Time will tell whether Mathes has a point. Let's see what other teams say about it. The biggest thing will be Widnes' injury record I think. Thats a truer test of that pitch.

The way some have been complaining you would think that Widnes players are immune and they will not suffer the same injuries as anyone else. Not taking into account that they play on it every other week and train on it all the time.

Apparantley only one player complained from the Widnes - Wakefield game. Wakefield did NOT make an official complaint about the pitch and the RFL commissioner did not see any reason to mention the pitch in his report. It was on sky sports news about it last night.

Dennis Betts said something like there had been 4 training sessions on it since Friday night with no problems. Andy Farrell was asked about it too and he said it all part of the game and he seen a lot worse in winter rugby.

Steffan Marsh described it as 'not the best' on twitter but then who's pitch is at this time of year?

Grazes and the like are hardly worth mentioning as that happens on any pitch in the world. The problem Widnes will face is when somebody gets a serious leg injury on that pitch. Again they happen anywhere but you can bet your life it'll be blamed on the pitch!

As for Mathers he's better at expressing his feeling wheather that be back slapping, wooping or moaning then he is at playing rugby league!

the big jessie!

Andy Farrell told Sky he used to end up with a hell of a lot worse than grazed knees from all the sawdust they put on pitches during the winter era.

Mathers pictures where of his carpet burns, nowt do with anything he did on Friday at widnes

Pitty the ipitch doesn't have a twitter account, probably go something like:

"Just had Richie Mathers running around on me, can't catch, can't tackle, but hell he can whinge. LOL"

I wonder what Thomas Coyle's tweet would have been if he had an account.

I dont get this his team won why complain? I didnt see the game but I imagine he had a bad game being Mathers so is he just doing the equivalent of blaming his tools? He would moan about his boots too but he gets them for free it seems reading his twitter in the past he annoys me too much so I deleted him.

He is one miserable git haha

I've spoke to the match commissioner since and he told me there's nothing wrong with the pitch.

Its not like players ever break their legs on a grass pitch is it?

Never mind the ipitch , that was nothing compared to playing on Salfords ice-pitch, take a look at this rlhttp://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/rugby_league/4112085/Matty-kneeds-help.htmlrl

He has got a Twitter account. And if you didn't know, the pitch had nothing to do with him breaking his leg. It came after making a break and someone falling on it.
