If the GF can say something positive surely you can too?

Mathers is a very poor signing, and probably on a relatively big wage too.

He goes missing in physical games, which there will be plenty of in the Champs, he's not really a line-breaker, doesn't have much of a kicking game.

Solid ish full back but im willing to bet there are better full backs already playing in the Champs.

We'll be his 7th club which says everything about him, can do a solid job for a time but really not up to much.

It's a 'name' player but he's not really someone I've ever rated that highly tbh. Been at a lot of clubs (some big ones) but not done much and none of them wanted to keep him around.

Strew th, am gonna find myself agreeing with gutters here, think it's a good signing, he is not quite up there with Sammut but has made mtrs, for wakey scored a few tries, yep his tackle count is not massive.
But a pretty solid player, v experienced, and actually I don't agree that he goes missing, have seen him in a few games getting in the mix.
Good bloke to have in the squad

Surprised we got him. Certainly a player who can organise and lead within a team so I wouldn't be surprised if he is made captain.

Given that it now looks as if we're going to have a decent, competitive team on the park next season, what are we all going to moan about

Think its a good deal for you guys. He can lead the line and will organise . I would have been happier if he stayed at Wakey T B H.

There are suggestions on the Leigh board London have signed Luke Adamson from Halifax. Don't remember seeing it confirmed so file under rumour not fact at the moment.

This is true, as is the signing of Matt Garside from Sheffield and 2 more confirmed signings to my knowledge.
