Fans seem to like him,not that impressed myself.but prepared to give him support.with all the positive news coming out of belle vue 2013 looks good.keep our eyes on Jodie Broughton as the Salford crisis unravels.lives local.

Leeds lad I think?

Lives on my estate but just because he lives local doesn't mean he'll sign for us. He obviously does t mind travelling with playing for Salford and living here.

and the other thing that he does which cracks me up is when someone runs through him. He always looks at the players around him and waving his arms blaming them bahahaha - good acting.

Mathers 2 year deal announced this morning on Radio Leeds

Mathers has just Tweeted:-

"@RichardMathers: So happy to sign at Wakefield for the next 2yrs, club that's going places on & off the field, great set of boys! Now let's get 5000 members!"

AG also tweeted confirmation

Was this the news that we were gonna love according to AG's twitter yesterday? If so, whilst I am am not against this signing, it certainly isn't one that imo meets with the billing.

I Welcome Mathers signing and it is still very good news, but like others a crave a new signing with some quality.. GET Your season tickets people

Glad Mathers is now permanent he will not be worrying whats happening with his contract and Im sure that will be better for his game.Yes he does have his faults and what you see is what you get but he has his good side and we could see more of the good things and less of the faults next season.

I think with a full off season at wakefield though the coaching team may well work with him to help reduce the errors he makes and improve his one on one defence which is one are which unfortunately let him down.

But im happy with the signing think one more forward and i'll be happy with the squad we have for next season.

It might be the case that overall defence in the team will improve which means that Richie isn't isolated so much, even during our great end of season run we always leaked tries.

Getting a full off season is where all the squad will get more from and we should win games that we lost last season.Saying that consolidating a top 8 spot will do for me next season as long as we dont over stretch our expectations.We should go well more so if we make BV a wall of noise and get behind the players again one area where Mathers and other players have said was a massive boost for them.

Good signing by Wakefield especially as Cas are paying an amount towards his salary over the two years.
I always felt Mathers would make a good stand off but you have a much better one in Smith.

Really, spill the beans.

Good signing, been there done it, good leadership qualities and good player especially in attack which seems to be the in thing for a fullback.

Good riddance to bad rubbish, couldn't organise a =#FF0000EDIT up in a brewery with his defence organisation and his attack was pretty woeful, so glad hes gone

=#FF0000The swear filter is there for a reason, please don't make the same mistake twice.


El Rey.

His organisation is very good. It's his 1 on 1 and ball retention that sometimes lets him down.

You sound like Milward. Clueless.

What does that make Jordan Tansey then

Didnt look to woeful at your place this season

remind me how many tries did he get. Just a bitter and twisted cas fan. Hay Ho

pure quality, have you done with your hissy fit now feel better

Nappy full or what

Predictable.

I would say the feeling is mutual.

You might regret it next season when your Santa beater is eating porridge!!
