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.

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.

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!

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

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

But yes, things do take time.

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