So to be considered acceptable to some of you he needs to score 4 trys every game. I think you will find that all full backs play hot and cold it is just the nature of the position.

I have been disappointed with Mathers performance of late because for all his defensive frailties, you could rely on him to score a try or two but this seemed to be missing from his game lately also.
You can only score against what's in front of you and he has done it in style today.
Hopefully now the team is growing and getting better as the pitches harden up, Mathers defensive woes will not be as noticeable, as I think he will start to score more often behind a team that is on the front foot.
I maybe contradicting myself from a few weeks ago about Mathers but after all, I am a RL fan!

Like I have stated in my other posts not a fan of Mathers, but today he sounded like he played well. If he can play half as good every week then i'll be happy.

No one said that. Stop being so daft. I appluad Richie for a good game today but one swallow doesn't make a summer. Over a large period of games he doesn't show enough in attack or defence in my opinion. That said, his go forward inside our half is good. I do recognise he has positive attributes - he's a pro rugby player so he should at least have some attributes.

Exactly and he can now be judged on is next game like all the squad.

Been snooping on the Saints boards and seems they have a few injuries. Walsh, Soliola. Should be a good game, forward battle.

Best way to answer your critics RM.
Pleased for him.

He doesn't blow hot and cold in my opinion he's cold all the time,let's see where he is next week,the guys scared to death ,had a bet he'd get a hatrick today and a double he wouldntk make a tackle against saints

Unbelievable!!!!

OK 60scat tell me why , I'm really interested

Please tell me les goose when our fullbacks done something outstanding please don't say 4tries today mk

He scored 4 trys today and was Cold still. Guess He has to get ten to get luke warm.

Where were You born?

On the Sun?

I second that!!!!

I really hope you are the Troll that that majority of us think you are. If not, you are one very sad little man.

I've said it before you can't educate pork

try scorer - did you go to the game today ? if you did how did Mathers play ?he must have been backing the man with the ball up to get 4 but that don't mean he did something outstanding.I didn't go to the game today working nights and had a breakdown with the truck half way through the shift so also had to wait for breakdown coming out.Saying I didn't go I could not say if Mathers was good or bad unlike the Wigan game as I went and Mathers was quite poor for my money.

Not little ,not a troll someone whose been involved with the game for a lot of years playing coaching and watching ,and find it easy to spot a showman who plays to the gallery but when the going gets tough dissapears

Did you go today simple enough Question.

Not being an obvious expert, like many on here purport to be, I have to rely on our Coach, who earns his living doing things many people on here can only talk about.
He choses RM for every game at fullback.
At the present time I think, so far, both are doing a good job so I'll buck the trend I think and support both!

Yet you always make a pigs ear of it when it comes to player opinions.

Mathers?.... 4 tries?.... He's a load of crap...wouldn't pay him in washers.

Alright le. Goose no but Mr mathers ain't going to improve and I've seen enough to know how the guy plays you don't become brave overnight and it was easy to predict he'd have a decent game with wakey on the front foot I've spoke to folk who've been and nothing they've said changes my opinion know if people come on here next week and tell me about his 4 tries then that's a different matter but somehow I don't think so

As well versed as me to say if Mathers had an outstanding game or not then.Still say he can do something outstanding ie tackle on Hock last season at BV same game let easy scores in.

Mathers probably is a show pony but his CV is pretty good.
Played for some good attack minded teams.
If he continues to pick the tries up, his defence will pick up also.
As someone mentioned, nothing like a bit of confidence to change how you play the game.

I knew this would all kick off with Mathers scoring 4 today.

today I think he found his level where he shows he can compete against a less skilled team, I have no doubt about his ability on his attack skills but I'm still cringing at that Bradford try where he had turned his back and left the door wide open.

so like foxy for every mistake if he can redeem it by scoring then I've no problem.

if you want to see a player who's confidence is down then look at Josh Charnley making a few mistakes him self and look at his score rate
