OFFICIAL: Ben Matulino to join Wests Tigers

[earl]

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.

We need another gun forward. If it's an edge backrower than ET at lock will probably be fine. If we get a prop than we have to play ET on the right edge.

We can't get done in the forwards again.

 

[Harvey]

It will be up to Ivan where he plays, but I would prefer him on the edge, with guys like Felise, Twal and Sue considered as the lock.

While you want a big body there, one of the boppers needs a bit of athleticism.

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.

Agree, I think this is the best option with who we have so far. A big impact prop off the bench would be good too.

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

Mataulino having a great game, him and Packer will be awsome

 

[WT2K]

Ben's having a great game vs the Titans

[Tacky]

Hands up those that tipped the Warriors :smiley:

 

[Tweed_Tiger]

Wouldn't mind Albert Vete either subbed with Ben

 

[851]

Jinxed him, he has gone for a HIA, don't know if he is coming back

Wouldn't mind Albert Vete either subbed with Ben

That is the rotation the warriors are using now

 

[Newtown]

Albert Vete is the forward Wests Tigers really need to make their forward pack a serious force. Is he already signed with the Warriors?

Not signed in 2018

I love his offload. Will be refreshing to see one of our prop's looking for an offload as opposed to standing in the tackle and seizing up like he's having neck spasms.

 

[Tacky]

Matulino back out for the second half.

 

[Tweed_Tiger]

He is getting through some tackles.

Mataulino has popped some great off loads today

 

[fergiefurr]

matulino was the warriors best against the eels last week imo

i havent seen any of the game today but peter sterling was fapping over his performance today on triple m just then

 

[Tacky]

I don't know why but, Kata doesn't look right to me without his top knot.

Yes …but remember Adam Blair

what about Blair? Matulino runs it straight, Blair always puts the handbrakes before impact or does a little shimmy
