| Quote ="FickleFingerOfFate"So that would put Fuifui Moimoi in the 'short sell by date' section and not worth bothering with then?'"
Fuifui Moimoi is like a pack of Oreo's. The ones that are £1.35 a pack and you always look a them and go no thanks. Then suddenly Tesco's put them at the front of the shop as you enter with a big display and cut the price to 50p. You know you have to have one and then wander round the supermarket with your head saying "go get more, it's too good to resist". So you do and go get another 6 and feel dignified that you have bought a legendary biscuit for way below its market value.

Unless the wrapping looks the part but when you get home, the contents are not what they should be and are broken biscuits.

Moimoi ain't a broken biscuit. The Eels have just found some cheaper tea bags elsewhere that taste similar, despite their fans loving the old tea bags that have tasted lovely for the past 200 cups.

| I think Mathers has made a good move to London.
He'll be their leader on the field and will be a good speaker off it.
They'll need some experience and he will give them that with a good attack too.

I don't think he meant loyalty in that sense - he meant a player who was happy to be here and liked it in which case they tend to play well - all players can have their heads turned that's true.

| Quote ="Roonaldo6"I suppose its just like life.
You like Tesco Tea Bags and they are £1.99 a box.
You see Aldi has some Tea Bags on offer for £1.25 a box. You try one and realise they are pretty much the same product.
You realise you can save 74p a week on your weekly shop which means you can now afford that bar of chocolate for the kids as well that they have been asking for ages. You are sad to no longer shop at Tesco for those tea bags but realise to get that chocolate bar, its a no brainer to go and get some Aldi Tea Bags.
For those that can't understand my scenario.
Tesco Tea Bags = Mathers
Aldi Tea Bags = His replacement
Chocolate bar for the kids = Tim Smith (we hope).'"
I prefer the home buy brands

Personally I rated Blaymire, Halpenny and Prescott as better both defensively and attacking. In my opinion Blaymire was a similar player to Mathers in that he scored a fair few supporting the man with the ball - however he made way less mistakes and tackled much better, but it's just my opinion.'"
In his first 2 seasons especially I thought Blaymire was excellent

Who would be your choice for full back now?

| I hope we aren't relying on Sammutt because I thought he had a mare at fullback last week, a natural in the halves but never a fullback.

| Don't think anyone has mentioned this but Mathers wage has been subsidised by our friends in Cas for the last two years as far as I recall. I imagine with all that's gone on in recent years that without that subsidy his wage will probably be way out of proportion with what he is actually worth in the current wage structure - no matter whether you rate him or not. Money way better spent elsewhere and far less likely to upset the players applecart. Can't blame Mathers for not taking a substantial cut if London can make up the difference.

| I wish Mathers all the best. It's nice he wanted to stay rather than couldn't get out of the place quick enough. It's sad for him that he couldn't stay. It's tough having lowest budget in the league and also being a coach in general. With all the best will in the world you can make poor choices or make good ones that don't end up going in your favour. Mathers has a family, wtw have a budget and you have to fashion a squad within the limits. I'm glad tough choices are being made rather than stretching it and it going financially belly up. If I had the budget Webster had I would make different choices to him as would Michael. Just like when you pick a fantasy side from the paper. But it's Websters job to make these tough decisions. He's not done too bad so far.
I will miss Mathers positivity, team spirit, quick scoots amongst other things. Maybe not his one on one tackling or occasional brain bottom burps.
I may be wrong but there will be Hall, Sammutt, Jowitt, Owen who can play full back. My preference being Hall. Looking forward to seeing him in action.
All the best Richie, you've enhanced the team and certainly been popular with your team mates. A new chapter for you and your family! Good Luck..

| Hall is a good player but he is just as prone to a cock up as Mathers if not more so. In his last game for Hull KR there he was directly responsible for two opposition tries due to his handling errors. If we go with him there it would be a big risk.
