Mathers is a lad without any confidence. However the booing of him prior to the game was pathetic.

That being said, time has to be called on him. Roberts to FB with Goulding back in next week. Or even Bailey to centre. I dont care for those who want attacking rugby, we need a defence first.

Didn't notice any?

Even if there was I think today proved it was completely justified. He was hopeless last season, yet we extend his contract?

Proved a good move so far from Noble and Lenegan.

I think that was aimed at the decision to put him on the pitch not him personally

Mathers
Coley
Bailey

3 players who continue to be a waste a space week in week out, why should anyone be suprised by the standards witnessed today i'll never know.

As Noble stated, players will be picked on form this season. I fully expect these three to be missing from the Hull game next week.

All 3 were and are truely awful and shouldn't be anywhere near the side next week. Nobles team selection today was woeful and his unwillingness to ick anybody who's not below the age of 25 or foreign is a shambles.

Mathers jas no bottle whatsoever and doesn't want to command the situation like a fullback should. To think i had pipe dreams that we may see a Richards style comeback from him

where re all these people saying he needs his chance now?

he's had his chance, he can f*ck off.

no doubt him, phelps, bailey, coley will all be in the team next week when goulding, ainscough, mossop and prescott deserve their place more than them.

Woeful today.

Wakey kick upfield and if Mathers isnt directly under it, then he lets it bounce.

For once we arent short of backs, Mathers needs dropping.

I dont think its a stretch to say he will be.
