Quote Katrina="Katrina"icon_lol.gif at some of these comments. He was hardly tested at all! All the kicks went straight to him. He made an error at the kick off which led to us having pressure on the Warrington line, then failed to clear a kick which led to our try.'"
Exactly, thats how shocking we were, i never remember us making a proper clean break and taking mathers on one on one........thats when you see his true colours
Last nights performance by mathers was how he played for wigan when we played lesser clubs like salford, quins etc. and when he wasn't tested, and people would be on here saying, 'he playing better' - yes only better because the opposition didnt show him up, not because hed improved.
The bombs he had aslo, the only pressure put on him was by the fans, the bombs were straight to him and no runners within 10 years.....Had we played better and tested him, then he would have reverted to type...Mathers against Austrailia would be suicide and is laughable anyone to ever say mathers for england, especially when we gift them breaks for fun. With mathers every clean break = Try and theres not much point in him at FB. if we'da made breaks last night we would have won and won handsomly!
Ps. as much as I think hes an awful player, he always gives his all and was one of the few players who did that at wigan, for him to be boo'd last night was awful.....yes pressure him when the bomb goes up but don't boo the lad who gave 110% for wigan every week. He just simply isnt good enough for wigan, which is a shame given his committment. As happy as I am he's gone, he gave his all and was good for team morale and effort. Unfortuately for him though mathers playing his heart out talent wise is still not as good as a class FB playing like he cba!
