Now i know im probably gonna get ripped for this, but here goes anyway.

Aside from the loss that left me feeling gutted after a great start. I was really chuffed for mathers tonight. He's a guy who puts 100% in, and we couldnt fault him for his effort at wigan, it just didnt click though.

I thought he was very good tonight, a million miles away from the player he was with us, and wish him the best at warrington. As long as they still lose though.

Played well. Fair ply to the lad.

Thought he should have dealt better with the kick for our try but outside of that he was very solid and withstood some tough tackles on him.

Always liked the way he plays the game and he deserves some luck.

I didn't think there was any need for the Wigan fans to boo him as he ran out i may add.

Op do1 mathers is gash full stop

And in English?

Put his hand up tonight big style & took the ball in many times. Adds a dimension when coming into the line in attack as well.

Guess he is 1 of those players who sometimes needs a new club to kick start his career

Watching as a neutral, I have to say he had a decent game last night although on balance, since he left Leeds there haven't really been too many good performances.

Cracking front line defence from Wire meant that Mathers didn't get exposed the way he was at times here... The way we are defending now, Mathers would have really done a job for us... but then again, the fans had already hounded him out so...

Anyone else notice him calming down Sam Tomkins when he was raging at the ref over a decision? To do that for an opposition player shows leadership and maturity that teams need. Good game from him last night, almost every time he took the ball up, he earned a penalty, and Wigan were on the back foot again. I'm surprised that Nobby allowed schoolboy vendettas to be a part of such an important game.

maybe there was some truth in mathers comments this week when he said he is enjoying being coached....

Who WOOD have believed it?

He had a solid game, fair play to him.

He had a great game, a much improved player already. A change of clubs is the best thing that could of happend for him.

Mathers for England. Wellens out

I was looking forward to seeing him again and was genuinely pleased that he did so well, always wanted him to play like that for us and it was a shame it didn't happen as he seems a good bloke and has a great attitude. Glad his career seems to be back on track.

Still Dont Rate him Give it 5-6 game ~ Tony Smith Out,
Richie mathers out ,
same old typical wire
