Can't see why people are getting wound up.

You didn't want him
He came to us
We like him (mostly)
We want him
You still don't
You give him grief as you still don't like him
He scores two tries in a win against you
He enjoys it
He takes an opportunity to moan about it to his "fans"
You still don't like it
You moan on your own forum to you "fans"

seems like a "dad he's pushing me" kind of arguement to me

I'd have been sickened by some of our fans using the c word towards him as it was unwarranted and an awful thing to hear. Richie Mathers has done nothing wrong as far as I can see.

Well Said

Where we were stood in the PS Mathers was being given the benefit of doubt until his second try which he celebrated in front of us (and zero Wakey fans) like a last minute GF winner....don't tell me that wasn't an exaggerated and deliberate act of provocation. The guy has some ability but absolutely no class.

Cause he was celebrating and I don't blame him the unfair abuse he took from some of you lot - you're yet another cycloptic fan I this case.

Jeez Hudson virtually makes love to his Cas badge on the rare occasions you beat us and we don't moan, and that bloke took your silver and was banned for 2 years if we're talking class!

Hudson has been at Cas for ages and has been here when his career started so undoubtedly is a Cas fan and loves beating Wakefield and shows passion, however Mathers has been at Wakefield for 24 games (not even a full season) and looks like he would lick the badge, I'm sorry but the only reason he celebrated like he did because he knows we hate him

Wrong!

You must be very young and poorly informed because Hudson is from the Stanley Rothwell area which isn't especially Cas - he was a junior with Stanley Rangers and he started his career at Hudds and made his name in a big way whilst at Wakefield - before running off to Cas for the silver. He's been at Cas a while but not all his career by any stretch and like most players is not a fan any particular club.

I can't hate him just because he plays for Wakefield and because he didn't figure in Millward's plans which is not his fault in the slightest. I would have him back at Cas next season if possible but some idiots spouted a vile word at him and if I was him I'd never come back.

I know what I meant I worded it wrong, as when he played for Cas he played for GB and represented Yorkshire I meant where his career escalated. He has been Cas the longest time throughout his career (added up)

Lets not forget how Unfairly Richie was treated by the club/Head coach - If i scored a try against a Club that gave me unfair dismissal for no paticular reason (Through him out and told him to train on his own) and on top of that fans abusing him all throughout the game (Before he even scored a try) Then im sure i would shove it in there face and celebrate how i wanted - Dont like it dont give it - Like our fans with Tommy Lee - our fans said he was complete garbage - he signed a new contract and agar came in and got rid of him - he scored against us and told our fans to shush - Jesus if you cant take it dont give it

You best tell Richard that, he's been making sly (and not so sly) digs about Cas all season.

I agree with you.

He has been treated badly though.

I thought Mathers had a decent game on Sunday probably alot better than he ever played for Cas , The problem i have with the whole abuse thing is i dont get why the Cas fans would give him it has its well documented that he didn't want to go, that said if he was that bothered about it why was he laughing at it at one point and when the chants of Winker Winker were been shouted (of course its wrong before anyone says otherwise) why did Mathers react by playing along giving a five knuckle shuffle motion as it was been shouted , Might have been better just saying and doing nowt.
Just for the record me personally I would have him back at Cas ,think hes a very good professional

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.
