Being honest I'm rather confident with Mathers under a high ball. I think that the kicks from Saints would have been difficult for anyone to take.

And it doesn't mean im proud of it, I just thought it was kind of funny. If Tomkins doesn't want to get squared up to then maybe he shouldnt be such a niggly ?

He played well tonight, retrurned the ball hard. Which he always does to be fair.

Can't be botherd starting a new thread on him but Riley was outstanding, his 3 tries aside.

Looked really strong returning the ball last night! Also showed what he can do with the ball for Riley's first, great feet at the line. Isn't the best fullback in the competition, but he is a natural full-back, and the only one we have!

Mathers was very good last night.

Good to see, I'm sure he's aware his performances haven't been great, and he'll be looking to improve as the season goes on.

It was a positive step forward. Everything he did, he did confidently and with a great deal of purpose.

Agreed. Don't know what people expect of him, one bloke behind me said "he doesn't get far does he" He's a fullback not a forward!

That sliding take Riley done was nice, he took some pretty tough kicks very well.
