New RFL head of player development apparently

Any idea of what this role entails exactly?

Nice to see him back in the game, at any rate.

is that the guy that got batted by keith senior

Yep hit from behind after he scored a try.

Then as I recall Mather leaves the field bust and Senior goes on to score two tries in the game and we go on to lose.

Still a sore point with me that.

Sore point with me too. The sole reason I hate Senior's guts

Also, Steele Retchless scoring in the final seconds against London Broncos in the CC at Headingley

Same here. I was watching the game on telly when I was living in Croydon and my Aresnal supporting flatmate was dumbstruck that Senior didn't get sent off! He had to jump over the linesman to smack him for Christs sake! What a minge he is.

Haha quality!

There is a picture knocking around somewhere of BJ's face just after it happened

… and then win the cup. b'stards.

I stand in the corner of the ground where this happened, and as I remember it BJ jumped up and started a bit of push and shove with Senior, BJ then stuck his chin out as if to say 'go on hit me then', Senior took him up on his offer and flattened him.



I think the moral of this story is ' If you have a glass jaw dont invite 6ft 2" 16st centres to take a free shot at it!'



As far as to why Senior didnt get sent off is anyones guess, perhaps the linesman and referee thought it was BJ's only fault for being such a div?

Barrie Jon Mather dived - FACT

Are you f*king mad? Or just suffering from false memory syndrome?

Eh? Thats more or less how it happened the 20 or 30 feet away from where I was standing. And thanks for enquiring about the current state of my mental health, pleased to say its fine, thanks for asking.

F*cking gutless ref. Was it John Connolly that day who was the dick in the middle ?

It was
