Some people questioned it at the time but in hindsight it was an absolute masterstroke by Sir Tony Smith. Wigan most definitely got taken to the cleaners on that one, in fact in some ways its more satisfying than giving them what for in the semi final

Probably stems from having a Sh*t house coach who dumps on his players (See Mickey Higham) and also terrible fans who gave him an awful amount of stick and abuse.

Mathers has brought another dimension to our team/club and I for one is glad that he is here.

ps, Getting rid of that waster Gleeson is the best thing that has ever happened to this club in the SL era (although getting Smith in may be better). The things i heard about Gleeson beggers belief.
