| Quote wiganstu="wiganstu"how many threads have we seen about coleys dire performance ? none
yet mathers get strips torn off him again after just 1 game of 09 ?
its been said the fans allways have a boo boy , and mathers is defo it , some of it being totally unjustified at times ,
from the way this board has gone this week you would think mathers was at fault for every try wakey scored , all the ball we dropped , the lack of moves , the lack of direction and leadership etc etc
lets get things into perspective'"
Completely agree.
Coley was average at best last season, and in some parts just dire. The only thing he had going for him was that he was ever-present. Mathers, although some he does deserve, is officially Wigan RL Fans boo boy. An unjustified tag IMHO.

Chris Ashton was really a one off talent. If he had stayed and worked on his defence he could of easily become one of the best fullbacks around. His attacking game was awesome.

Search Richard Moore on youtube. He actually runs away from him.
Sorry no thanks - even if you ignore the rumours about him disrupting training sessions he seemed to just give up when he had signed for Northampton.

His head was turned by Northampton and the £££. The training sessions and lack of effort came after that. Whilst unforgivable it could be forgotten if he came back and his defence was sorted. His attack was potentially world class.

| In his time at Wigan one player has performed several cowardly acts, one highlighted again on Sunday with the trip, the worst was the hit on Matt King.
Newton performed a cowardly act on Long just like Pryce has done in the past.
If players perform cowardly acts why should they not be highlighted?

| Agree that his head was turned by Northampton and the reported salary he was offered. He went to pot after that.
So was Karl Pryce's too, he was pretty poor after he realised what union were offering.
He's a talented lad and scored one of the best Wigan tries at KR for a long while some years ago.
Is he still out of the Union first team?
I do hope Wigan have his registration.
Would I have him back? Yes without question!
Be good if he came back after their season ends, if not before!

I gave him a chance last year and still hoped this year that he would find his feet , but when he bottled it when they kicked through that was it for me the ball was not even 50/50 . He should be dropped for that alone fullback is a vital role he is one of the weakest I've seen in the shirt wish it was not true but it is . I will not boo the team or a player and I wont cheer ironically at him catching a bomb but he's shot as a player at the moment and should not play .....simple .

| Let's be honest, part of the whole reason we're in this current hole is because of the amount of talent we have let go over the past few years. We've always chased the quick fix and brought in overpaid, second rate Aussies and even english players to some extent and let homegrown players just leave. Briscoe, Ashton, Robinson, Wild, Gilmore. Hell, even Aspinwall and Brown could still be getting a game in this current squad....

None of them would get a game.

I dissagree mathers is anything but safe at full back..offers nothing in attack..makes glareing errors (remember wikin making him look stupid) plus others one on one situations he is terrible..he looks scared!...then we get to 2 sending off's plus a 2 match ban for tripping in his first game..come on is it any wonder he gets the stick he does!..Coley might not be great (average at best) but he is involved in the game more than mathers. for me mathers = liability..we can't afford that at full back...scary thought once our line of defence is broken all we have to rely on is mathers..can you honestly say you feel confident mathers will deal with the situation? remember he has had most of his first season and his warm up games this season to prove a point..has he done so? I don't think he has come close.
