The guy has been in good form since Webster took over.
He will take some replacing as FB is one of the most important positions in the team.

Good luck !

This is another that might divide opinion - if this had been announced 10 games ago there may have been a chorus of approval but now the team has had a decent run and Mathers has been a part of that it is more difficult. Also he has dropped a few clangers in recent games that have been masked slightly by the fact we ended up winning.

In previous Mathers bashing threads I have stated all along that Mathers has some severe weaknesses to his game for an established fullback but having said that he also has several positives about him that made him the best fullback we had (or were likely to recruit). Maybe the club think they have other options that provide better value with Hall, Sammut, Owen, Jowitt etc.

Anyway, I like Richard's enthusiasm and involvement and I am sure he will be an asset to whichever club he ends up at next season.

When Brough put that towering bomb up on Sunday the ball was in the air for enough time for me to wish that it was Mathers who would be taking the catch. It was Sammut who fluffed it and spilled the ball straight into the oppositions hands for a walk in under the sticks.
Safest pair of hands we've had at the back in Super League.

Terrible decision to let him go. We are a much more structured side with Richie at the back. The wheels always seem to come off when he isn't playing.

Maybe Hall will get the #1 next year but I aren't sure how good his organizing skills are.

Good luck Richie

Jordan Tansey could well look good in Red White and Blue next year.

No he wouldn't and won't!

A great move for him that and good timing with Anthony Minichiello retiring

Won't be Catalans I can assure you of that.

Although he hasn’t helped himself with his ambling when chasing a kick through, I hope the full back play from the first half on Sunday highlighted what we’ve got/had with Mathers. Yes he seems to back out of tackles and time his arrival just as the opposition scores a try, but he’s the best full back at the club and arguably the best full back Trinity have had in SL. He will be difficult to replace.

Not unhappy, better available for less IMO.

Whos that then Vastman that's better and available ?

My guess If Owen has signed hes fullback cover and wing. The replacement could be Curtis Naughton ex bulls lad who went to oz but coming back appatently. Mathers going to bulls is probably not correct as they have signed mullaney as their fullback. Would like Kear though.
