Mathers is not my fav player/person in the world but come on people!!Have we suddenly become top 4 overnight and i missed it??
Better coaches than us have picked him and apart from his spell at Wigan that didnt go well, he has been a far better full back over the years than what we have seen.
He does come over a bit arrogant & a bit of a gobsh..e, but as has been said before if we picked a RL team on players that people liked or that were intelligent, articulate and pleasant company, we would end up playing 5 a side at best.
Lee Smith. No thanks. He is a prime example of a player that has gone backwards to the point of almost no return.
