Poll added for that bit of extra pressure on Noble.

Mathers should be dropped but I doubt he will be.

Same here

Won't he be suspended for the sin binning anyway?
lol

Poll edited...

I see Richie is logged in...

:1mmmbz0n

Or maybe his old mate Micky voted for him?! He has been on all night.







even the reporter on sky can see it.....it says on sky text re mathers' binning...wigan looked better without their full back, but still made too many errors

Haha I read that. Made me laugh so it did.

Tricky, how did this not become a fact?

shocking attempt to stop a player, for me he deserved to sent off not sin binned IMHO, halley would of blown him away and sealed the win earlier

saying mathers can play rugby league is a bit of an exageration isnt it?!?!

That said i do feel he is being scape goated here a little bit....our shocking performance today wasnt down to him...and there are a number of players who don't look wigan standard at the moment. IMO Roberts (on todays showing) is not wigan standard and shouldnt be in there, and tim smith, andy coley, sean o loguhlin, gaz hock, phil baley can also be added to that list!

not the first time hes done a dirty cynical trip as well....he could have ended halleys career with that....that was the worst one ive seen....he was running side by side...halley was getting the better of him (as expected)....and he decided to spin 180 degrees to perform some sort of karate kick...never mind a trip!!

Hopefuly the RFL will review this this week and do us a favour by banning him for 5 matches.....realistically there seems little chance of noble seing the light but at least we coud get some enforced absence out of this.

Anyway to bring things up

Tomkins, O'Carroll and Tommy had good games don't you think?

Especially at Hooker for Tommy I think. Maybe he should go there for a game and give Sam Tomkins a run out?

Once the RFL have had a look at the video could he not get a ban???

Hopefully.

You seem defensive. Are you normally so insecure?

If you're idea of an entertaining enjoyable rugby league game is 2 points irrespective then cheerio.

I prefer a game played within the rules and if my own team are not penalised for such incriminations I am man enough to admit to feeling that the referee is bad. No sing. Plain bad.

At no point did I suggest or even infer that the referee "was biased against us today" as your reply so eloquently and somewhat randomly purports.

Like I said, I am not blaimg the ref for the result. I blame him for his inability to referee.

Did he apologise after it?

On the pitch no. Probably too embarassed to apologise at the time cos it was truly shocking. He may have apologised in the bar afterwards I suppose but I wasn't there.

Never before have I wanted one of our players to get banned. But I really hope he does

Doc Murray > Mathers

Edited.

No balls, can't catch unless it's easy, flaps under pressure, too laid back leaving himself no go forward options as the kick chase defence is then in his face, and positionally he's flawed - everyhting you don't want your full-back to have. He's had long enough now, reserves games or get rid.

People keep saying he needs time to get his confidence, bollox - he's had a full season, and today he served up the same timid e he offered last year ......... how long do people want to give him, he's a risky points haemorrhage machine, one we can't afford either tactically or financially.

He's at Wigan on the back of his reputation after a couple of good seasons at Leeds, and then off to Aus where he got injured - but that was then and what we see today is now....not good enough for Wigan I'm afraid - get shut! & get get Paaat in at FB.

Mathers isn't in the same league as Richards in that position. I'm not doubting his commitment or passion but he's just not good enough.

When he got binned I don't even think they missed him, so what is his contribution to the team - it looks like his only contribution could be that he's just an extra body on the pitch filling a hole, so lets have one there that can actually play.

Think i was the first one on here to note the similarities.....strange how more and more people are now coming to the same conclusion and finally realising this guy is gash!!!

can we not tempt rads out of retirement again.....hed be 10 times the player mathers is now even without match fittness and being about 35
