Wigan full-back Richard Mathers has been handed a two-match ban after being found guilty of tripping an opponent.

The former Leeds player was sin-binned for the offence on winger Dave Halley during the Warriors' shock 12-6 home defeat by Wakefield on Sunday and subsequently cited by the Rugby Football League's match review panel.

Tonight the Rugby Football League's disciplinary committee fined him £300 and suspended him for Wigan's next two matches, against Hull on Friday and Castleford a week later.

Mathers was the only player to be sent off twice last season

Dirty player is richie since he signed for wigan

We are appealing






To have the ban increased

What that a sod got in his way?????


But hr is such a 'nice' guy.

nice one

DISGRACEFUL

SHOULD BE SINE DIE (probably spelt wrong !)

No thats spelt correctly Fred.


But maybe a tad harsh on him.

When i played it was always one of the biggest no no's in the game.

It still is but i don't think it's a sine die offence.

i agree, action of a COWARD!
