Terrible decision to let him go. We are a much more structured side with Richie at the back. The wheels always seem to come off when he isn't playing.

Maybe Hall will get the #1 next year but I aren't sure how good his organizing skills are.

Good luck Richie

Jordan Tansey could well look good in Red White and Blue next year.

No he wouldn't and won't!

A great move for him that and good timing with Anthony Minichiello retiring

Won't be Catalans I can assure you of that.

Although he hasn’t helped himself with his ambling when chasing a kick through, I hope the full back play from the first half on Sunday highlighted what we’ve got/had with Mathers. Yes he seems to back out of tackles and time his arrival just as the opposition scores a try, but he’s the best full back at the club and arguably the best full back Trinity have had in SL. He will be difficult to replace.

Not unhappy, better available for less IMO.

Whos that then Vastman that's better and available ?

My guess If Owen has signed hes fullback cover and wing. The replacement could be Curtis Naughton ex bulls lad who went to oz but coming back appatently. Mathers going to bulls is probably not correct as they have signed mullaney as their fullback. Would like Kear though.

Sorry to hear Mathers is leaving. He undoubtedly loved it here and his passion shone through.

I think he is a much better full back than Sammut and feel our defence is better organised with him at FB.

Yes he's had a fair few brain farts and his tackling is questionable. However he proved effective going forward, linked well and had good pace. There is no doubt he knows how to score a try.

This season we had Sammut covering FB, last year Lee Smith. I think on each occasion we missed Mathers.

I'm not sure on the plan for the future. I certainly don't think Eden would be an improvement. I would be fearful everytime he is involved in the game.

We have options in the current squad with Jowitt (not made his debut yet has he?), Sammut and Owen (who I don't think has played FB for us yet) and next year Hall (a possible option).

All the best Richie and thanks for the memories.

Richies take on things...
