It is worth repeating that only number 4 should be taken into account.
It is quite simple, injury is the only excuse Riddell should be permitted for his poor start.
We have brought over in Riddell as an experienced NRL player so given his experience and position at hooker then if he is fit he should be right up to speed by now and be part of the solution to a team struggling for confidence, not part of the problem.
All this he is in a new country stuff is not good enough. People travel to work all the time and no one forced him to come here. He isn't some wet behind the ears kid but someone in his late twenties.
The way some people go on you would think leaving the boundaries of Wigan borough was a traumatic experience!
