Richard did not play for the Gold Coast Titans for much of the start of the season, but an injury to regular fullback Preston Campbell allowed Richard to make his début for the Titans.

This injury was similar to the injury that occurred while he was playing for Leeds and kept him out for the rest of the season. Mathers team-mates offered to pay for Richard to travel home before he begins the long road to recovery.

After making seven appearances with the Warrington Wolves, Mathers rejoined the Leeds Rhinos, scoring a try in just his second appearance.
