I thought his passing game would be much better than Higham's, and he'd get the forwards running onto flat passes so that we'd be over the gain line almost immediately.
As it is, Riddell is taking an age to get the pass away, he's passing it 3 metres backwards, the forwards are taking it standing still and the defenders are on them almost immediately and we're making no yards at all.
Very poor indeed from the whole team.
That isn't entirely Riddell's fault
The forwards should be running onto the ball as soon as Piggy arches his back to pick the ball up
On the bright side it is nothing an hour on the training pitch won't solve

Agreed. Seemed to take a few more runs from dummy half yesterday too.

I now understand why you and I disagree so much.
It's because we are watching different games.
Riddell put 3 passes to ground, innumerable passes to head, and looks slower than a tax rebate.
And to all these people claiming that Riddell only looks bad because the other players around him aren't reading his plays, have you ever played the game?

we have the london game on tv now .9
winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11
