I think Riley looks quite a prospect there, he's certainly beat more defenders from there over the last four games than a few others we've had in recent years.
However, I think he could do with a 'rest' from that position for now. Put him on the wing or drop him for mine. Let him come back in in a few weeks/months when we don't desperately need points. Allow him to work on his game.

I think we should stick with Riley.

It's hobson's choice at the moment.






Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

You are wrong!

"Hobsons choice" is where you have no choice at all - the only option being the one offered to you.

There are other options to playing Riley at fullback, Hicks, Bridge etc all of which have been covered above.

Personally I would rather see one of Thomas Hobsons carthorses (after whom the phrase originated - "You can have the horse in the end stable or none at all") playing at fullback at the moment.

I would like to give him a chance. But only on the wing. I think we need to start winning matches before we start playing players in positions for devolpment purposes

I can remember going to a game in the Anderson/Plange era where they decided to put Lee Briers at full back!!!!

And we think weve got it bad now!

Didn't stop Readon being left there and he made faaaar more mistakes than Riley. I was really heartened by Tony Smith's comments about supporting the youngsters (and Riley). That's how they will get better, not being dropped and forced to play reserve rugby.
