Yeah I do remember that I also remember the interview he did saying that Ivan was sorry he kept him at the Tigers and he just laughed so I highly doubt Tigers would be willing to take him back, and as you said concussions have become a major factor for him not manly teams are gonna be willing to sign a player that keeps getting them maybe he won’t even be in the NRL after this year

Matterson has burnt a fair few bridges wherever he goes. He'll have a target on his head for sure, don't think he'd have too many admirers within the NRL playing ranks

Has all the makings of a top athlete ( unlike @tony soprano 🤣 )

Just doesn't seem to ever stand out.

Needs aggression. Look at a bloke like Radley, probably gives away 15kgs or more to Mikaele but the damage they create you'd think it was the other way round.
Good forwards have nearly always got plenty of aggro in their game.
Need to give Thomas some fish-guts milkshakes before he runs out on game day.

1 good hit up followed by 10 missed tackles and 4 dropped balls as the donnie @Sausagesorcerer said...

Complex case.
Looks a beast but has minimal impact or beast like attributes.

He makes some good hit-ups but overall he doesn't do enough does he.

Nope.

Looks fit this year though and hopefully has a crack.

I know he's an option for the dolphins but Wayne will expect more of him, even from the bench.

Question for tigers forumers ???
Upgrade MADDEN or upgrade RUA

Easy Answer:
MADDEN has Brooks and Hastings in front of him. Hastings previously has made Todd Carney look like a team player, while he is stable now there is a chance something opens up. 2 positions in the halves.

RUA has: Simpkins, Jacob Liddle and Api Koroisau in front of him. One position at hooker and maybe a bench spot. There is also Tannious coming up.

Both Simpkins and Liddle have had a chance to prove themselves. If Rua suddenly outperforms them both then happy to see them go or train into other positions.

It's a meritocracy. We can't have 4 halfbacks and we have 4 candidates with Koroisau coming in.

I haven’t heard anything official from Parra about Matterson so at this stage he seems to be on the outer, he could be gone after this year but if he is don’t know which club would be willing to take him only club that might come sniffing would be Dolphins given they don’t have many players their yet

Dolphins won't be taking Matto. 100%

WB is clearly going the muscle route with Kaufusi, J & K Bromwich and a bunch of other forwards that honestly make their forward pack look really good for a starting side (I can't remember who but I was going wow). Now if the Dolphins did not sign those names, they would be signing Matterson 100%

Re Matto, I don't have a huge problem with him. He is in it for the money, he will demand the money. He does not suit us at the moment, we are building towards regularly entering the top 8 and staying there..... Where he would suit is Penrith, Easts where they want an extra push to get to the finals OR Melbourne after the names they have lost.

The only reason why we would take him is if say Tamou or Stefano fall to injury. Which is totally fine.

Guys we need to let ex tigers come back. James Tedesco, you are welcome to the Fullback spot and I am sure we can spare you 300k at least.
