I must admit I was happy when he was named fullback. A definite weak link.

The problem with Richie Mathers game is that he's trying to do everything at a hundred miles an hour, his brain seems to be two seconds in front of his body For me all that's required of a fullback is to be secure on to a loose ball and be able to dump the opposition on their backsides in the tackle. Leave all the fancy stuff to the rest of the backs.

Mathers needs a spell in the academy working on the basics, I think too many coaches have got carried away after watching Billy Slater and decided full backs don't need to be able to tackle or catch kicks as long as they score tries.

P.S. Are you really proud of Matt King for squaring up to someone half a foot shorter, three stone lighter and a decade younger? Do you really think he would have the guts to pick on someone his own size?

And to think some of you think you had the better deal swapping him for Gleeson Hes been fantastic for us this season him and Roberts are one of the best centre wing partnerships in Super League, thanks

That game wasn't lost by mathers or any other individual, we lost it as a team the same as we won the last 3 as a team. On the night we wern't good enough. It Happens

we were good enough ,just kicker thats all ,did you not go or something

didnt say our kicking game if you read ,i said kicker for goal ,rugby wise we were good enough simples really

At last someone with common sense

As much as i like and admire Mathers i think we need a world class full back. Don't get me wrong i rate Mathers and you won't hear me slagging him off at every opportunity as sally said he's been the best full back we've had in years but imo a world class full back is what we need. Like a Webb or a Hogdson or a Slater. There's no excuse we've got the funds, as i say i rate Mathers but he isnt 'world class' and for our ambitions and our expectations this year and years to come we need a world class number 1.

Salary cap

If this was facebook, I would definatly be "liking" this thread!!

You may have you 100k, after all, it payed for half of Myler, so your very welcome (I would also "like" the thread on this board knocking him as well)

Mathers isn't good enough, and while he has been better for you than he ever was for us, he is prone to costly mistakes. Hence we got rid of him, still as long as you have 100k!
