Well, there's no unedited evidence to back up your accusations! He also did the right thing and wished him a well recovery!

The truth of the matter is that rugby league is and should always be played on grass, whatever anyone tweeted.

get some seed sown widnes, that rug is rubbish

And I was on twitter and saw nothing of the sort! Talk about poop stirring!

Do you actually know what caused Tommy’s injury? are you % sure that there is no link between the pitch and the injury, I’ve not seen anything anywhere saying categorically that the pitch played no part in the injury, so to suggest otherwise without substantiation is purely provocation and you sir are nothing but a troll

Twitter is more trouble that its worth

Jeez we used to argue about RL.

I wouldnt know but from what hes tweeted since he had put an end to it. Probably been told by the managment to put it to bed as its taken the focus off our win and your comeback to the super league.

Do you know what irony is? and no it's not something your mum does to your school shirts on a sunday night so they are ready for you Monday morning

weird that because i didn't see the killer comment and i saw it as soon as it was written! and mathers wasn't the only player to be complaining about it

You're wasting your time - it seems clear that the Widnes contingent are operating a North Korean style media black-out on all things anti-ipitch; denying the presence of nasty carpet burns, calling professional rugby league players who mention it 'soft' and erasing/forging Twitter comments.

In fact, has anyone seen Mathers since the game? I'm sure I saw a couple of b&w clad blokes bundling someone into the back of a Stobart trailer outside BV on Saturday morning...

i find the defence that it was because of the ice/cold that burns were experienced odd. surely if it wasn't fit to play becasue of the ice then the game shouldn't have taken place?

feel for the ref in this, because he will have not known whether it was safe or not with the ice/frost, and had to take a guess that it was - under implied pressure from rfl/sky to get the game on.

You'd call a game off due to posdibilty of a few grazed elbows? This is rugby right?

The Salford vs Cas game was something else as the damage done was worse and game play also effected.

TBH the Salford/Cas should never have played. And just because Mathers didn't like the ipitch doesn't make him "soft" - I wonder how many will say it to his face and the others who didn't like it as well e.g Fox?

Did you also know that Steve O'Connor once played a round of golf on the i-pitch and scored 17 holes in one? He only missed the 18th as he was momentarily distracted by a group of players applauding him wildly as they exfoliated their skin on the lovely, soft surface.
