Some of you lot need to grow up!



He was sledged from the start of the game, so it was obvious he was going to enjoy scoring - that was the only way he could respond, short of getting involved in an argument with the crowd; if you gave it, you have to expect to get it back in some form or another.



Some of the hateful nonsense directed at him during the game and on Twitter deserved to be outed; good on Mathers.

So it's fine for him to have digs at the club & fans, but when he gets it back he's allowed to moan about it like the wet blouse he always is? Nice hypocrisy there.



They way Millward got rid of him was a disgrace, but the way Mathers has carried himself about it caused the reaction he got with his constant moaning & his jibes at the club & fans all season long.

So you're saying that in direct contrast to received wisdom, two wrongs in fact do make a right?

Well you were saying 3 wrongs make a right by congratulating Mathers on making himself look soft (again) by running off sulking





Funny how he didn't take offence to the Leeds players getting abuse from the Wakefield mob

The most worrying thing for me about all this is that some people still wish to defend the actions of some fans. They still wish to defend the poor excuse for players and poor excuse of a club we have. Sunday was the first time EVER I have walked early from a game and it wasn't because we were losing it was because it showed me exactly where we are as a club, team and fans and I couldn't stomach it. We're miles behind where we should be and it's an embarrassment.



I have to laugh, we boo, abuse and generally throw all kinds of disgusting crap at Mathers (err, let's not pretend it was friendly banter or that he warranted any of it) but as soon as he says or does anything in response HE'S the one who is in the wrong. Fair play Richie, you scored a try and helped your team destroy mine. What better way to stick a finger up at your ex-club and the boo boys. Also, fair play to a bunch of Cas fans who tried to show Mathers that not all us Cas fans are idiots. I think he saw that and appreciated it too.



Good luck Wakey.



Get a grip Cas ffs.

Come on, there is a world of difference between the odd dig on social media most of which IMHO is more imagined than real - and outright foul mouthed vicious abuse. Surely any fair minded person can see that. Jeez I'm not even being critical of Cas fans doing it, it's part of the game and all fans do it now and then. What amazes me is your somehow trying to make yourselves out to be the victims here with this self righteous indignation - that is what I call real hypocrisy of the highest order.

We're not the ones taking offence, you are!

When Mathers scored at MM, did he celebrate? No. Why? Out of respect and he wasn't being abused from the first minute. And I have yet to see any "dig" he has made towards Cas.

This - well said, and thank you.



I'm quite surprised that the actions of the minority of Cas fans who took the sledging to an unacceptable level aren't being more roundly condemned by their more moderate fellows; Mathers has done nothing wrong, other than perhaps sign a contract at Cas in the first place, so I'm baffled by the level of vitriol directed at him; as it seems, was he.



The malaise at Cas runs much deeper than the Richie Mathers situation - I'd suggest you need to look elsewhere to vent your frustration.

Don't agree with verbal abuse of him but do have a joke about him being a reject.



But I walked out the ground on Sunday stating that I'd take back Richie Mathers next season if we can. Say what you like about him, he ripped us to shreds from full-back.



I'd say that Millward needs to realise that depth is key and that there is a place for Richie Mathers at Castleford Tigers.

There is a place for Richie back at Cas but after Sunday he'd not come back if he was asked and who could blame him ?

It wasn't sledging. It was disgusting foul mouthed abuse. I'm surprised, shocked, at the vitriolic abuse he took because he's not done a damn thing wrong in any of this.
