After millennium magic he should never have played for wigan again

after today he should never play rugby league again

saying mathers can play rugby league is a bit of an exageration isnt it?!?!

That said i do feel he is being scape goated here a little bit....our shocking performance today wasnt down to him...and there are a number of players who don't look wigan standard at the moment. IMO Roberts (on todays showing) is not wigan standard and shouldnt be in there, and tim smith, andy coley, sean o loguhlin, gaz hock, phil baley can also be added to that list!

Mathers takes Matt King's head of last year and the whole rugby community pleaded "He's not that kind of player" Pathetic, he's had more yellow that the Arsenal away shirt.

not the first time hes done a dirty cynical trip as well....he could have ended halleys career with that....that was the worst one ive seen....he was running side by side...halley was getting the better of him (as expected)....and he decided to spin 180 degrees to perform some sort of karate kick...never mind a trip!!

Hopefuly the RFL will review this this week and do us a favour by banning him for 5 matches.....realistically there seems little chance of noble seing the light but at least we coud get some enforced absence out of this.

Anyway to bring things up

Tomkins, O'Carroll and Tommy had good games don't you think?

Especially at Hooker for Tommy I think. Maybe he should go there for a game and give Sam Tomkins a run out?

Once the RFL have had a look at the video could he not get a ban???

if both teams were not square 80% of the time and if both teams looked offside a good 50% + of the time as well, surely thats still a level playing field? i sense you are suggesting that both teams cheated, if so, cheats never prosper - so something had to give ay?

the standards of refereeing will always be a talking point in every game and it is an easy way out to say " the ref was biased against us today "

You seem defensive. Are you normally so insecure?

If you're idea of an entertaining enjoyable rugby league game is 2 points irrespective then cheerio.

I prefer a game played within the rules and if my own team are not penalised for such incriminations I am man enough to admit to feeling that the referee is bad. No sniggering. Plain bad.

At no point did I suggest or even infer that the referee "was biased against us today" as your reply so eloquently and somewhat randomly purports.

Like I said, I am not blaimg the ref for the result. I blame him for his inability to referee.

Did he apologise after it?

On the pitch no. Probably too embarassed to apologise at the time cos it was truly shocking. He may have apologised in the bar afterwards I suppose but I wasn't there.
