As mentioned earlier, he got injured in Pre season After the Hudds game but he missed the Leigh game.
He then played at Hull and got a bad knock on it in the opening 5 minutes and limped through the rest of the game as we had No bodies left late in the game.
To me he has looked a touch sharper/Better in each of the next couple of games and given a run of 10 games or so I am sure we will see the real Riddell.
As already mentioned, 3 years of Higham and a Handfull of Good games (Not Great Games just Good) wasnt good enough. Only time will tell wether Riddell will improve on that.
Too many people with views I respect that have seen a lot more of him than me seem to think he will be a Good un, that's good enough for me to give him 3-6 months.
