He cost you a few GLDs last night. He failed to act on a bouncing ball a few times.



As Ex- Swarcliffe Rhino said to me, he seemed to have an elastic bound round him and the goalpost.

He's also one of the very few British backs to have had the guts to try the NRL. It didn't work for him - IMO he just never had the running game required to be a star fullback and perhaps should have looked at moving to stand off - but I'd never diss him for trying.

I like the fact alot of people get wound up like a spring at just the thought of him.



His roll round on the floor with Sinfield was lovely.



He was also a bit of a sitting duck when he was on the edge of the in-goal area and we smashed by the 'wild dog off the leash' style of Ryan Bailey.

I thought it said steak at first.

His injury was very unfortunate

Wasn't there a flying ablett aimed at Mather as well.



It was a few weeks ago and mathers was involved in a scrap. It was on telly and taller was the ref. on the refs mike Richie said. "he hit me first, I power slammed him though" taller replied good for you.



Bit like fox and kylie scrapping. That was amusing

Kylie should hang his head a little, arms were going, but what connected?



Bit silly to get into that, imagine picking up a needless ban at this stage of the season.



Fox's face had 'GULP' written all over it.

When Richie went to Gold Coast it was shortly after his mum had passed away. He's got 2 younger brothers and looked after them whilst she was ill, so moving to the other side of the world must have been especially difficult. He came back after injuries and for family reasons, can't fault him for that.



As for his time back, he never looked settled at Wigan and when Wire signed Hodgson there were a lot of eyebrows raised as Mathers was being talked about for the end of season internationals.



He's the sort of player you like cos he gives it everything. We talk about it being a tough sport so why whinge when it's played tough. He was hardly dropping on people with knees. The Kylie incident was a bigger shock. Even he looked shocked afterwards. But he summed up the game when he went straight to Fox after the whistle and gave him a hug

Mathers isn't a dirty player - he's had a couple of comedy dust-ups in our two recently televised matches, but that's far from the story of his season.



Apart from the odd brain-fart, he's been great for us this year - don't know what the future holds for him but I think most Wakey fans would be happy to see him retained.

He's on a fair whack at Cas. Would he have to take a big cut?

I have no idea.
