I must be watching a different player over the past month or so because i think he's been playing pretty well.
I think he's got more to offer but his form isn't too bad.

I don't think he is doing much wrong... I just don't see him as a world class player on current form and seens as though thats what we/I was expecting... The reality is somewhat different to my expectation... So do we have a right to be somewhat dissapointed after losing micky higham... for someone who isnt any better on current form...

Well constructed argument their Rogues?? Apart from Mickey being injured at the moment... last year mickey was a consistently good performer, which was one of the reasons why so many never wanted him to leave.....

i wanted him to leave.
Higham was consistent though, consistently average. Riddell showed me more in the first few games of the season, when he was playing badly, than one scoot mick did in the 2nd half of last.

I've edited my post above to show the reasons.
Higham was never a consistently good performer for Wigan in his three seasons at the club.
His errors and penalties conceded were disgraceful for a so called top class hooker. His passing was abysmal.
So that leaves his scooting and metres from dummy half.
Riddell is doing better at that ( see the stats)
Higham was a badge kissing scarf waving failure.
Higha is the third best hooker at Warrington.
Do you not think that their improvement in form has coincided with Highams absence?

I don't want to turn this into a "witch hunt".. but piggy was very poor in the first few games, which is one of the reasons he got slatted so much along with roberts...
How short peoples memories are... micky was one of the reason we did well in the play-off always giving 120%... can the same be said for riddell ATM

Statistics damn Statistics.... If only the game was played like a game of Topps Trumps... I can only say what I see rather than spouting stats... micky had his faults as do all players but he was effective and was very dangerous at times in games... Like I said many on here were calling for him to stay (along with Stevo & Eddie)... Could the same be said for Piggy on the form he has shown up until the last few weeks??

| Quote NickyKiss="NickyKiss"Riddell deserves his place on form over the past few weeks.
This witch hunt against him from certain sections is stupid. His form is improving and has never been that bad anyway.
We've had and have far worse players.'"
Not a chance............what games have you been watching? Riddell needs benching or dropping if only to give him the impetus to get fit. Leuleui starting and riddell off the bench......otherwise your other option is bench leului (which is FAR from deserved), or start with Sam and Tommy in the middle, and then mess around with the halves again just to give fat boy a breather after hes knackered from 20 minutes of hooking  ....and as we saw early season, we dont want to go for the option of messing with the halves AGAIN!
Of all the options I prefer the first one. .....Gleese to S/o....Sam to S/h...Tommy Leu to Hooker.....fat boy keeping the bench warm if hes lucky.
The only other feasible option is Flannagan on the bench to interchange with the pig....but frankly i dont think flannagan is up to the standard required to play as a SL interchange hooker yet, just as much as the pig isnt the required standard to be a starting SL hooker!

I understand what your saying and partially agree but you need to be a little more open minded, Riddell has improved vastly since the Celtic game IMO. The Hull KR game he was not bad tbh just McIlorum had a really good game.

I agree with your comments...lets hope he just gets better and better, he's some way to go to meet the expectations I/we have had before he arrived... + he's here for another two years so lets  he does!!

| Going back to the squad, Catalans will have all their big men on the field Friday, we need to do the same. Pryce and Mossop must play.
If Hansen has damaged the ligaments in his hand/wrist then he shouldn't play. A bad knock could make it worse and really put him out for weeks.
Hansen and Flanagan to miss out unless there are other injuries we don't know about.

My thoughts exactly. We need to use Pryce effectively, get him running at their defence close to their line.
