Wigan full-back Richard Mathers has been handed a two-match ban after being found guilty of tripping an opponent.
Mathers was sin-binned for the offence on winger Dave Halley during the 12-6 home defeat by Wakefield on Sunday and subsequently cited by the Rugby Football League's match review panel.
On Tuesday evening the Rugby Football League's disciplinary committee fined him £300 and suspended him for Wigan's next two matches, against Hull FC away on Friday and at home to Castleford Tigers a week later.
Im glad I dont think Noble would have the balls to drop him.
We will also maybe get chance to see Roberts mover to fullback and maybe see Goulding/Pryce/Ainscough/Tomkins get a game.
I think even playing as we were on sunday, if Mathers had not of been playing we might of just scraped through, he gave the team no confidence and made many mistakes and also got 10 minutes.
Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS
Noble might have no option but to drop him if his replacement plays well.
We all know that if we find a suitable wing replacement for Richards then Mathers won't play in the first for a good length of time until we receive injuries.
I can't see Roberts starting there on Friday in all honesty.
