A bundle of muscle. Style somewhat akin to Henderson Gill, Brian Carney, Gareth Raynor. Superb at scooting from dummy half.

Amazed to see Mathers done for tripping, he's usually trying to knock peoples heads off!

I was amazed when the RFL had Mathers up for tripping.
Halley made a break down the touch line and kicked past Mathers towards the try line. Mathers came across towards him and put his shoulder into Halley. He went down like a sack of spuds and didn't get up! We all heard the smack of the impact.
The physio came to him and was certainly needed.
It was straight obstruction for me and Mathers saved a certain try by doing it. Hence the sin bin.
Where they got the trip from must be the video which I haven't seen.

Try here, http://www.superleague.co.uk/page.php?id=597Shows the trip quite clearly, suprised it was only yellow, the ref was in a good position and the touch judge was 2 yards away.

It was bizarre re the score. Wigan could have and should have added to their score, Wakey could have added more to their score. It was one of those games that with a video referee the score may have been different still favouring Wakey. I thought they had 1 maybe 2 genuine tries chalked off. It would have been a disgrace but we could have even snatched an undeserved victory.
