What the Tigers linked to a player, surely you jest!!

Don’t get too excited, it is the Mole after all. That said, I think us chasing Matterson was a foregone conclusion. Whether we actually get him or not, we’ll that’s another story.

Not excited but optimistic at least.

Class player.
 
I did say to him last week he should join us… now look an article!
Hope he listens 😊 can cover a few positions to!
 
Matterson is too slow for a back,and more of the same for us in the forwards…a Chris Lawrence type.Another roosters cast off.
We don't need another one of these...will probably have Fonua/marsters in the back row along with Chee Kam before next year ends.Got Garner as well

Souths and Cronulla interested as well, does not bode well for us, but you never know, we sure could use him though.

Matterson is 194cm and 107kg, a fair bit larger than Rowdy, 6cm taller and 7kg heavier and he still has some pace, I don't get your agument

Haven’t seen this discussed elsewhere, WTs paid tribute to departing players - Sue, Lolohea, Watene-Zelezniak, Grant, Godinet, Naiqama and Bailey Sironen.

Yes, I saw that. I was hoping Rochow and McQueen might have been in that group too. Doesn't mean they're not leaving, it probably means they haven't done a deal as yet.

Lets hope Rochow/Mcqueen get a gig elsewhere we need better options in the 2nd row than them

Didn't realise he was that big tbh..sure doesn't play like it.Reminds me of Sirro jnr …built like Tarzan...plays like Jane
 
Matterson is a huge upgrade at right edge backrow over MCK, Rochow etc. we need targeted signings where we are weak.
Edge forward, Prop, Left Centre would transform our side if we can get solid players.
We have to do this until our junior pipeline starts coming through as free agency is not where we want to be we don’t attract top talent.
