For him to sit and collect a wage and be a bit part player I suppose it seems the contract he’s on must have some good monetary value to it. Shame it just hasn’t worked so far.
I disagree with you on this look at the games he's started second row different class there if he regains the form he had before the first lockdown then we'll be in for a treat if him and edwards work well together he isn't lazy at all hes brilliant in defence to back my point up i'll use the wire playoff game a couple of years ago he won us that game with his outstanding defence solid player and his heart is in cas and it has worked it showed against fc that we were missing him
I'd agree with you on his defence it's genarly good ...often looks to me like hed rarther be anywhere else other than on the field playing for Cas
A bit generous saying he's been class in the back row @Pricey2000. He's not had any games where I've thought he's been really bad, although he has coasted through a fair few, he's also not had any where I've thought wow, there's the ex Melbourne centre we signed.

If we could get him off the books and use the quota spot and wages on someone else, then I wouldn't be upset.

Lacks the enthusiasm and Vocality on the pitch. Just haven't seen a spark from him. Pity he doesn't have Jesse's get up and go. If they were both out of contract at the same time, I know which one I'd keep.

Still, he's a Cas player and I'm hoping he comes back injury free and ready to put a marker down. Radford won't allow anything less and I'm loving that.

one of those aussie imports you look at and wonder how he ever held down a place in a top NRL side.

Hopefully his 6 week trip back home will make the prospect of a bleak pre-season and Christmas away from the family too much to bear and he’ll stay where he is.

He’s to isolate for 2 weeks so will be only getting 4 weeks with the family.
Unless cas have said he can come back to pre season a bit later.

Nah, he’s been provided with a golf set, were he hits balls in to a hole.

We gave him a long contract too, didn’t mean he could break a tackle unfortunately

Bit off topic but just sticking up for big Will. Just done an outstanding first stint for Hull kr in a playoff game. Strong carries and just as strong in defence. Sometimes these young kids just need an arm round them and give them some confidence and game time.Obviously the much decorated Tony Smith sees more in him than you Alf.

It’s a very good point IMHO. At Times a player just needs to be loved in order to bring out their best attributes! At the end of the day WM still has a chance of grand final glory. We don’t. Crafty old coach is Tony Smith.

Wherever it goes.. I've met Matagi.. says he's signed for saints next year. Not at Cas. Gutting tbh thought he'd do really well in cas colours

To clarify he said it wasn't up to him. Wrong decision by Cas for me

Will Maher turning out to be the forward we thought he could be. Perhaps Cheyse Blair will next season, turn out to be the player he used to be. I myself think he seems to be homesick. I worked away for a couple of years, missed family greatly, thought at time I was doing the right thing to give them a better living financially. WRONG.

Played injured did maher at cas. He was having problems with his chest and Powell kept telling him to man up as he was being soft. Maher took himself to hospital and he had been playing with a fractured sternum. Great man management by powell

How would you prove such a claim? Especially as, in December 2018, Matty Crowther said:

“Unfortunately, on day one of pre-season Will Maher ruptured his pectoral muscle so he’s going to be out for a while. He needs surgery. He’s never injured is Will, he’s never missed any games through injury it’s just a very unfortunate injury on day one. The fortunate part is that he’ll be back within three months, so it will take him the full pre-season.”

Hardly sounds as uncaring as you suggest…

Tony Smith as done a fantastic job with a number of players like Will Maher... Abdull was a player that continually got rubbished when he was at Hull he's turned into one of best half backs in SL now

Had a few good games but still not super league standard.
