I hope Tony Smiths opinion is the same and he continues to play Mathers because imo he just aint good enough to be the regular fullback for a team wanting to challenge for trophies

Considering he's been the regular full back in teams that have won the Challenge Cup and Super League history suggests he might be good enough.

I just feel he makes to many big errors to be in a team wanting to challenge for the top. Aside from that I dont think he poses enough of an attacking threat that the top fullbacks do

Mathers is useless.
Riley is error-prone.
Atkins can't pass.
Bridge is a pi$$-head.
Myler can't organise a pi$$ up in a brewery.
Morley is well past it.
Higham can't pass.
The Andersons are useless.
Westwood is a penalty machine.
Our other kids are useless.

No wonder we are 2nd from bottom.

I think it's going to be Monaghan's turn this week.

indeed, was cack at saints supposedly, and got 2nd in the league express goldthorpe points for our game,


i must admit i was a bit surprised at that though.

i've said already this year, mathers was a breath of fresh air last year when he came in, when you bear in mind the shambles of a situation since grose in 05. But he's been less impressive (not worse, less impressive), as saddened has said though, from a try scoring pov/supporting he's not as dangerous as i feel riley is.

Clarke is back soon, isn't he?

no you couldn't and you're certainly no expert. It was awful conditions, a good bomb kick which wasn't run down to put pressure on the kicker.
Anyone could have dropped it.

When he is not dropping bombs, he is a turnstyle.

i can't believe the garbage im reading. We lost at Saints again, get over it. Players make mistakes in wet weather (yes even Billy Slater has been known to knock on) and until we create the full back robot i'm happy with Richie or Riley. Why not give credit to the kicker, i remember years ago GB first choice full back Graham Steadman used to have a mare every time Jiffy Davies hoisted the bomb as it was unplayable. Did that make him a bad player or is Davies a great kicker?

Totally agree with you here mate. Utter crap being spouted.

Paul Wellens wouldn't have made those mistakes. In fact, he took one amazing ball when he slid across the ground just after he'd been clattered. Best defensive full back in Super League still.

no chance, dream on, was., a long time ago.

He is positianally just so bad.

Didn't Riley knock on and gift a try to Bradford and make a mistake against Saints leading to a try? Give Mathers a break or at least pretend he is Warringtonian by birth.
