This pack is fierce…

8\. Matulino
9\. Liddle
10\. Packer.
11\. Lawrence
12\. McQueen
13\. Taylor

14\. Sue
15\. Vete
16\. Aloiai
17\. Twal

We aren't far off that. Sue to me is average but he does perform at times. McIlwrick will be there as well as an interchange for Liddle. I'd like Vete as well.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, lol…

Expect a new & improved Sue in 2018 - he will really shine.

With the addition of Muts & Packer, he'll go to a whole new level, as will those two mentioned.
All friends and will really make the most of playing together.

197 metres and 31 tackles in a losing team today. Can't wait for him to pull on our guernsey.

And all from the bench. Only half watched the game, but he made a big difference when he came on.
 
Matulino will be the best signing we've made since Ellis. He's who I'm most excited about in 2018.
 
Love, how many of our supporters almost wet themselves when someone off the bench of a crap team, has a reasonable game, against a team that has been crap for three years.
He might be ok. But today's not a great reference .
He's no Ellis.

Difference? They got thrashed by bloody Newcastle!

Did you watch the game? Newcastle were twelve nil up and well and truly on top before he came on and then he got his team going forward and back in the match.

If a bloke that runs with purpose makes a couple of hundred odd meters and thirty plus tackles does not make a difference to a match, then I struggle to think what else does.

You probably shared the same view when we signed Ellis.
So many around here love to burst bubbles. Let the supporters be hopeful, I'd rather that than everyone being gloomy and showing no excitement from 2018.
 
Matulino gets a quick play the ball more often than not even after engaging defenders..His defence is also quality after watching closely since signing he does a good job in the ruck…

He will be a leader in our pack....
 
Big Ben was excellent this afternoon. Constantly bent the line whilst getting quick PTB and defended very well in a badly beaten side. Unlike our forward leader, you would love to take the next hit up after Big Ben every time.

I believe Woodsy will be taking the hit up after Matulino.
He is waiting for the us to arrive from Belmore to Concord. Will the driver turn up?

Nice. I'll settle for the bus going a different route.

I never said he was an Ellis, I said he would be our best signing since Ellis. He can't do it all by himself at the Warriors, but the stats from today speak for themself. And It's not just one game, he's been just about their best since coming back from injury.
You're having a laugh if you don't think Matulino is going to have a positive impact on our pack.
 
I didn't say that you said he was an Ellis.
And I didn't say he wouldn't have a positive effect on our pack.
It wouldn't take much to be a positive on a pack like ours , especially when you take Woods out of it

Matulino of all the players we have bought looks the most likely but it will be just like the Warriors if the others dont perform around him - he will look good in an ordinary side. Plenty of talent at the Warriors but what a disappointing season.

I agree with you Fraze, I think Matulino will be a big positive for us next year, providing he stays injury free.

I'm glad people are seeing how good he is - his stats are fantastic and he often has to carry a lazy Warriors pack on his own, much like Woods has had to do here for years. Yet one is considered to be a great prop, the other crap. I guess the grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence.

All I can say is that it would be awesome to have them both here with us next season!
