The Wire - It's Time To Believe
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will.
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low, and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with the twists and turns,
AS everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out:
Don't give up through the pace seems slow.
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worse,
that you must not quit.
NOW THE WIRE!:24554.jpg |

I for one, am gutted for the man.
Jack.

I'm not. He's played very well since the Hodgson thing came out, but he was a weak link in our team until that point.
He'll pick himself up, and be number 1 for Hudds/Cas next year. Good luck to him, but I can garauntee he wont be going to a competitor team in the top 5/6 teams.
Good luck to him.

those who are trying to link me not playing this week to turning down a new contract are way off the mark and are no way linked. |

This is exactly the point. Why did it take the signing of Hodgson for him to suddenly show his true form? Any move he next makes will be a backward step, career wise (although maybe not financially). |

Inevitable unfortunately. I for one think this is a backward step for the club. If Rhys Evans/Williams (Ben's a forward...) is going to be hammering the door down for a starting number 1 spot in the next two years it makes no difference if Hodgson or Mathers is FB. Mathers has been excellent in recent months whereas Hodgson has dropped in intensity & form. Great teams go from season to season with very little change (Wigan, Leeds, Saints all have consistency in squads through the years), whereas this just smacks of change for changes sake.
Mathers incidentally comes across in interviews he does as a very smart young man devoted to his wife & daughter and I am sure whether he stays in League or crosses to the dark side he will be doing it with his family at the forefront of his thoughts and for that I applaud him. Good luck Richie & thanks - a fitting send off would be as Harry Sunderland winner in October but for your efforts for Wire in 2 of your 3 spells here, you owe us absolutely nothing.

Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

As you referenced Evans, maybe it is perceived that Hodgson would be a good mentor for him bearing in mind he knows this will be his final contract.
Compare and contrast this to Mathers, who has a comfortable five plus years to play and would be looking to keep the position his own. |

What would you have...
a) Mathers stay, Play a part and be a number 2 too hodgson for 2 years and learn from him. (is he a great)
b) Spit his dummy out and go find a new team...
What strikes me is that we had money in the salary cap too have both hodgson and mathers for the next 2 years...

Sad to see him. Very level headed individual, and could maybe been a good stand off.
Was certainly dedicated and a stabilised.
