Higham was rubbish Riddell needs to improve more





YOU STAY CLASSY SAN DIEGO ( that means goodnight and godbless)

Whether he is better than Higham is not the issue and if that is good enough for now for you then you are simply ignoring the fact that compared to his contemporaries he just isn't very good.

But yet you continue to defend Higham!!!!!!!

Your opinions are Worthless Dave, I know it, You know it And everyone else knows it!

PS

You still choose to ignore every FACTUAL stat that proves Riddell better in a particular area than Higham or anyone else.
It is you who has the problem with Riddell (As you have with Roberts) and when you don't get your own way in an argument you use every trick in the book to deflect the criticism onto the players you don't like.

As for ignoring Cadoo's remarks, I haven't ignored them more than you have ignored many other posts defending Riddell, What do you want me to do, Reply to EVERY POST????
I accept His post in the main and agree he hasn't been a "Stand Out" player as many hoped for.

But he has been far better than most have given him credit for (Particularly the "Scapegoat" Mob) and is improving nearly every game.

You say that I am "simply ignoring the fact that compared to his contemporaries he just isn't very good"

Tell me Dave!

What FACT is this, In What Way are YOUR Worthless Opinions "Facts"??????

Last year I told you Mickey Higham was the Worst "Starting 9" in the League and I would have had Any Other Starting 9 in the league over him.

I stand by that & I believe it has been proved right.

I also think Piggy is Middle of the "Starting 9's" League if I were to pick one & just because he is Oversea's, on whatever Money he is on, Not a Wiganner and has a slightly Tubby Tummy doesn't get away from what I see Week In Week out and that is IMO he is miles better than Higham at the Job we need him to do!

From what I see with my own eyes that is the case and the stats back him up favourably in Many Many Areas!
Yes a another starting 9 may be better on 1 stat but will be worse on another!

Riddell and Higham are completely different hookers with completely different playing styles so comparing them is futile IMO.

McIlorum shows us more promise than Higham and Riddell offers us something different so we was right in getting rid of Higham IMO.

As for Riddell's performances so far I have stated before that he is a dangerous player but is too inconsistent at the moment.

Should the title not be Riddell...Dummy Half Rolling?!

Don't give up the day job.

A fair point. Terry Newton and Keiron Cunningham are no slim jims but have been two of the best hookers in the British game. Riddell proved me (and a few others) wrong about his fitness. He lasted around 60 minutes which for someone who should be involved at the start of every play the ball is very good. (No wonder he isn't making as many dummy half runs ) but I still don't think it would do any harm for Riddell to slim down. Although I don't think it is as necessary as I thought it was.

However this does not apply to Karl Pryce and Feka.
