| Quote: Hatfield tiger "Well something behind the scenes must have happened. I am not saying that i know anything but it seems very odd.
An employer can not turn around and tell you - "right your off". That is basically unfair dismissal. An at very least is an industrial tribunual if not a full blown court case. As far as i am aware neither of these have happened.
Add to that the fact that RM himself has made no mention of potentially seeking the advice of the players union or GMB makes it all the more odd.
Would seem to me a scenario of "mutual consent from both parties" - which if thats the case begs you to ask the question what have either party done which they want to keep quiet.'"
He was told he couldn't join in team training sessions, Cas would still have had to pay him as he had two years left on his contract, it would have been pay him every month for doing nothing or buy him out of his two years, as it is you and us have negotiated a deal and we're both contributing to his wages. Millward, no matter how great he thinks he is, cannot just sack a player without reason and without payment. I remember finding it strange reading his tweets in pre-season stating he was training alone, obviously Millward doesn't rate him (I don't particularly either) but the way he was frozen out whilst under contract was a very poor wy of handling things.

And he had a bit of history in the 'freezer' department....remember Keith Mason?

| Interesting to me that the majority of criticism levelled at Basil seems to be derived from Richie's Twitter account of things and this single article and based on little else.
I think I will keep my own powder dry and afford a professional club coach with at least 1 CC win and a SL ring a little more credit for his opinion than ours. NONE OF US have the insight and the 'truth' we have a perception from distance based on some media play and some edited interviews.
I have no axe to grind with Richie Mathers, seems a cracking lad to me with a lot of talent, but in my job sometimes, I have to look at individuals, no matter how much I like them for the overall good of what I am trying to create?

| It just didnt work out for Mathers at Cas one of the reasons being , he couldnt tackle a good dinner, strange for a fullback. Those at Wakey will be singing from a different sheet when they have seen his efforts in a few tough games.
Just my opinion

You're not giving Basil enough credit.
He won 2 Challenge Cups, 2 Grand Finals and a World Club Challenge at Saints. And then did a great job as an agent under-cover at Wigan
As for Mathers, he may be 'a nice lad' but he's now played in SL for 5 clubs and lasted only a season (I think it was 6 games) with Gold Coast. What does that tell you ? Very ordinary.

| I see Betts has told Mathers to 'man up' today. Don't think he'll be missed, frankly.

I wonder if he said the same to Scott Moore and Stefan Marsh - his own players who made similar comments on Twitter, that mysteriously disappeared the following day?

I would worry about Betts, he was never more than a average player and only played for GB because he played at Wigan, unless anyone wants to tell me different of course.
He's making himself look rather foolish one week into his SL career.

| Yes it is going to be interesting watching any game at the Stobart, not only will you have trainers running on with water bottles/passing on instructions, they will also be bringing on the grease during stoppages to be rubbed on players knees and elbows.
Unless you take to the field at the start larded up like a cross channel swimmer
