Mathers can look a world beater at times then look dire at others its what you get with him.He has had some good games for us as well as the obligatory bad ones but who else was about when we needed a full back.Could John make a full back who knows and unless a better full back comes along then it could be a good thing keeping Mathers.
I'd keep him personally. He can be brilliant for 79/80 minutes, and although his mad moments can cost us dearly, Id rather have a player doing well for 79 minutes in the team. If he does leave, we'll struggle to get a better replacement imo.
First half of the season I thuoght Mathers was excellent (despite him not kicking the ball dead at Widnes. However for the last 4 weeks (please take note Mr Agar- 4 weeks) he has been a liability, missed tackles, cant catch, dropped ball running the ball out of defence. Maybe someone has told him already that we are not keeping him. I know there is a balance, to allow players to atone for a poor performance by keeping them in the following week but, Mathers has been a liability and will certainly be tested this weekend. As for Smith I dont know. Never liked him, but then he was always in a Rhino shirt
