Personally I would have preferred to keep Richie at Cas as backup, but as has been said, you have to give Millward his chance to build the squad he wants.

I would just like to wish all the best to Richie at Wakefield, and just hope it does not come back to haunt us next season.

Can't say as I'm overly thrilled by it.

However, the no recall option and allowing him to play against us is a big mistake IMO

Have to hope the coach knows best, with a thin squad and not the full cap to play with I guess we'd have to compromise. Personally I would much rather have had Mathers in our 18 on match days, but if we did acquire a centre and everyone stays fit, then we have clearly put a 1 on the back of Richie Owen, so that limits his options and at that stage in his career he needs to play every week.

I strongly believe Mathers is a confidence and fish and ponds man, he will be in the top 3 for their player of the year, I'd have a £5 on it.

On a personal note, seems a proper bloke, looks after himself well away from the game, never attracted a moments criticism or any unwanted attention, played when and where he was asked, had changes in form as all players do but can go with nothing but praise from Cas fans in my opinion.... Form is temporary and class is permanant, I just hope we dont rue that next season!

Good bit of business by the club, too expensive to be a back up player( with owen being a far better fb he would be) and means we can bring in a centre now.

I'd imagine it's because there was no alternative. You + Wakey will both have wanted a permanent transfer, but he won't have been willing to drop his wage demands therefore this sort of loan will be in place.

I'm not his greatest fan, but being both half-price and English mitigates my lack of enthusiasm - we were starting to look a bit too HKResque for my liking.

I wonder if he'll apologise to the occupants of the Benidorm flats for his over-exuberant celebrations during the CC game last season?

Mathers had to go, Cas have a lot of money problems to sort out.Cas are in the brown stuff at the moment,

mark gasnier for centre

He could have a blinder against an old club as many do, but we should know his weaknesses. And most days he couldn't tackle a big dinner.
Should make the derby interesting.

I think that just shows how much Cas think of him as a player.

Look at all the weak tacklers Wakefield have now: Mathers, Fox, Smith, Mariano (was in the top 10 missed tackles last season, possibly first without checking).
