I have always liked the idea of trying Gareth Hock in the centre.

We have lots of back-rowers, and Hock's best work is done when running out wide.

He is big, quick, strong, and probably busts more tackles than anyone else. I also think his off-loading game could be better utilised out wide, as it could be more effective with less traffic around him.

Just so long as our halfbacks support him; hopefully if Sam T gets a run in the team then this'll be the case.






Conroy - Being a Latics fan i'm already immune to watching sh*te.

Sally Cinnamon - Treat the Saints forum as you would if you met a girl from St Helens. Best policy would be to avoid altogether but if you absolutely can't resist temptation then take every possible precaution.

I disagree about Riddell, I thought he had a decent game on Saturday.


we will have to agree to disagree on that one Mr Rogues i thought he was far to slow and lacked any ideas but thats my opinion.






£100 donated to Mike Gregory Fund thanks to Saints winning F#CK ALL !!! thanks JLM23 for paying up.

Riddell has offered next to nothing so far this season. Lets be honest.

Hock in the centres?

I'd like to see that given a go. Hock v Senior, bring it on! :D

Wigan fans are a great example of judging players too early and i include myself in that.

Lets look at Pat Richards as an example, dropped to the Academy and nearly sold to Wakefield. And look at him now.

Riddel is having a tough time getting us to playing in the UK and that can be for a number of reasons. Lets just see how he goes over the next few months.

True.

I have to admit that I thought Pat was a total waste of space when he first came over :oops:

And you would have been right, he was clueless in his first season. But look how quickly form can change.

I simply said Riddell has offered nothing SO FAR. Which I stand by.

Richards was thrust into a terrible team, lots going on behind the scenes and played at centre, a position he wasn't use to.

I'm pretty sure Riddell has played 9 before :D

But yes, things do take time.

I've heard that he's quite nifty on the guitar. Rock on Phil!
