I guess this is the point I am making when I said "I also like wingers to take on their opposite number, centre and full back and to back themselves occasionally". Riley clearly does not believe he can take on his opposite number when not in diving distance of the line. I do not recall seeing him do this. He has also left some very soft tries in when in a one on one situation.

The Wolves are also thought to have agreed a transfer fee with Featherstone for prop Anthony England.



OK - only just seen this. Rumour or fact?

To be fair, those players play in positions that will get a lot more traffic than a winger so you'd expect a stat like that or are you really suggesting that Riley is a better tackler than Westwood?

The reference to Grix, Monaghan and Westwood might have been ever so slightly tongue-in-cheek.

I'm refusing to watch The Wire till Kevin Penny is on the wing.

What kind of reprobate follows wire and a sheffield based football club?

I follow Sean Bean sunshine!!

I must have been thinking of someone else then

Apology accepted Yed. I would change my avatar to remove the Sheff Utd badge but I believe it is a cracking photo of Bean, one of his best in fact.

Manlove alert

is anyone surprised at the length of joels contract? according to the sporting life website, he is signed up upntil the end of 2017, which will make him 35 and a half. pretty old for a top class winger, even in this day and age with how they look after themselves. granted he has never had blinding speed, but is he going to be moving into the pack or more centre field in the coming years?
