooker for a team wanting to break into the top two.

Mark showed us nothing last night compared to what he is capable of. I have also gone to the extent of explaining how it is understandable he is slowly building up his form.

stop talking e he showed use what he capable of i watched him alll last season in nrl an that s what he capable of just need s get fitter an last longer but last night he played very good if he could of lasted longer on the pitch he was m.o.m for me just behind tomkins,hock,feka, the full em was m.o.m but piggy had a very good game when he was on the pitch

You have to laugh sometimes

I thought he played very well last night but as Steinlager says he is going to get better which is brilliant for us.

That first 20 minutes he was the one who laid the foundations for a good team performance IMO - which is what Higham was incapable of. Higham could only play when he was given space and time round the ruck and he could lead a running game.

The biggest thing for me last night was we looked comfortable and in control. We played with more structure and Piggy was instrumental to all that with Tommy and Sam as well as McIllorum when he came on.

To hero

Calling Jonh (super coach) can you please show me were ive ever asked for an apology.
You seem to of gone quiet now.
Thanks.

Really impressed with Riddell last night.

It's amazing what a bit of creativity around the ruck can do, and on a night where the whole time was firing, I think Piggy's distribution, set plays and runs from dummy half really allowed our pack to dominate and as a result we ran away with it.

If he can keep that up we'll be laughing this season.

It needs to be pointed out that first game this year we have won the battle in the forwards meaning our halves had the time of their lives.

Only went quiet because i was not able to access the site old love

He doesn't have to get better. If he can repeat that performance on a regular basis, ably backed up by McIlorum, I will be more than satisfied.
But if he did get better...

Riddell also showed he wasnt slo when he broke the line, he is quicker than newton or KC.

oh i am

Riddell missed a goal against Cas but he is down as not having missed any.
If that fact is incorrect maybe others are as well.

I admit I have been heavily critical of piggy's performances so far up to the bradford game, which everyone would admit were dire at an understatement.
However in the bradford game he had an absolute blinder, and I take my hat off to him, although sky must have had the replay on fast forward when he broke through for hansen's second try, watching it from 5m away from where he broke through he was about half the speed sky made him out to be.



It does make you wonder, would he have played that well if smith hadn't been dropped for him to realise that even he would not be immune from being dropped if he continued to be poor for us.

He had a good game, certanly his best by far in a Wigan shirt and he showed the enthusiasm and character that we had heard so much about prior to his arrival.

Hopefully his fitness will improve the more games he plays. The break that he made for the Hansen try was brilliant and obviousley did his confidence the world of good.

More of the same against Leeds please Piggy!
