[quote='Fishsta"']I've always thought of McGuire as a good player, and I wouldn't normally wish injury on any player, but there was a certain hint of poetic justice to that. [/quote] Another classic: [quote='Fishsta']You forgot to take off the "Saints Reduction Factor" when calculating the ban. Standard suspension / Saints Reduction Factor = Actual ban for Saints player. Therefore (2 / 3) = 0.666 0.666 < 1 therefore actual ban equals "less than 1 match". Therefore ZERO.[/quote] Give the girl her dummy back.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_18821.jpg



Quote: Saddened! "How long can you put up with him when you have a player like Riley sat filling in the holes whenever someone is injured? Riley is a better player in every sense. He tackles better, his positioning his better, his attacking is better. Mathers contributed absolutely nothing to Warrington tonight. Why not throw him on the wing and let Riley control the more important fullback slot? Mathers cost you the game tonight.

His stats would read something like.'"

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

Is that the ghost of Brian Bevan I see weeping ?:



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.

[quote="Frank Zappa":1sacjrvf]Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.[/quote:1sacjrvf] [quote="The_Enforcer":1sacjrvf]Most idiotic post ever goes to Grimmy..... The way to restart should be an arm wrestle between a designated player from each side.[/quote:1sacjrvf]:



Quote: Nat Wood's Hotdog "He drops one ball in the match and suddenly people are on his case. Give him a chance without getting on his back constanly like Wigan did. Hes not gonna play well if everybody bashes his confidence down.'"

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?

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

[quote="Saddened!":35bi8yki]Ben Harrison is going to become the best prop England have over the next few years. He is a superb prospect, better than most in SL already.[/quote:35bi8yki]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_50630.jpg



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.

We got a decent full back and £100k towards Atkins, who with King has been one of the best centre wing partnerships in Super League - I think that puts us up on the deal. icon_wink.gif

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!
