Always rated Mathers attacking wise, it's when he's under pressure at the back he seems to come up short, best attacking fullback we have had in a while though. I guess he wanted to payback the Castleford faithful for treating him so well while he was there.

I said something similar a few weeks ago after he'd had a 'mare and was getting a lot of stick on here.

Overall, Mathers has been a great signing for us and despite a few wobbles, has added some much-needed experience and professionalism; from what I hear, he's become a real club man and can't do enough in terms of helping the other players.

If he's playing for a contract, he did himself no harm at all today - cracking performance.

Agree, good post.

Agree and also what the Wires man said!

Seen Mathers have games where he would be certain for the england jersey and then others he would struggle to get the barla jersey.He does get the other players going and overall he has been a plus for us.Miss a tackle on the wing or fullback and its more times than not vital to the score miss one in the forwards and more times than not its covered by another player.Would I sign Mathers depends on what he wants but yes as it could be good to help bring a youngster on and who else is out there thats any better available at the moment.What the club has to look at is the player you sign any better than what you already have if no stick as you are.Wakey have in the past sold/let good players go and then brought someone in who is not as good as the one let go and we need to get away from that.Get Mathers on our books no one out there thats better available so why not.Unless thats what Agar has got Lee Smith for to play fullback next season.

Mathers could of had a hatrick that would have been sweet under the sticks. Sykes needs to back his pace more allways looking for a pass when he makes a break.
