Why would you shift any of the back row to accommodate Riddell?



If you want a different hooker such as TL with Deacon at 7 then either McIlorum or Riddell just gets dropped from the 17.



I think the point may be a but moot anyway as I have seen it posted on Mike's site McIllorum has broken his hand so is out for six weeks so will miss the start of the season but where they all fit I'd expect Riddell to be fighting it out for the 9 slot and no other position.



Also on Mike's site it mentions Karl Pryce has dislocated his shoulder. Apologies if this injury info has been posted elsewhere., not had chance to read the site much lately.

He needs to learn how to play hooker first by scooting twice every set first, just ask Rogues.

He is definately not a scooter boy

I wouldn't do that once McIllorum's back as I rate him highly but yeah while he's injured and we've got loads of depth in the back row it would be a smart move. Mind it all depends on pre-season form, if Riddell picks up maybe he'll be worth a spot.

Except if you knew anything about Deeej, then you'd know his highest average season was 70 minutes and 42 tackles this year. Do you do anything other than troll? fail troll is still fail.

In his last season with the Eels he regularly started at hooker then was replaced by a 21yr old rookie whose name escapes me. The kid usually then played the rest of the game and Piggy came back in the last 20 as a second rower running in the left channel.
