Quote: try scorer "Haven't been on for a while but I'm feeling sick with all the praise heaped on my favorite subject, best attacking fullback we've had in super league how can you say that , if you said slowest fullback id have agreed, best celebrated of a try what an accolade , never misses a game , how could he he never puts his body on the line see how he gets on next season from what I hear he's off down south if he was any good teams up here would want him I'm certain that won't happen ,he's kidded a lot on here I've said the mans a show man but he can't fool me know I'm gonna get slated but I'm interested to hear veiwspointing out where my opinions are wrong'"

'That is why no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party.... So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin':23909.gif



Quote: vastman "In your opinion!

Personally I rated Blaymire, Halpenny and Prescott as better both defensively and attacking. In my opinion Blaymire was a similar player to Mathers in that he scored a fair few supporting the man with the ball - however he made way less mistakes and tackled much better, but it's just my opinion.'"


In his first 2 seasons especially I thought Blaymire was excellent

Who would be your choice for full back now?

This may come back to haunt me, but Craig Hall for me would be an improvement on RM.

I hope we aren't relying on Sammutt because I thought he had a mare at fullback last week, a natural in the halves but never a fullback.

Don't think anyone has mentioned this but Mathers wage has been subsidised by our friends in Cas for the last two years as far as I recall. I imagine with all that's gone on in recent years that without that subsidy his wage will probably be way out of proportion with what he is actually worth in the current wage structure - no matter whether you rate him or not. Money way better spent elsewhere and far less likely to upset the players applecart. Can't blame Mathers for not taking a substantial cut if London can make up the difference.

Calm Waters don't make good sailors If you help somebody as you go along then your life hasn't been in vain:



I wish Mathers all the best. It's nice he wanted to stay rather than couldn't get out of the place quick enough. It's sad for him that he couldn't stay. It's tough having lowest budget in the league and also being a coach in general. With all the best will in the world you can make poor choices or make good ones that don't end up going in your favour. Mathers has a family, wtw have a budget and you have to fashion a squad within the limits. I'm glad tough choices are being made rather than stretching it and it going financially belly up. If I had the budget Webster had I would make different choices to him as would Michael. Just like when you pick a fantasy side from the paper. But it's Websters job to make these tough decisions. He's not done too bad so far.

I will miss Mathers positivity, team spirit, quick scoots amongst other things. Maybe not his one on one tackling or occasional brain bottom burps.

I may be wrong but there will be Hall, Sammutt, Jowitt, Owen who can play full back. My preference being Hall. Looking forward to seeing him in action.

All the best Richie, you've enhanced the team and certainly been popular with your team mates. A new chapter for you and your family! Good Luck..

Hall is a good player but he is just as prone to a cock up as Mathers if not more so. In his last game for Hull KR there he was directly responsible for two opposition tries due to his handling errors. If we go with him there it would be a big risk.
