MARK Riddell says he will be “very disappointed” to leave Wigan after confirming he will cut short his stay to return to Australia.

The hooker – who was under contract with Warriors until the end of 2011 – will depart at the end of this season because his mother is ill.

Will be a big loss to wigan - on this seasons form one of the best N0 9's wigan have had in many years.


All top teams heed a hooker who can direct a team and put an element of doubt into the defence - it makes teh first receiver's job so much easier.

will be interesting to see how he is replaced - i'm not convinced of a MM TL pairing for next season.

It seems Sky have announced this before Wigan have!

Shame he`s leaving he`s played well this year , I agree it`s odd sky have announced it before Wigan .

Tommy to hooker with MM , means we need a good scrum half , Deacons not good enough .

But in any case good luck to Mark Riddell and hope his mother is okay .

Personally think this is the right decision for Mark, for no other reason than familly must always come first. I wish him and his familly all the best for the future. Hope things go well for you both on and off the pitch.
