Congrats Justin, very happy the club didn't go down the Nathan Brown path.

Pretty awesome stuff.

That's so dope. A genuine WT junior. Let's go baby!

Just going off last year and some silly high hits I'm his game. Not sure how you get him ready.

FB is a cesspool.

I can honestly say i don't have an account and have never been on it.I am sure it is an age thng but i am even more sure i have missed nothing worthwhile

I hope Matamua has now learnt the rules as he played 2 NRL games this year and could be argued he cost us a win in both .First Parra win by 8 pts and scored 12 pts while he was in sin bin . I felt the decision harsh and lose to Penrith by 2 and we had try disallowed because he as lead runner took out defender .We would have scored anyway but rules are rules .
Apart from that Welcome to the big time Justin hope you have a great 2023

Looks more up to it physically today. Very good hands, already looked to be organising attack, also good defensively. Hope to see more of him.

Having him and pole together was pretty dynamic.

 

[Demps]

Look like a whole new player with the haircut & less weight.

Did his job.
Like to see more of him in first grade.

Hopefully they stick with him for the rest of the year and give him two stints in each game.

Thought he gassed out very quickly. A lot of walking within the first ten minutes he was on but came good at the end. Needs a big off-season and he could be our ball playing 13.

I hope he gets more game time and James gets more game time also.

 

[Bellend]

Leaving James and Matamua to come off the bench for the rest of the season will greatly benefit them and the club next season.

Well I think you could put Pole on the bench along with Klemmer, and start with James and Stef/ Bole in front row with Matamua at 13.

Matamua looked good today but still not physically ready for regular first grade. Needs to get in the gym and work on fitness, but a great prospect nonetheless.

Some forwards are physically ready earlier, but I wouldn’t expect him as a starting regular in first grade for another year or 2.
