dont some players and management look on here??
so if they are underperforming and playing as bad as mathers did on sunday, would it be more helpful to him to say "you did ok, never mind"....or would it be better to say "mathers , you played crap"
turning a blind eye to bad play doesnt help anyone.
blunt, honest opinion does, although it may sound harsh and brutal, it helps in the long run.
ignoring the fact that certain players play crap week in week out is the best way to get em to carry on playing crap, as it leads them to believe the performances they are putting in are acceptable......when in fact , they arnt acceptable.
how many threads have we seen about coleys dire performance ? none
yet mathers get strips torn off him again after just 1 game of 09 ?
its been said the fans allways have a boo boy , and mathers is defo it , some of it being totally unjustified at times ,
from the way this board has gone this week you would think mathers was at fault for every try wakey scored , all the ball we dropped , the lack of moves , the lack of direction and leadership etc etc
lets get things into perspective
