as you may know mathers played in the reserves this week .
according to form he had quite a poor game from what i have been told.
nobby was at the game. with richards performing so well at fb and ainscough doing a great job on the wing. does this spell the end for mathrs ?
even if ainscough or roberts got injured, pryce (who did have a strong game in the reserves) could go on the wing .
mathers was even put in at 6 for a while and his distribution was shocking .

I'm guessing whoever told you this missed the 2 tries that he set up, he actually played well when he went to 6.

Mathers started awful at fullback and was hesistant, unsure, caught in two minds and seemed very low in confidence. However, when he switched to Stand off he played well. He gave some decent passes and kicks which we even scored off. As time went on playing at stand off his confidence and talk grew and it brought out the best in him.
However, playing better at a position where he will realisitically never break the first team will do no favours for him. Mathers playing at stand off within the reserves will only solve reserve team solutions opposed to Mathers personal ones.

He may get a chance if we had lots of injuries in the halfs but I think Lockers and Roberts would be more likely to play there if we had 2-3 injured.
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
