He played well and showed signs of how good he can be for us. Wouldn't like us to go over the top, as usual.

Like some of us did with Highham, Mark has shown us how a real hooker should play.

PS

If that was Just decent then I will reassess Mickey's performances over 3 years to 1/2 dozen "Half Decent" games and 50 Poor & 50 Awful ones!


Read AJ's post, or any of mine throughout the entire time Higham was at Wigan, before making yourself look like a fool in future.

If you wasn't so hung up on making that worthless point you may have read my post properly and understand I was paying Riddell a compliment.

Having been one of the few people not to knock him over the last few weeks, I merely acknowledged he improved. But also how we are overating his actual performance, from the point of view that he his heading down the road to showing us what he's really capable of.

I don't quite get that point. But to clear things up for you, I've been saying for the past two years that Higham wasn't capable of being the primary hooker for a team wanting to break into the top two.

Mark showed us nothing last night compared to what he is capable of. I have also gone to the extent of explaining how it is understandable he is slowly building up his form.

I thought he played very well last night but as Steinlager says he is going to get better which is brilliant for us.

That first 20 minutes he was the one who laid the foundations for a good team performance IMO - which is what Higham was incapable of. Higham could only play when he was given space and time round the ruck and he could lead a running game.

The biggest thing for me last night was we looked comfortable and in control. We played with more structure and Piggy was instrumental to all that with Tommy and Sam as well as McIllorum when he came on.

Really impressed with Riddell last night.

It's amazing what a bit of creativity around the ruck can do, and on a night where the whole time was firing, I think Piggy's distribution, set plays and runs from dummy half really allowed our pack to dominate and as a result we ran away with it.

If he can keep that up we'll be laughing this season.
