He's not that bad mate. Sure, he's no world beater, but he's better than Jon Clarke.

Blasphemy!

I thought his second spell was good. He took Wigan forward from acting half, and his distribution was excellent, something we have been missing from the Wire penalty machine.

Maybe he should take some of Kierons "slimming pills"

Who? Mickey "Can't pass, Wont pass" Higham!

That's the boy. But according to Mick and Montmorency he will be the best signing for any club for this season.

Maybe after Moore, Tyrer and Smith return to Saints.

I have a feeling that Sam will play for Wigan this season before Easstmond plays for Saints.

Thats because Eastmond has Long in front of him whilst Tomkins has some overpaid Australian no mark in front of him.


How did Riddell get the nickname 'Piggy' by the way? Did this not ring any bells with Wiganers when they thought about signing the guy?

Ancient and Loyal.....the end is nigh.....keep the faith.

Is thatbecause Eastmond is injured and our half backs aren't as bad as yours?

IMO, Moore may well be back at Saints next year, he looks to have upped his game enormously this year and 12 months being coached by an ex hooker in Brown will do himn the world of good. Yesterday, he looked better than I've ever seem McIlorum play.

One of the reasons we are so cr@p at top level is this obsession with "running from dummy half"

Where has the craft gone from a ball playing hooker (I've just read that back to myself).

IMO we have too many hookers who are failed scrum halves.

Scott Moore did an outstanding impression of a ball playing Hooker yesterday.
20-30 yard quick passes to the halves.
As a result Robinson and Brown got lots of room to work with which made their halfback play more effective.

I note you dont mention Gary Wheeler who yesterday made the first team and scored a try.
Wheeler is of course younger than Sam Tomkins, has Long and Pryce to compete with in the halves, compared with Smith and Lulu, and yet has played two SL games to Tomkins ZERO.

When he was a kid his dad was in the police force. That's what Riddel says anyway.
