He took it on the chin because he had to, just like every single ref has to. You don't see a ref responding to abuse.

Mathers doesn't seem to have cottoned on to the fact that fans from his previous clubs don't like him because he's just not good at playing rugby.

He'll be off your hands next year anyway.

I've never particularly liked Mathers as a player, no matter who he played for. Defensively we've had better, although he is more impressive when he joins the attack. We've had other players at Trinity - many - who have not been 'superstars' in their positions, but all of these players get a warm welcome when they play at Belle Vue IF they've done their best for the club during their time with us. Examples are Wilkes and Golden when they went to London, Elima with Catalans and Bradford, Atkins with Wire etc. etc. If they've taken the p when they were with us, they get some stick (Tpot Griffin?).

What I can't understand with your abuse of Mathers is that he is a great club guy, despite his shortcomings as a player. He gives his best on the pitch, and goes above and beyond off it. I honestly think he was gutted to leave Cas, and think that he dealt with his departure with dignity. He didn't deserve that abuse - unlike your hero Chase who, it seems to me, has tried to deliberately engineer his own departure and who's lack of any shred of the professionalism that Mathers showed whilst with you I find disgusting!

I too was in the WRE and clearly heard the c word directed at Mathers.

My husband said he heard it. I was probably too engrossed in the game.But I'm sick of all the foul language and won't bring my daughters kids to Cas because of it. Don't theses idiots realise they're driving away lots of fans with kids because of the swearing and chants. Its time action was taken before we get into trouble again.

Classic Gronk.

I heard it numerous times.

Really is a shame how Cas are going down the pan

Single handedly scored as many tries as your whole team give your head a shake

There are more Wakey fans on our forums then there is on theirs... you are so engrossed in our team

well, Thaler plus Roby et al responded at Perpignan by giving some mind boggling decisions against the Catalans so far this season

retaliation doesn't have to be in verbal form

Mathers responded at the time by scoring. Twice.

he also spilled two howlers at the GB that cost his team the game this year...

from hero to zero...

So Mathers two 'howlers' cos us at least 24 points? Really?

I think if its got to the stage that Wakey and Catalan fans are drifting miles off topic then this thread has gone
