Impressed with Mathers today, supported the ball carrier well for his two tries, pretty solid in defence and although he was never really tested under the high ball i prefer him at Full-Back than Riley. He directed the troops around the park and was very vocal in telling players were they needed to be, starting team next week for me at Full-Back.

[quote="SPIRIT OF 74"]Or maybe we can release Penny and bring in a new winger and use Riley as a squad player like he is as imo he isn't good enough if you want to win things at the top he is too slight of frame and build to have an impact at FB or winger imo !
I thought we had got rid of the misgiven loyalties when we binned Cullen please lets not go back to well he is from Warrington so he is good enough era ![/quote]

I just cannot believe your comments Mathers is no bigger than Riley...and size has little to do with it...Have you watched Hodges the AUSSIE fb playing for Huddersfield, there top try scorer and he's really Big!!!Isn't he...Lets get real...If u are commenting on how you think he plays fine..But size!! Its not about who is from where. It appears to me...that you are quick to knock a player who imo, has done well for Warrington in the last few games and has scored some great trys......being homegrown a bonus

Weren't we all saying a few weeks ago that Riley ain't a fullback whatever else he is.....so now Mathers is the answer. Maybe Riley could play on one of the wings.

No, we weren't.

I wouldn't read to much into this personally, Mathers positions are one and six. Riley's are one and two/five. Riley was a better fit on the wing for the good of the team. That simple.

He was ecstatic with his tries looks as though he really wants to play for us..Good sign ...

I think he should start for the next 2 matches at least.

Obviously someone who didn't see him play today.

Mathers played well, but he still has a lot of work to do convince me that he doesn't go missing when the going gets tough. Riley is a better fullback than winger and doesn't deserve to lose his place.

Nice to have options, however.

I dont get this idea that Mathers is a 6. I dont ever recall him playing there at Leeds, nor at Wigan. I dont know what he did in Aus but I just dont get where this idea of him being a 6 has come from?
