Give me Matulino over Woods any day of the week.
Runs with purpose with an awesome offload.
Majestic signing in terms of value $$$

 

[simonthetigerrrr]

That offload yes please.

 

[WT2K]

Hopefully he brings the offload with him 😏

Just gave moses a bit of a push and had a word to him.

Matulino is a freak of a player im so happy we have signed this legend

Played tough tonight. Offloads were handy. High shot wasn't a high

Good signing … firs "real prop" we have had at this club in long time.
With Packer ..... they will make a great combo.
All we need is one more decent 2nd rower.

 

[WT2K]

Looking forward to having Ben in WT colours next season! Ben and Packer will be a great combo for us.

So the one who has played for Australia and Origin for the last few years isn't a 'real' prop :crazy

 

[hank37w]

No.
He's a big pillow.

 

[Tweed_Tiger]

NZ looked much better when he was on the field.

Looked like he had some kind words to say to Moses :smiley:

Obviously he is for you and Laury.
You both are welcome to have him in your team.
I've seen some great props in mine time and Woods is not one on my list.

I like that Matulino is angry…it means something to him...

Not on last Wednesdays form.

I thought he was very good against broncos last week too.

Matulino is only a few games back from a long injury he will be a great buy for us. Will improve massively playing with Packer. We need another damaging lock/front row option and our forward pack is set. I think Paasi or NAS would be ideal.

 

[Seantice]

If we snag adam elliot or someone simiar I dont mind Et playin at lock. We need another prop like paasi though. Our go forward must not stop once natulino and lacker come off.

If we don't sign a better 2nd row option and ET does play on an edge then Twal might be a good option at lock (in the Finucane mould) given he has a high work rate and a big motor. Start with:

8\. Matulino
10\. Packer
12\. Taylor
13\. Twal

ET can move to lock when Twal is subbed and we can bring on an impact player for the edge like Marsters.
