... Turned Mathers in to a thug ?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 882804.stm

He's got in early with his 2 match ban, doing someone in the first game of the season. He was also red-carded a couple of times last season.

I never remeber Mathers to be that thuggish or that 'bad / desperate' at Full Back. After all, he was part of the 2003 Challenge Cup Final team and 2004 League Championship side (for some of it), so can't be that bad a player.

Has he been turned by Nobby or his stint down under ?

It was for a trip wasn't it?

He also got banned for same offence last year.

Mathers was always doing things close/over borderline at Leeds. He was always a clumsy tackler and was lucky on a few occassions.

All about opinions bud. But I certainly can relate to some of the grumblings of the oppossition support to some of his clumsy tackles.

Of course their moanings went overboard sometimes. But sometimes deserved.

Nothing here on his disciplinary hearings that would back that up:

6 visits, all since he's played with Wigan. But he needs to screw his head back on, that's for sure.

Could be some correlation with his lack of pace - caused by his two knee reconstructions - and his disciplinary record?

He was never the quickest - carrying a head that size round can't be easy :D - but he now makes Wellens look like Usane Bolt

Sorry I thought you had some specific incidents in mind.

I can't recall anything from his time here.

I don't recall that one. He got a warning letter for recklessly lashing out with his feet around Rob Burrow's upper body but I'd hardly call that a trip.

Which game do you have in mind?
