Madge on Matty Johns now

[ElleryHanley]

In the studio / one on one interview.

About to start...

 

[WT2K]

Just confirmed Billy Walters signing

Just confirmed Billy Walters signing

Yeah and sounds like he sees him as a hooker that can play in the halves.

 

[851]

Disappointed to miss the 8, most proud of our defense.
Flogging by Parra at Bankwest most disappointing.
Said he got Benji fitter than he has been.
Last weekend, said it was special and crazy day, Farah wasn’t supposed to play.
Should have been able to handle last week, but we failed.
Grub handled himself well, probably be here next year.
Matto signed for 2 years, not going, good relationship with him, will work through any problems with him.
Said Walters is signed, most likely a 9.
Roosters best team in the comp.

 

[ElleryHanley]

Terse re Matto...said he did not see it coming. Says they will work through it next two weeks.

Josh here for two more years "unless something changes"...i.e. guarded on that topic also.

Seems to rate Billy Walters highly as a 9.

 

[ElleryHanley]

Fairly sure he also said "lots of young players will also get a chance" in the Billy Walters bit.

 

[Madge]

Thanks for the updates guys.

Like the idea of playing Walters at 9.

 

[balmain boy]

Thanks for the updates guys.

Like the idea of playing Walters at 9.

Has he ever even played there before? Seems to be almost exclusively a 5/8

 

[Madge]

@balmain-boy Played there in the lower grades and a bit in QLD cup.

Has the defensive ability to play in the middle, and has a handy kicking game, with Robbie hopefully here next season, he can help him out with the specifics of the hooking role. Hopefully he has the motor for it, if not I think it will be shared between him and Reynolds.

 

[clokan]

@balmain-boy Madge said "I've had gone back and had a look at this games, he's is definitely a classy 9"

 

[Curaeus]

Is there a link to this?

 

[Bob]

Didn’t sound great about matto. Or am I just being pessimistic?

You are just being pessimistic.

Need Kayo or fox mate

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Geez what else could he say on Matto.

 

[earl]

He said the same thing about Reynolds and Matterson. I assume it's a statement designed to cater for whatever happens and the club wants Reynolds gone to help the cap and Matterson to stay.

Those who missed the interview Madge predicted today’s eels game would be same score as when the eels thrashed us.

 

[Curaeus]

@tony-soprano thanks!

Don't think Maguire is a fan of Siebold's.
