Confirmed: Matterson released from Wests Tigers.

As far as rep or elite level footballers go, that's an extraordinarily weak list. And none of them fled. I started to get into player specifics but it's pointless, you have Mitch Moses and Doueihi listed as elite players, how can I argue with that.

It pains me greatly to defend Moses...I despise the sook too much.

But he did top the entire NRL for assists this year. First for all halves, first for the whole comp...

And kick 81%

And lead a team to the top 4 most of the season / semis / huge home final win. Thankfully failed after that...

He has become an elite level 7 and will probably be even better next year.

Now Cronk and Thurston are gone, who is ahead of him? Cleary? Morgan? Neither are particularly great. He is def in the top 5 now.

************************ That was painful to write.....**

IMHO, Moses is one of he most talented players in the comp, but he's a flat track bully. When things go against him, he turns to water.

Will continue to improve as a player - imo.

And he would need to. Just to be thought of as a player.

Forget Matterson we need to sign Asofa Solomona video showing him belting 3 blokes doing the rounds in Bali. It’s wild he’s a machine. Best puncher I have seen in Rugby League.

Moses is the biggest flat track bully there is. The amount of times he goes missing or his execution goes to the crapper when his team is struggling is pretty amazing. At least with Luke Brooks you know he is going to put out at least a 5 or 6/10 performance every week. Moses still has a few 2/10 games in him a season, and even one or two 0/10 games.

**He reminds me a lot of David Warner in a lot of ways. Brilliant player when things are going his way, one of the best. But a shocking attitude and mentality. Almost always goes missing when conditions aren't in his favour. Both are massive showboats and terrible humans**.

Really good comparison there, except, Warner when he is on, is an absolute beast. Moses isn't at that level yet.

@hammertime Well his 2020 is already over

What's the point of having a punching machine - the game is for pansies these days - he'd spend the majority of the year on the sideline if he performed as you make out.

With the off season a week old I was wondering who would be the first to put himself in a bad look situation. Toddy might come down hard on the big bloke.

He had better have already left Bali, else Toddy may not even have to decide his 2020 fate.

What sort of idiot would then post it on his own Instagram account. The fool deserves everything coming to him, as he had plenty of opportunities to stop, but instead went looking for plenty more, yet some want to make him out as some sort of hero for beating up 3 people half his size.

He'll most likely get a character reference from Toddy

 

[Tigerlily]

Yeah looks bad

What about the low life’s that film this stuff with the intention to either sell it to a news corp or post it social media.

 

[Tweed_Tiger]

The video footage should be on pornhub

 

[GNR4LIFE]

The dude was fighting 4 of them off, why is he the villain? Oh yeah, he plays for a team we don’t like.

 

[AL The Tiger]

Jesus those punches are vicious...

 

[Madge]

Probably thought one of them was Sio Siua Taukeiaho...

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Jesus he can throw them. Always looked like he had a demon or two loose upstairs.

 

[Russell]

I remember someone on here a few days ago saying he was a pansy.

Yeah right!!!!

 

[Madge]

I thought I was going to get hit next

 

[balmain boy]

If he's still over there he won't be coming home for a while. A long while. Surely he fled back to Australia asap after this happened
