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.

Very well said

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.

Looks like his fitness is improving, he looked well up for it tonight. Hope he keeps improving and gets back to the NRL form he showed.

I can't believe some people were so quick to write him off

Only out of some blind loyalty to Higham though...

He was really good tonight, he did some good runs and was a great leader when on the field.

or the ability to look but not see.

brilliant performance he s made me eat my words this week keep it up piggy

How many assists did he rack up tonight


Great performance!

If he continues in the way he played tonight then we will have made a good signing here. From the first few games i was not impressed with him, but that may have been because he was carrying an injury (apparently). However tonight he looked like he wanted to play, and some of the runs he made were brilliant.

He was superb tonight, made plenty of yards, and his passing was spot on.

Come on guys who called him rotten over the last few weeks?

No overseas player settles in overnight and every Wigan fan should have learned their lesson via the way Pat Richards settled in for us over a long period of time.

A superb showing tonight from the Pig!

I can't believe you are spouting this "settling in" rubbish yet again. It is complete nonsense for a player of his age and experience.

The fact he has apparently had a good game is great but it is about time. If he has been injured fair enough that is a good excuse but please give up on this he hasn't settled in rubbish. Pat Richards is no example.

Did you ever see McCormack play? He didn't need any of this settling in in time. If Riddell was injured that was a problem and it wasn't fair to play him. If not, no excuse.

Dave

Of course it takes time to settle in.



He's playing in a completely different competition in completely different country.

Craig Smith is an example of a player that took time settle , and Mark Riddell has improved with each game, i was impressed with his decision makeing which was very positive instead of being caught in two minds and leading to errors .

As i posted during the week, he needs time, and the dropping of Smith seems to have given a few players a kick up the backside.

Great performance from him and shows what he is capable of. I just hope this is the sign of things to come!

Piggy played well last night. As many have said it was a matter of when he settled he would come good not not will he come good. He lead us around the pitch like a good hooker should. We have not had this since Newton. People have missed out on his defense. I thought he looked good in that department. He showed glimpses of how good he is at Quins and carried on last night. Lets hope he continues to get better week-by-week.

How long before we get a chant of 'feed the pig and he will score?'

How is pat richards no example? it took him a year too settle in



You've been shown up tonight dave after all the stick you've given him, and if you had actually gone to the game you wouldnt even have posted this.
