As a Fev fan who has dipped into this thread to see what we can expect from Dean, could someone clarify if we are discussing his claim to being Warrington's all-time greatest player, or just in the modern era?

Watched Riley play in last night`s game Keighley v Featherstone shown live on Viaplay.



He won the man of the match award for a dominant halfback display.

Missed the game last night, but made up Dean played so well. Hopefully this loan proves he's up to being a first choice half back at wire(which I believe he is!)

Well if there’s one coach with the ability to spot a young half-back and get him playing to first team standard, it should be Powell (based on what he’s done elsewhere).



Let’s hope Dean is still firmly in Powell’s thoughts for next year onwards.

Riley going to fev is MASSIVE for his development, he'll play week in week out against high quality opposition. So the experience he will gain will be huge compared to playing in the reserves a handful of times a year.

Totally agree. It's tough rugby too & you have to be sharp as a young half-back just to keep out of harms way.

He is on contract with Wire until the end of 2024.

Plus he's still training with us full time and we have a recall option, great for club and player I think.

Yeah 100%, Powell has made the right choice with Riley. As he won't displace Williams or Drinkwater. And i forgot about the recall option so this is a win win for us and him

Seems I was right all along.

I just hope his huge knackers don't stop him from working magic against Saints .

They could serve to distract Tommy Makinson though? Just when he needs his hands to catch those high bombs.
