Confirmed: Matterson released from Wests Tigers.

[newtiger]


Going to be hard selling membership packages using a guy who we rumour want out and the other guy who now rumoured to want out..

Only Wests Tigers...lol

This is not the first time something like this has happened, multiple clubs have printed their calendars with players that they move on before the season starts.

Not denying he should be upgraded if he’s only on $350k, but Why does this have to play out in the media.....?..why can’t he and the club thrash out an upgrade behind closed doors and only come out in the media when the deal is done....that’s how the Storm or Rorters would handle this situation....but not us Tigers

It would be the manager pushing this agenda through the media

 

[Milky]

Re-sign him for 5 years. We need someone to build this team around. I would be giving him captaincy soon...

Tigerap meet player manager, player manager meet Tigerap.

Mate I think you’ll find this happens all the time however our senses are more heightened when it involves our club.

Where is the statement from the Tigers addressing / hosing down this matter?

Soon? Now!

Why don't we post crap on our website about Turdy & Co and the other clubs. Suggestions?

@tigerap I read a post saying that rothfield spoke to the club and they said there was no issue between Madge and Matterson. It’s about money.

If true then IMO they have dealt with the matter as that’s all is needed for a rumour for now and the I would say negotiations are underway. May also be the reason why Chris hasn’t been given a contract yet.

I said this many pages back, captain, move back to right edge and play 80 minutes, solves a few problems

Could this situation with Matterson have influenced him not receiving the ‘Player of the Year Award’ this week - with the award going to Brooks...?

The situation is bad enough, but you could imagine the headlines “Player of the Year wants out!!”

If it’s true, it’s a public relations disaster....!! And once again will make the club look like a basket-case...!!

The other way to look at it is his manager has dropped this today after his player who was a dead cert for player of the year got dudded.

 

[WT2K]

Might make training a bit interesting with this been made public and us training until grandfinal week..

Do players get extra money for that..

Seems to me all player managers care about is money..that's their job..

Clubs shouldnt be responding to rumours pushed by managers through the media.In my mind it would be totally irresponsible to give a manager that much power others may feel differently but that is the way i see it

Used to be the curse of the "face of the NRL". Brett Stewart and those charges, Benji when he decked someone at Maccas.

That guy deserved it ! Scum of the earth... wish he got Mitchell Pearce a bit better

Isn't it nice that the season has been over for 5 days and already the birds are squabbling over the spare hot chips that we don't have. Rowdy wants a decent deal, Matto wants a decent deal, Esan wants an upgrade.

I'll say it again, who at Wests admin and coaching is in a hurry to talk contracts after missing the finals again?
