Never going to get a real shot is he
Hodgson off to Wire next year, can't see space for Mathers there
Have to feel sorry for him

well no, hes a bad player he doesnt deserve the wire NO.1 shirt any way, i would have had riley at full back with king and hicks on the wing

He's been given a fair shot, but Smith knows like the rest of us that he simply isnt good enough for a top half team...

Frankly, who gives a toss.

I used to feel sorry for Mathers for all the poop he took from sections of our fans. He always gave it all he had.

However some of the rubbish he has spouted since he has been at wire, including the up yours to Wigan fans, the constant dummy spitting on Twitter and his spouting off in the press. Have led me to think HA HA.

He is a nobody pure and simple

Hang on, i thought Warrington supporters thought Mathers was the best thing since sliced bread?

Paying Warrington that money to take Mathers off our hands was fantastic business.

...Getting Gleeson was a bonus.

Only the stupidist one-eyed fan would think that the deal was anything less than fantastic business for all concerned. We got a full-back and £100k for a centre who had no desire to be at our club since the day he was signed; Wigan got rid of a player who was simply the wrong player in the wrong club; Martin Gleeson got to play for his home town club (and some would argue away from the new disciplined structure Tony Smith brought to the club...); and Richie Mathers got to escape from his Wigan nightmare and play yet again under a coach who knew how he operated. Win Win all round.

As it turns out things maybe haven't worked out as they could - although he certainly isn't the disastrous player people make out. He wasn't even that bad for you but was on a loser once the fans turned on him (was he seen as a replacement for Radlinkski when he signed? May have contributed to him being on a hiding to nothing); and unfortunately the same is happening at Wire. He's a classic confidence player who has no confidence at the moment...

RichardMathers need I say more....!! all I can do is enjoy everyday left in 2010!

As poor as Mathers is I can't understand Wire signing a 32 year old on a two year deal.

Not sure on that one because Hodgson is top draw tbh.

They're looking after the short term as they always seem to do but when you can keep coming up with these amazing bits of salary cap managment why not do that!

If Warrington looking back are satisfied with the inclusion of a 26 year old Mathers as part of the deal then they wouldn't now be going to such lengths to acquire a new 32 year old, short term fullback, would they?

I'm with you on that one...
