I understand that Riddell is a former NRL superman, but to me he looks out of his depth.

If I could be bothered I would go back about 10 weeks to find the threads were certain people were telling me that Riddell was the saviour, and that he was better than any other hooker at the club.

Those people look a bit silly now.

the guy has had an off-season to get fit. were nearly half way through the season and theres still concerns about his fitness. think it wil take alot more than afew weeks in reserves to sort him out.


is he ever gonna be capable of getting fit??

Been saying this for over a year now! We will not be competitive until he is gone. BN states that 'we are heading in the right direction'.

Sorry Brian, the only direction I want to see you head is here:

Change your location lad, you've only been gone 10 weeks!

Maybe because Hull KR depended superbly?

All i am able to do is speculate but to me if we stick with a tactic that continually fails to produce the desired returns, then changes need to be made, it seems to me we just continued to attempt to go down the middle time and time agin which played right into KR's hands.

We didnt. We tried kicks, we tried various attacking plays. Due to the conditions the wingers had to come back inside or they would have been taken into touch.

KR scored two of the luckiest tries you will ever see. Their last was a cracking move. But they played the same way.

As time ticked down we forced more and due to the weather the ball went to ground, its that simple, when you see the game I cant see how you will see it differently.

Sorry, but you seem to have watched a different game.

We had 3 sets of 6 on their try line. 10 one-out dummy half runs, a number of fumbles, and one kick.

We lost, and it was nothing to do with Hull KR's luck.

We did exactly the same as we did against Saints earlier in the year when we lost. We had all the possession, and no idea what to do with it.

Fair play cannot comment on the specifics.

Didn't your "two best players" play in that game?

Sorry mate, but I don't watch anywhere near enough reserve games to get into a discussion with you.

Now then, why don't you get a cup of tea, settle back into your shrine to The Pig, and gaze longingly at the life size poster of Fatty which must, in all honesty, cover most of the walls in your house.

Yes, and one of them scored two tries in it.

Any other questions?

spot on dave

Agreed.

I said at the game last night i agreed with the decision to rest Tomkins but his absence showed why he must be brought back in next week.

FWIW i didn't think Riddell played too badly. He defended tough(but not as tough as McIlorum) and made a couple of good runs even charging onto one like a prop.
