Why not Matamua has played first grade this
Year

He has been on the extended bench for the last few weeks, based on others he would be next in line for a call up.
Someone did say at some point last 2 weeks that he has a contract offer, if he signed would get a run but if he doesn’t why would we play him over others who are staying.

How many other clubs do you think would have played him? I’m not saying they shouldn’t have played but the idea that we’ve stymied either of their NRL careers is false.

Hasn’t he been injured all year?

Tumeth doesn't look like an NRL player.
He has no muscle definition.

If I was a coach/selector, the three things that I would consider before rewarding someone with a contract or upgrade is:
▪️Raw talent and ability to display that talent eg. Benji Marshal.
▪️Look like an athlete, muscle definition, the way they present themseves. Pass a rigorous fitness test eg Pole.
▪️Show energy, enthusiasm, a real jack in the box at training and in the game eg Robbie Farah.
If a bunch of park footy guys were walking down the street and only one was a NRL Representative player, I bet you the rep player would stand out like a beacon on a hill.
Elite players in the NRL stand out whether it's their physique or their demeanor.

You are confusing him with Eddie Obeid.
I assume he meant Dallas Donnelly.
Tumeth is coming back from an extended lay off...
He's on a development contract and has been in the extended squad for a few weeks now.
He sounds very much a part of the plan.
Development being the key word.
His time will come.
They took him to the Brisbane game and he was side line, filming the boys run out.

Patience Tigers are on the up in terms of talent coming through.
