In his first 2 seasons especially I thought Blaymire was excellent

Our young un isn't ready yet, nor will he be the way my dads' carrying on, cos I'd got an extra round to do with my papers' my dad made our rocky get the coal in cos he was frightened of the neighbours' nicking it, then kicked his arris for not filling the barrow to the top and teking too long.

Tha knows some stuff dickie old lad , mathers to London I've known for a fortnight, mathers as a player I've known for about 3years

You know this is going to go to NGB4C's head

Who would be your choice for full back now?

This may come back to haunt me, but Craig Hall for me would be an improvement on RM.

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.
