Indeed he isn't most people think hes OK, which is just about right, anyone else such as yourself bagging him or making him out to be a sensational fullback are (i would say) in the minority - which makes you just as far off the mark as what you are suggesting others are.
He has his failings, he has his attributes - that puts him somewhere in the middle which is exactly where most fans see him.
If he were any better, we probably would be having this "debate" on another clubs forum.
Now find another player to pick on or bore off.

Obviously depending on age and opinion some of each group push the boudary to the next.
If I were being picky I'd nudge Geoff Wraith up to at least top of middle group and I thought Harcombe was better than the others in his group.

Good comparison though and Mathers is somewhere in the middle ofthe middle group.

Full back role has changed over that time too so difficult to compare to Mathers directly

I would like to add Paul White to the worst list. I remember one game away at Salford in 2006 when he had an absolute nightmare.

Mathers is ok, he is not brilliant but he is an average SL fullback which in our current situation is the best we could hope for. (That is unless Max Jowitt gets a chance)

He looked good in the 5 shirt on sunday and not at all out of place with the grown ups, bagged a pretty good try too

for Max to even get a mention just shows what a player we have in the making

If your bored kinley don't bother reading or replying to my posts ,tell you what bores me old lad is folk like you telling me mathers is average you know the only folk who think that are folk who post on here ,rugby men who I have known many years think like me our number one is not average he's very poor,what I'm trying to say is that is my opinion if you don't like my views tough,but don't tell me to bore off your on dangerous ground

I thought all the dinosaurs were extinct
do you know Jeff Goldblum Sam Neil and Sir Richard Attenborough?

Why do you come on here financial if you don't want to talk rugby oh sorry you don't know owt about it

If you look up the word "irony" in the dictionary, it has your name next to it

Best 3 full backs to play for Wakefield Trinity. Gerry Round being the best of the three by a long way.

I never saw any of these three play but I was coached by Metcalf for a couple of years,,,

Also forgot Matty Blaymire... a player with all the skills but no pace.

I dont mind Mathers TBH he is not as good as some but a hell of a lot better than many....

Steady on now, you'll be accused of knowing nothing by the font of knowledge AKA try scorer

Old blighty knows plenty, its you my friend who's lacking

We had this discussion several times throughout last season and that's the conclusion that most right thinking people come to each and every time.
