Never before have I wanted one of our players to get banned. But I really hope he does

Doc Murray > Mathers

Edited.

No balls, can't catch unless it's easy, flaps under pressure, too laid back leaving himself no go forward options as the kick chase defence is then in his face, and positionally he's flawed - everyhting you don't want your full-back to have. He's had long enough now, reserves games or get rid.

People keep saying he needs time to get his confidence, bollox - he's had a full season, and today he served up the same timid e he offered last year ......... how long do people want to give him, he's a risky points haemorrhage machine, one we can't afford either tactically or financially.

He's at Wigan on the back of his reputation after a couple of good seasons at Leeds, and then off to Aus where he got injured - but that was then and what we see today is now....not good enough for Wigan I'm afraid - get shut! & get get Paaat in at FB.

Mathers isn't in the same league as Richards in that position. I'm not doubting his commitment or passion but he's just not good enough.

When he got binned I don't even think they missed him, so what is his contribution to the team - it looks like his only contribution could be that he's just an extra body on the pitch filling a hole, so lets have one there that can actually play.

Think i was the first one on here to note the similarities.....strange how more and more people are now coming to the same conclusion and finally realising this guy is gash!!!

can we not tempt rads out of retirement again.....hed be 10 times the player mathers is now even without match fittness and being about 35

Well to be honest he wasn't that great defensively today. Easy tries down the right, and a few near misses.

The kung fu kick he used to assault Halley was damn dangerous

What is odd is that Roberts has been running at FB in training.

I hope he gets banned for at least 10 games!

Ive defended Mathers for too long.


Close the door on the way out Richie....

More like a permanant ban!

You mean the orange one?

As somebody who has contributed to the Mathers bagging after today, I look at a few posts and think they are fully justified but feel slightly sorry for Mathers...At the end of the day, he doesn't select himself. Alot of flack needs to go towards Brian Noble for selecting him. I'm actually very pro-Noble but completely disagree with his fullback selection.
