Yeah rotating, they have complemented each other very well so far this season.

| Mathers as the last line of defence is superb. The amount of times he gets under the body of a player over the try line to hold them up is as good as anybody in the league.
If a fullback is faced with a player one on one in mid-field it means somebody else has failed in defence not the fullback.

Would you rather we still had Gleeson and Mathers was at Wigan?'"
Im more than happy with where the two ended up

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

+1
Mathers is a very likeable lad, but in truth a very average fullback. Wigan now have three possible fullbacks in Phelps, Roberts and Richards who are better.
I don't think Wire have three better centres than Gleeson.

I would say that King, Atkins and Bridge are and have played better than at centre than Gleeson has over a similar period since he left us.
Which of the three do you reckon Gleeson has played better than over that period?
Plus we got £100k and released getting on for another £100k of our salary cap

Monitoring outside for the people inside: |

| Remember that Gleeson said he wanted a move. I wouldn't want any player wearing a wire shirt who didn't want to play for us.

50086_1357229109.jpg [b:33tg3xj5]Me:[/b:33tg3xj5] I'm still reeling from the news that someone is considering watching the 1st and 3rd game on Saturday and NOT watching Warrington play. It's like being in Shea Stadium when the Beatles came to town and deciding to nip out for a fag.
[b:33tg3xj5]knockersbumpMKII:[/b:33tg3xj5] Is it FOOK, you're good but you're not THAT good, jesus you wanky fans need to get over yourselves, Beatles at the Shea in '65 was a once in a lifetime opportunity for some (despite the following years performance), you can watch a very good team in primrose & yellow play every week if you really wanted to but comparing it to one of the very best music groups of all time in an iconic stadia such as the shea is overegging your importance, you're not even the best team in SL atm:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_50086.jpg |

| Chris Riley's try scoring rate is exactly 1 in 2. Don't know how it compares to other wingers in the league but to dismiss him as average, as some might, seems harsh. If we'd picked him up from South Sydney's stiffs for a pittance we'd all be having wet dreams about what a great pick up that was and how great our scouts were. Our pants should even more moist when you consider he's a Warrington born academy/squadbuilder product.

I wouldn't go THAT far but I'd certainly take Bridge as a direct replacement and £100,000. Bridge has that same class about him, better player? probably imho
King's played well but Atkins isn't in the same class as Bridge/Gleeson as a centre

Some truth in that pal. King was not great in his first season and a half never mind 7 games. Give the lad time, he has all the attributes and I trust Smith's judgement.
