Constantly bagged since arriving at belle vue, I thought last week back at full back he was good but this week he was fantastic ! His commitment and the way you could see how much he wanted to win! I wish every player would play like that every week! Cheers Richie and keep inspiring everyone to victory!

He was fantastic, in fact he's had about 4 good games on the bounce

Thought at the start of the season he was getting better with every game he played at fullback and then Agar struck

Best game I have seen him play since his Leeds days.

It is contracts talk time dont forget.

Yup, but he did play really well today.

Has all the attributes, but so often fails to deliver.

Had a very good game today as did the rest of them they all came out to warm up and you could tell that they wanted it then.

I maintain that he is far from the worst FB in SL; he's had a dip this season when he appeared to be more interested in preserving his good looks, but a stint on the wing appears to have adjusted his attitude.



He has some defensive frailties, but is mostly solid at FB and does add something when he joins the line.

You are chariewildcat63 and I claim my florrin!

He has had a dip in form this year but who wouldn't with an ever changing back line. Delighted he played well this week, when the back line is settled Mathers is a decent full back.

Not sure he did. Not a fan never will be, but I thought he was playing reasonably well when inexplicably plonked on the wing. It was this that turned me against Agar a Coach I'd supported for misusing a player I hadn't which is ironic. The more I think about it the more I'm convinced Agar was begging to be let go. For once I must applaud Mathers response, he has returned to his proper position with a vengeance.
