well wide of the mark forrard, i have been a cas fan for over 40 years. my point was that we are leaking 30+ points per match and mathers is an experienced full back. should we not have kept the option of a recll?. if as is suggested ian did not have plans for him, what happens if ian doesn't last for whatever reason. a new coach should be given all the tools available and to be able to make his own mind up as ian did. i think we all suspect that in 3 games against the wildcats mathers is going to do something that will make us regret this decision.

I agree with that. He made his mistakes but so does everyone (including at the moment the whole of the current squad!!)

It was the first time in years we've had a specialist full back, I would have liked to have seen Millward mould him in to a Paul Wellens type player - he had the potential

Never thought Mathers played his best for us, and obviously Millward didn't fancy him. Our loss is definitely Trin's gain.

Mathers replied to my question and he said that he was going to continue to work his ars£ off in order to persuade Agar to buy him out of his contract with Cas

would take Mathers back anyday with how Owen is playing, I always thought Mathers gave 100% and was always steady and played well if the whole team played shocking,
