What can Mathers do better than Riley when it comes to fullback?

Seriously, based on what I've seen of both players, Riley is far superior in that position.

That will be your defence mechanism kicking in to prevent you from believing that Mathers may turn out to good signing for Wire and actually improve a position that we needed to strengthen, thus allowing Riley to return to the wing.

Typical Wiggin tactic.

Riley has made more errors in Super League this year than any other player. I like the things he does in attack but reckon as a last line of defence, we could do better.

I know Wigan fans aren't going to change their opinion of Mathers, but wait until he's had an injury free run working under a coach who has a proven record working with him.

Micky Higham was best, petitions and protest's went around the JJB in order to keep him, when he signed for us all of a sudden he was bad at tackling and a penalty machine.
