Mathers is a good squad member and top professional. Sadly, he tends to have these brain farts which blighter his game and the poor lad stands out like an absolute sore thumb at times.

For example, yesterday at Crusaders, Nick Youngquest broke our line from 20 out. Mathers was back in the correct position to deal with it, and where the logical thing to do would be to tackle the man with the ball, he actually (incredibly) ran AWAY from him, and Youngquest ran over without 1 finger laid on him. It really was incredible. I can only think Mathers was thinking Youngquest was about to pass, though there was no one anywhere near him. It was odd to say the least.

cant we have rudder back instead?

Your irrational dislike of Mathers in preference of the lengthy list of Cas overseas failures continues to be disturbing.

Something is only irational if theres no reason for it, the post above yours is one of the many reasons why someone wouldnt want mathers in there team.

Mathers will be a great signing for you he gives 110% in everything he does and helps to boost moral within the team. His positional and organising is good and comes into the attacking line well. I want mathers to stay at warrington but we desperately need a goal kicker which is why we signed hodgson. Im sure some of you saw the kick by briers against leeds were he took a big divot out the pitch and missed 3 from out wide against crusaders. Only problem with mathers is he seems to have lots alot of pace.

Correct on all the above.

The clear fact is, he would be a good addition to a very average Tigers backline, whether certain agenda posters like it or not.

Watching Hodgsons brain fart yesterday also illustrated he is as fallible as any fullback in the world.

Had potential to continue a failing argument.....had he actually played.

Warrington: Riley, Hicks, Bridge, Atkins, King, Briers, Grix, Morley, Monaghan, Wood, L Anderson, Westwood, Harrison.
Replacements: Solomona, Cooper, Carvell, Higham.

Case closed.

The Giants had:

B. Hodgson, Cudjoe, Lolesi, Lawrence, D. Hodgson, Brown, Robinson, D. Griffin, Drew, Mason, Gilmour, Finnigan, Lunt.
Brough, Patrick, Faiumu, Horne


Rangi still danced round them like they weren't even there, don't get too cocky mate. The last 4 teams we played thought we'd be walkovers too.

Wouldn't even get in the Cas team.

I don't care if that isn't the point, it's just good to point out that Warrington and their dream team have 7 players who wouldn't even get a place in a team that doesn't spend close to the cap maximum.
