Should not have had his contract extended yet Noble did.

Should not have played today after his poor showings in the friendlies yet he did.


Can you spot the pattern here?

Mathers takes Matt King's head of last year and the whole rugby community pleaded "He's not that kind of player"

Pathetic, he's had more yellow that the Arsenal away shirt.

I think Richie Mathers deserves a knighthood!

As expected Riddell knackered after 15 minutes too.

Mathers is the only guy in SL that makes Wellens look like Bolt

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.

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 Do Too Badly For The Mighty Leeds Rhinos...

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

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.

riddell knackerd best 9 in the sl miles better than higham ,passin tackeling and getting them round the pitch ,ow he couldnt get his self round the pitch you mean cos he fat and lazy ,no carnt be

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

, Wouldn't have selected him this week, definitely wouldn't select him next week!

After millennium magic he should never have played for wigan again

after today he should never play rugby league again

It's getting to the point when a ball goes near him i cant look

The guy cant catch a cold and he cant tackle a happy meal

I thought a deliberate trip was a red card? It was that bad he took the touch judge out as well.

Riddell can

No, a trip hasn't been an auomatic sending off for years now. It is just down to the ref to decide, just like it is for high tackles.

That was before he damaged both cruciate ligaments - never been the same player since

Same here. I pretty much closed my eyes on every Wakey kick, and every time they came down our right hand side (tho thats a different story).

finaly some 1 elses notice what i do an did today an if were going of performance RIDDEL WAS GASH,LOCKERS WAS GASH ,PHELPS GASH ..... ONLY TOMMY WAS O.K WHEN HE WAS PLAYING LIKE HIGHAM HOCK WAS OK ,AN FEKA HIS USUALL SELF I COULD GO ON AN ON
