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.

did paul wood receive a ban for his blatant punch to the face of carl ablett at wembley?
if i remember correctly he only had a grade a offense to answer and now cannot enter another guilty plea,whoopy do
the disciplinary committee must be the most inconsistently run panel in the whole world of sport

They do seem to make things up as they go along

I didnt say I did

Just wondered where this side of him has come from as it wasn't seen at Leeds

Mather isn't a dirty player or a scrapper, he wants to win, he isn't the best player but I certainly liked him play at Leeds and wouldn't boo him as some did. It didn't work out is Aus but he give it a shot and you can't fault him for that. He always to me comes across well in interviews.
Good in attack, makes mistakes in defence but always give 100%

Yeah I like Mathers a lot, he has his faults and like vastman says has made a dropped a couple of clangers but all in all he's been solid under the bomb and returns the ball well. Also feel he's a good example to some of the younger members of the squad with his professionalism and 100% effort every game.

I agree - the fact that any Leeds fans would give him stick or boo him because he dared to chance his arm by and test himself in Aus is frankly embarrassing. He's a good pro, seems a decent bloke and is a Leeds lad.

I'd also add that people seem to forget that he was doing pretty well in the NRL until he had a recurrence of the serious knee injury that had ended his Leeds career.

Yup. I seem to recall his Gold Coast team mates being gutted at his injury too. Can't remember what but they all got together and did something for him before he left for England

He's a good player, his one on one tackling is poor but he'll not often take a backwards step. I found it embarrassing when the Leeds fans booed him on Saturday
