| 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.

| 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!

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?'"
Being honest I'm rather confident with Mathers under a high ball. I think that the kicks from Saints would have been difficult for anyone to take.
And it doesn't mean im proud of it, I just thought it was kind of funny. If Tomkins doesn't want to get squared up to then maybe he shouldnt be such a niggly ?

| I must say he doesn't fill me with confidence, he has at least one brain blank per match, usually drops one high kick and if it's a grubber he's reaching for it like a virgin for a large penis. I'm 66 and partly disabled but I could pick some of the balls as quick as him. Admitted I'd probably fall over, but I do think he is a liability think I would prefer Riley. Albeit I am usually wrong cos 2 seasons back I thought Riley had as much chance in super league as my granddaughter. So I'm no expert,

| Watched the trys on sky last night, ok Mathers dropped one that Saints scored from, but Riley also knocked on in the in goal area from which Wilkin scored, so neither is exactly blameless

Exactly.
Gardner made errors too, but when you win they get swept under the carpet somewhat.
The 'Wilkin Try', the more I see it, the more I question the grounding.

Seem to remember it was Tomkins who started it by acting like a little kid, King finished it about 90 secs later.

He's a half back, and how can you say that when you've got Briers in your side lol.
