Matto was only 1 year into a 3 year deal, legally he shouldn't have even been talking with other clubs let alone signing with them. He went from being a fringe first grader at Chooks to being a fringe Origin player in one season. He then valued himself much higher than the 3yr deal he signed. He seemed to also take exception to being asked to play when not fully recovered from injury.All these players except Benji were enticed away from the Weststigers by lucractive payments, which we could not or would not match - due to our salary cap. The figures reported were way over what most ppl on this forum thought was fair value. I don’t blame the players one bit. I personally, would have offered Matterson more, like Weststigers did. However, Parramatta offered more over an extended period. He could not wait to be rewarded by our club. Go Weststigers!
