He needs dropping. Worst player on the pitch and that took some doing today.

He was bloody awful! He seems scared of the bloody ball!

Today he looked like a coward, all 50/50 challenges that came his way he backed out of them. The one on the first half after the Wakefield kick through, he had no intension of going to ground for the ball. And in the second half he let a high ball bounce 5 feet in front of him and didnt want to take it.

He does not deserve the number 1 shirt. If Noble is the coach we think he is, he should drop him now before things get any worse for Mathers (if thats possible).

Its not like its debateable weather he deserves the starting place every week - the ironic cheers when he actually caught a bomb (twice) showed that 14,000 people can see how sh*t he is - so why cant Noble?? Does he have some dodgy pictures of him or something??

mathers was just the same at leeds kept his place sucking up to smith seems hes at it with noble now

As much as I feel sorry for the lad as I love his enthusiasm for the game, he isnt good enough for Wigan RL.

A job description of a full back is to catch an egg shaped ball, or betterly known as a rugby ball.

Unfortunately, He doesnt do this. And its worth noting Amos looks a safe bet under the high ball.

I thought a deliberate trip was a red card? It was that bad he took the touch judge out as well.

It happended just in front of me, I was amazed he didnt get a red card for it

He really should be in the Reserves (though Josh Veivers should be picked ahead of him for them!)


Pat to the back.

Even from the east stand it looked like it maybe should have been a straight red.

no he wasn't, he was very good at leeds (granted he was still doing the head shots here & there) but since then he's had 2 serious injuries, and doesn't look the same player. doesn't look like he wants to be at wigan tbh, which is why he only seems half hearted
