Has he only 1 year of his Cas contract left?

He talks well on Wildcats TV

2 years.

[i

The club can confirm that no discussions have taken place regarding the final year of Mathers' three year contract (2013) and that he will be free to face the Tigers in all competitions next season.[/i



Personally not bothered he has left really, he reminds me of a turnstyle. When anyone comes to him he does a 360 and the opposition player ends up scoring.

by 'eck that was a closley guarded secret! dint see this one coming.

Wow, never expected that...no really

I'm pretty pleased with Mathers signing,has a good football brain,where does that leave Tony and Ben Cockayne position wise?

I would say Cockayne to the wing and Tony as backup

Personally never rated him although he did have an impressive career at Leeds. you do not go to the NRL and top clubs in the UK if you are poor.



Very much a confidence player, if he starts well he could be an excellent signing, bringing experience a cool head and good organisational skills.



It is how he reacts to errors that for me is the area of concern. Once he comes up with one error his head goes down and the howlers seem to come thick and fact.



Never seemed to settle anywhere since Leeds hope he finds a home at Wakefield his head is in the right place and he can become a more consistent performer than he has been since his Rhino's days.

Contradicting yourself a little there Jonh.

Good deal for us we all know he can do it lets hope he does the backs are looking good now just need the PNG hooker and a decent prop

not a very good signing im afraid he preferrs golf these days .But hey time will tell

He can be a good player on his day, but these tend to be the days he is not tested too much defensively!

I think his main problem is if he makes a mistake, he tends to make another, then another, then another and so on. One mistake can lead to a nightmare of a game, then one nightmare games leads to another, then another and then another. He seems to be unable to mentally overcome errors or poor games. So as long as he doesn't ever make a mistake.......................................
