Once the RFL have had a look at the video could he not get a ban???

Hopefully.

You seem defensive. Are you normally so insecure?

If you're idea of an entertaining enjoyable rugby league game is 2 points irrespective then cheerio.

I prefer a game played within the rules and if my own team are not penalised for such incriminations I am man enough to admit to feeling that the referee is bad. No sing. Plain bad.

At no point did I suggest or even infer that the referee "was biased against us today" as your reply so eloquently and somewhat randomly purports.

Like I said, I am not blaimg the ref for the result. I blame him for his inability to referee.

Did he apologise after it?

On the pitch no. Probably too embarassed to apologise at the time cos it was truly shocking. He may have apologised in the bar afterwards I suppose but I wasn't there.

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.

It said it all in the second half when the crowd spontaneously cheered when he caught the ball.

More fool you. How can you be pro of someone whos not changed his tactics in his professional coaching career?

Brian Noble should carry a RFL health warning

Playing under this coach can seriously damage your career

I agree.

It does no good hounding a particular player, apart from ease the frustration of the poster.

That's not a good enough reason as far as I'm concerned.

Must admit I did feel sorry for him today when it was announced over the tannoy that he was returning from the bin, to a big load of boo's



basically meaning fans would rather us play with 12 men than have him in the team

I thought the booing was for something else that was happening during the game at that time, even so he must have thought it was for him.

The ironic cheers when he did cach a couple of balls must have been awful for him. However, I struggle to find anything good about his game other than his cheerleading enthusiasm.

Agree with all of that.
