Trout re-lived the nightmare of last seasons game at Headingley where he looked certain to score then froze.

I agree. Perhaps Mathers needs to teach them, as for the last few weeks he has successfully caught high bombs whilst under a lot of pressure (I was expecting him to drop it last night).

You could throw in Danny Kirmond and Tim Smith, And we still wouldn't want him

Agar has never liked Mariano, in spite of numerous good pefomances from the games I've seen. His judgement of players is suspect.

To be fair, we have Tuson coming, who is a far superior player IMO.

We made him an offer didn't we? Lost much better than Frankie in the past and hardly a word uttered. Get over it already.

The reason Frankie is going is because he thinks he's worth more than what we offered and agar told him to prove it. Cas called his bluff offering more money but a short time scale offer. Who knows perhaps if he had the HEART to take a gamble and prove his worth he may have got more. He didn't and we've got a better player coming in in Tuson. Mariano is great runnning at weak teams. Once it gets rough and tough he's off like a shot. Catalans and hull away being pee examples. I'd he had the effort and heart of such as kirmo he'd be devastating and better teams than Cas would be in for him.

But yet he made him an offer. His judgement seem fine to me, obviously no Coach in the world is going to get everything right but Agar imo does get far more right then wrong.

Like what has already been said we have a better player coming anyway in Tuson.

I'd have liked him to stay but he choose not wait & prove he was worth the money he was asking and decided to take more money but only a one year deal that Cas were offering. He could have probably got a longer better deal, if he had decided to show Agar that he was worth it but I bet this is what Agar thought he would do, take the easy root.

like most on here ive only seen tuson looking useful in a very good wigan side,now im not a Frankie worshiper but saw him as a player with potential and im certain hed have looked just as useful playing in that wigan side,but folk have already made their minds up who the better player is , I think im gonna wait and see how he does in our envirement when you don't find it easy most games and have to roll your sleeves up and take the hard knocks

I think Tuson is a good player and i reckon he's the right type of player for this club and i welcome him.

Thing is if the signing had been touted 6 months ago many on here would have said " Tuson" who's he then, now all of a sudden he's a better player.

Talk about blowing with the wind.

Must admit I've only been aware of Tuson since his loan spell at Cas a while back. You know how it is, you want them to be crap.
He has come more to the fore in the recent depleted Wigan team.
Don't really see him as a replacement for Mariano though.

I knew that Tuson would be a decent player from his loan spell at Cas as they would like to have kept him at the time. Also there was another Wigan player on loan to KR at same time and he didn't turn out too bad either.
