That's bizarre, calderwood was never a player who required on being fed by a centre to score trys, most of his coming from kick chases and tap re-starts.

i mean, he played outside chev walker FFS.

It will be difficult to get another centre now unless we are prepared to splash the cash. Everyone will be under contract.

I bet there is now some frantic ringing around players agents going on!

you'd like to think nrl, where they seem to be quite happy at releasing players early to pick up the $$$ over here. Can't think of many actual centres that i'd splash the cash on to get over here mid season other than the usual obvious targets.

plenty of people keep saying (esp pie eaters) mathers is rubbish etc.

but to be fair, our onfield performance, for me, is still in a crisis, despite the last 2 superleague wins i don't think we are anywhere near good enough yet even if a big injection of confidence was put into the current team and so mathers may not take us to dizzy heights but i reckon he'll be a decent short term gain for us and if he does find some of his old form then even better we've got a top player

I'm not quite sure whether he is happy to be there or not: www.wiganwarriors.com/news_full.asp?newsid=4666

I bet Noble's happy that he got shut of Mathers.

3 and 1/2 year contract at the age of 29 is a good deal for any player, especially as he'll be on top dollar for his last chance to 'earn big', so I'm sure he's happy despite the grimacing features.

Adjusted to be more accurate.

wonder what mather's photo will look like.

So he joins that select group of players to have played for Warrington, Wigan and Saints then.

32 when his contract finishes, sounds like a good deal for both parties.

PS

I really do Hope mathers gets a fair crack of the whip from you lot because he never got it at Wigan from most of the fans.

He wasn't particularly good but he wasn't THAT BAD either, some of the fans got their teeth into him early and wouldn't let go!
He was never going to turn that round with most of the Wigan Speccies so it's a good move for him as well !

"It will be an honour to wear the famous cherry and white shirt. I decided some time ago that if I left the Wolves to play for any other Club in Super League then it would probably only be my hometown club. As this opportunity has now come up I’m delighted to take it. The Warriors have an exciting future and I’m really looking forward to being part of that."


Yeah right. After I had realised that I wasn't good enough for the NRL and nobody was interested anyway.

shame to see him go top player enjoyed watching him

Good move for both parties.

Wigan desperatly need a strike player and Warrington could do with a ...water carrier.

Brilliant.

what are Kings thoughts on Mathers joining wolves?

Thought his contract was only up at Wire in 2010?

Same old same old..good riddance for mine.

Ouch!

Speaks volumes, TS obviously isn't taking any passengers with him going forward.
Good on him.

Exactly, he won't be missed.

What a waste of a prodigious talent he has been.

And the Gleeson-bashing begins....

It was fairly common knowledge that he REALLY wanted a stint in the NRL after the end of this season.

That last paragraph has got to sting!
