Good news if he was the right price.

Do they tell us how much for or is that usually leaked?

That means some coach sees value in Matt..questions is who?

Also, Robbie retweeted this 30 mins ago so he is obviously a supporter of Matt too
 
Great decision he has had a good two years and actually has a go.

Would be the perfect bench player if lote and korobete are playing well. Assuming the new coach wants to keep a back on the bench

Hopefully he's the only Matt the club signs

makes you wonder who makes the recruitment decisions if there isn't a coach..or maybe a coach has been selected and no announcement can be made until Tim leaves. The other alternative is that Stephen is now fully in charge of recruitment

Well look at it this way

Which coach got him here in the first place ??

Folkes

Does this possibly answer some questions ??

It is deserved ,he would be handy as a back up for injuries Congratulations Matt
 
Good news….but yeh it does throw up some questions.
WTs have such a long way to go.
Glad Humpty dont build apartments....he'd start with the roof
 
works his butt off and is the most difficult person in the team to tackle. Also haven;t heard him whinge about anything and, apparent from another thread recently, seems to have a good solid Fulton/Gibbs'esque sense of humour :slight_smile:
Has obvious limitations but earnt another season.
Good on him.

give him a go in the forwards - great yardage and quick play the ball

The extra defensive workload may nullify that. Utility value off the bench IMO. I'd be looking to start Koroibete and Nofoaluma on the wings next year. He deserved his contract extension though.
 
Will never poo-poo the signing of someone who puts their body on the line and does the dirty work for the team.

Welcome back for another year Matty.
