To me Riddell looks like he's put weight on since he got here.

I accept Piggy is never going to be svelte but surely he can be made to lose a few pounds?

I've lost all faith in our fitness and backoom set up. Why can't they put him on the same kind of weight loss regime that Inga was put on when he arrived?

Doesnt look anywhere near fit and has been very disapointing to say the least.

He can only get better but he needs to improve his fitness and fast!

Riddell needs time, so many players come to this country and take time to settle in, Richards was garbage in his first season, some people said get rid, glad we didnt now.






Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

FIOS

I agree, a much improved performance last night, still a lot to come from the big lad but thought did well. A nice controlled performance.






Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.

Jack have you watched the game again yet?


Yes, and what I posted above was correct.

He offers nothing.

He is slow, his passing accuracy is terrible, and if he is fit then I don't want to be.

It was his best performance of the season so far, but that is saying very little.

So far, a huge mistake of a signing.

PS, All these youngsters that aren't quite ready? that's two that have been tried, and both have put in the performances of the season so far.

The foreigners are still not showing up.

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?

Jeez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Good post :CLAP:

Bailey - played well, no stupid defensive blunders and scored a try :wink: that Goulding should have done v Hull

Tommy - played well

Pat - played well at fullback one mistake

Carmont - superb timing of the pass for Ainscoughs 1st try

Roberts - defensively sound, read the interception well.

Riddell - I was quite happy with his performance

Feka - Did what he does well (look at the other thread)

Smith - Had a distinctly average game

Ainscough - scored two good tries, but missed a couple of tackles that could have cost us and dropped a catchable bomb, that put Quins in very good position.

Tomkins - Superb, a kid I've always rated. Look back over my posts over the last three years.






SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

Bailey was all over the place in defence. The right side got murdered yet again and if that had been Goulding in the centre there would have been a thread on here slagging him off and demanding he be dropped. Somehow though Bailey can do no wrong with some, no matter how he plays.

Carmont was all at sea for both tries down the left. Again no criticism from those on here that think he can do no wrong even though he hasnt done much in the 4 games to date.

Smith was absolutely awful yet again and was so bad in defence that Noble didnt dare put him back on. There is no way that he deserves to be in the squad for next week. McIlorum should be back in.

The rest I sort of agree with.

Do you think Goulding would have scored that try?

If you drop Carmont who would play there?
