Not sure what all the fuss is about? He signed for the club for approx 18 months with the club having an option for a further year. Should they not want to excercise there right to take up the further year then whats the problem? Both party's new the agreement when they entered into the contract!

too add to the confusion i thought briers got it but was announced as mathers so must have popped him to the ball he got 2 overall
mathers(2),myler,Riley,cooper,higham,briers

Mathers scored once when he went in at the corner.

Myler scored the first from his own kick, I was right infront of it.

well everyones gave it mathers bookies will be paying out on mathers so i guess its mathers lol

Three of us in a row came up with three different names - Briers, Myler and Wood. Then they announced Mathers!

It took them a while to annouce it though.

I'm sure Fatbelly will have the photographic evidence.

I'd put put ten grand on it being Myler.

You are Stevo and i claim my £5.

with catalans try it wasn't mathers fault at all he palmed it back and riley and bridge messed up but it was just not good communication and the ball really shouldn't have been allowed to bounce in the first place

Mmmyyyyy mates killing it. The best way to shove up them

Yeah maybe you should try that Karl

I thought it was Myler...

If Richie scored 10 tries in a match, had a kick return of 400 metres per game and picked out balls from the air for fun he'd still have people on his back

I'm pretty sure he wouldn't.

The club are still saying it was Mathers' try www.warringtonwolves.org/wolves- ... agons-3325

Another good game for Mathers today.

Mathers' wife due to give birth very soon.

Get over this obsession that everyone is on his back. He's a decent player, but error prone and ultimately not quite good enough, hence is being replaced. His application and attitude are not in question and nor is his loyalty just his quality.

Hodgson is a vast improvement and you won't see a flurry of top SL clubs looking to recruit Mathers. That is no coincidence either.

Dont chuck the baby out with the bath water thats what i say !!

Listen, no one is averse from criticism but as long as it's fair i don't mind.

If Moz made 10 mistakes and then Briers made 10 and Myler the same yet Richie Mathers made 1, i know for a fact what the 1st topic would be on here.

If it's fair and justified fire away if you feel the need but don't prejudge certain players

Actually I completely disagree. Wire fans will criticise anyone. Briers has had plenty of stick from our fans over the years.

There is no witch-hunt here, most of our players get stick if they make mistakes. King has, Monas did, Clarke does, Higham does, Penny did. This isn't an anti-Mathers thing yet you seem to be making it into an issue.

What I've noticed on here Dave is that a lot of posters on here are like Piranhas, one will bite and the rest come in.
Why is it that we always need a scapegoat ?
Briers and Clarke been out a while so i can see why they've been left alone, Monas was out of position and still gets a little stick when he plays as a half back, Penny still gets stick and as been no where near the 1st team. These have all been fleeting small comments from the odd poster who has a beef with the same player regardless week in week out eg (LWF-Briers, Padders-Penny)
The Mathers bashing though is getting like the Wigan stuff and almost quite unfair and definitely disproportional.

Like i said, criticise away but make it fair and proportionate, but we take it upon ourselves it would seem to just zone in on one player and stick with it. It only seems to stop when people just get fed up or bored.

I'm not covinced tbh. Some fans are pains in the ar$es and not happy unless they are bagging their own players, but I don't think Mathers gets any more than other players who have got stick.
The likes of Penny and King were treated far far worse than Mathers has ever been.

Unfortunately Mathers doesn't really help himself at times. Before the game I was saying to the bloke next to me I feel a touch sorry for him, as I rate him at FB, yet he then struggled with most short kicks, although credit should go to Bosc for the quality of them. Mathers had a very good game, but ultimately, the mistakes could end up quite costly.

The ironic thing here though is that Mathers has made 9 mistakes in 9 games, whereas Hodgson has made 15 in 7, so don't worry they will have somebody else to moan about when he joins us. He also made most errors in SL last season, so he is consistent in this area.

Players come and go and professional sport can be cruel sometimes. Mathers is clearly happy at the HJ and
probably due to his very unhappy spell at Wigan, feels at home here. TS obviously feels Hodgson can do a better job for us and no one is going to argue with him about that. (apart from Richie). Yep, sad to see a committed and whole hearted player leave, (if he does) we've had plenty over the years who've shown little of that, but Richie can be proud of his achievements so far at Warrington.

don't know where all this rubbish came from that I started hodgson rumours I had about 60 people ask me out of the blue.. I haven't cont..

been told anything official, I just replyed to those people who asked me.. as it happened it got released he was leaving hudds on sat...

Obviously got a talking to from Tony today. Rightly so in my opinion. It was his "moody" statuses which fanned the flames, intentionally or unintentionally.
