Completely agree with you. How it's taken people this long to realise I don't know. The man is gutless. Not only gutless but slower than a prop. Not to mention his handling is questionable for a full-back.

It's not that people haven't noticed, more so the alternatives are even worse. Still think the club should've gone for Greyston when he came back from Aus. Hopefully the young lad Jowett will get a chance in the championship next season, once Agar has left of course.

And who do you think will want him Fergus he'll have to drop at least two divisions could possibly make a new start in national conference ,you talk as if he's a pensioner sorry if I don't show him respect or sympathy in my opinion he's pinched money for the last two season all his other clubs taken in by his early days at Leeds soon saw his failings and got rid alas his time at Wakefield as been cushy ,picked after poor displays defended by folk on here with cries who could we afford better suddenly were trying different fullbacks I despair that the man in charge couldn't see it coming

I am too polite and generous try scorer - yep maybe you are right, where else would he go in Super League???
Wouldn't it be nice to see a fullback who 'buzzed' everytime the ball came his way. Cockayne had his faults but he was always up for it when he had the ball in his hands - shame he didn't stay and Mathers go. Ah well.....onwards and upwards???

Going to go with a different slant on Mathers.
He was signed by RA, given the VC, so that puts him in the domestic signing untouchable bracket along with Lyne and Washbrook.
Maybe he has used his role as VC to question the coaching ability of our coach after progress was being made?
For that he has been banished!

I just don't get the problem people have with Mathers, its bordering on obsession with some folk
I'm not aware of any better FBs we've had in the SL era?!?
He's our VC, get behind the man for goodness sake!!!! getting sick of hearing it

Prescott
Halpenny

There's two imo

Holland,
Blaymire in his first season at the club.

If that's your view musson old lad I'm sorry but I for one can't respect it

IMO Mathers has always been a "pillar to post" player, never thrilling or enthusiastic rugby from him whether at Leeds, Castleford or any other of the 7 or so teams hes played for.

I say good riddance if rumors are true.

Denis Betts must be off his rocker.

Eh?

Think he is talking about a Mathers to Widnes rumour that is going round. It would surprise me greatly as Hanbury is a much better fullback than Mathers. And Richies love for the plastic pitch is well known.

Yes - I thought that myself when I heard the rumour. I would imagine Halifax as the more likely destination.

Do some of you actually believe what you write or are you so obsessed that you allow your personal feelings to cloud reality. If we released Mathers who would we play in his place. Sykes no you don't like him, Sammut no you think he is wasted at full back so who, some teenager out of the under 19's. I wait your usual rabid and ill thought opinions.
