Because they want to be here
This is the only acceptable reason. Madness to ask this question before we’ve even played a game.
If the question was along the lines of "who is the best WestsTigers backrow/centre ?" I could understand your point. But it's not.
Recruitment has to work this stuff out before they sign players
The club had no choice but to release Matterson. He backed them into a corner. It wasn’t a choice for them to have the Luilea’s over Matterson.
The WTs did have a choice. Matterson was only in his first year of a three year contract.
This happens to clubs on occasions, take Cronulla for example.
You’re wrong. It was either hold him to the contract and run the risk of him poisoning the minds of teammates, or cut their losses and move on.
LOL. You’ve just described a choice.
Only if you want to split hairs. Anyone with a brain knows there was only one choice and the club made it.
I have a brain and I believe the club handled this very very poorly. Your right there was one choice , you stay contracted to the tigers unless the eels give us a player we want.
They did. They gave us Luciano. It's just you can't see that.
Did Luciano play for the eels?? That’s a Donald Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon special. Or you saying we only got Luciano because we released matterson? Which again is incorrect because we still have money to spend.
I'm saying, the club and Matterson, wrightly or wrongly decided that it was beneficial for both parties to move on. Once that was acheived, we were able to move with genuine intentions to attract a player that we figured was a a good match and offered him a good deal. Parramatta are a-holes. Everyone knows that. But would we have gone for Lucy if we still had Matterson? Maybe yes, maybe no. When it was clear that he wasn't a good fit for the team it was time to move on and we did. We don't need people like Matterson. Parramatta did us a favour. Getting bogged down in that crap serves no purpose.
No that’s not what you were saying. And what I’m saying is that we shouldn’t have rolled over for nothing. We should have said you want matto we want the parra forward that’s signed to us next year. We release matto you release him. We rolled over and they didn’t , so they now have both.
Lucy has nothing to do with this, because we had no salary cap issues at the time and he plays for the dragons , so the two are unrelated.
Thanks for informing me of what it was I was saying.
