Riddell 117 from 19 = 6.15 per match average.
Higham 109 from 15 = 7.26 average per match.

So he runs more from Dummy Half??? So What???? He makes less metres per carry etc etc etc.
BTW - Higham played almost 80 mins in all his matches early season due to Clarkes injury so I would like to know his "Scoots" per game based on minutes played if you want to look at it like that.
Far better all round player than Higham and now a few fans have got over their "Must dislike at all costs" (Although not all of them obviously) attitude they are now seeing that we are a better team for him in the team.
Overall I think he is 80% of the player I hoped for although I do believe there is quite a bit more to come but nowhere near as disappointed as I was with Higham's contribution for the first 2 1/2 years of his stay!
In fact given the FACT that Riddell has played more games Yet Higham played more minutes early seaosn per game I would hazard a guess their "Game Time" this season is similar????
If that is the case then I don't think there is a lot of difference in their Stats other than Riddell More metres per Run Carry, Oh, And the obvious less Penalties (Less than Half as many as Higham) & Less mistakes (Again Less than Half as many as Higham).
As Rogues pointed out earlier, our distribution is a million times better and despite losing Barrett we have looked a lot more expansice IMO.
