I think Mather was better than James Reichwein, Nathan Knox, Paul Seaman, Phil Ruggles, Tom Sadd and Ryan Fachnie when they were playing for Otago and he was here. If he was available and I was taking Otago I'd have him in the squad now as well.
Mather way too slow for National league, M Cunningham made him look half decent at Roslyn
Nathan Knox was miles better, Sadd, Ruggles & Fachnie didn't play in his position. i'll give you Reichwein & Seaman though
Fair point about Ruggles & Fachnie, I thought Sadd was a centre-back?
Fachnie though was awful, he wouldn't have made it at Cavvy, Tech or Roslyn at the time and possibly elsewhere. He remineded me of the American Cam Richardson (Ithink that was his name) that came out with Phelo, again he would have been a squad player at the best SPL clubs - nice lad though.
If Mather was too slow, so was Knox, remember people being stunned at how poor he was. To be fair though once he started to get fit he showed he was decent.
