The Mole: Bulldogs try to sign Eels gun
By The Mole
an hour ago

Canterbury want to sign Eels star Ryan Matterson for 2022 - and have taken a significant step towards their goal by linking up with NSW Cup team Mounties as their feeder club.

Playing for Mounties is none other than Ryan’s younger brother Dean, who starred in a weekend trial against Penrith.

A 23-year-old five-eighth, Dean is extremely close to Ryan, who is three years older, and the pair have a goal of playing together in the NRL.

The duo have played one match together - for the Roosters in a trial in 2018 - before going their separate ways.

Ryan went to the Tigers and now Eels, while Dean moved to Wyong Roos, Blacktown Workers and now Mounties.

The Bulldogs have placed Ryan at the top of their wish list for next year - and having his brother on board may prove a major step to achieving their goal.

That won’t happen cause dean matterson is a very ordinary footballer

Ryan’s a very ordinary bloke

PVL is looking to reintroduce 3 grades on game
day . What do you think

No matter what you do these days someone is offended

I cannot believe the number of flogs on this forum that want to give it to a kid making his debut which was probably the only game he has played all season in a badly beaten side we are to soft in attack and defence and need to be tougher in defence

The Wests Tigers are on the verge of signing former champion halfback Brett ‘Noddy’ Kimmorley to head up their pathways and junior development.

They hope it will ensure the next Campbelltown juniors of the calibre of James Tedesco, Jarryd Hayne and Israel Folau are captured and kept in their system.

The former NSW Blues and Kangaroos playmaker already has a tremendous knowledge of the game’s best young players through his coaching of emerging Blues for the NSWRL.

“We’ve refocused our strategy over the last couple of years,” Wests Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe said. “That means investing in pathways with the acquisition of someone like Noddy.

“He’s got a great reputation in the game and he’ll be outstanding.

“Imagine him working with young halves when we set up our academy.

“To have him talking to kids and their parents will be invaluable.”

The Wests Tigers have also signed one of Australian cricket’s top development strategists to work alongside Kimmorley.

Matt Betsey headed up cricket’s top coaching academy and has overseen the growth and progress of many youngsters now playing Sheffield Shield and Test cricket.

“These appointments are as much about retention as development,” Pascoe said. “We’re going along well. Our reserve grade side is sitting second, our 21’s are running first, our sponsorship and memberships are at record levels.

“Financially our balance sheet was minus $7 million — now it’s positive. This is why we can now go and invest in people like Noddy and Matt in such crucial roles.”

Friday night’s win over St George Illawarra has kept alive the Tigers’ hopes of playing finals football for the first time in 10 years.

We certainly appear to be doing a lot of things right off the field hopefully it won’t take to long to show results

Big Sports Breakfast saying with Madges extension the building blocks are falling into place with Adam Hartigan from Rorters system and Scott Woodward talent identification from Storm system on board things heading in the right direction for WT’S

@cleanskin said in Madge needs to go:

I voted yes but i want pascoe sacked first. He should not be shielded from some blame.
He isn’t good enough we need better management.

How many tackles did Pascoe miss? was he on the left or right side

Judging on tonight’s form we definitely dodged a bullet passing on Josh Mansour

@tiger_heart said in Please explain..:

why did we keep jamming in when a pass over the top was always a chance (or should I say left the door open) and we kept up the same in the second half?? Bizarre…

Talau is just not a first grader.

It has been Nofo’s move forever, sometimes its justified as we are out numbered.
I can distinctly remember 5+ situations were he has jammed on short sides for no reason and got caught out.

Nofa does it so often that I can only believe that he’s instructed to do it.

Well, according to Brandy, that was the message…

We would be the only team that can create an overlap for a team playing a man short

BRING BACK MARINA

Oh well go MATILDAS

How did mower boy not get 10 in the bin for that deliberate tackle on Seyfarth

We beat Argentina 2 zip in the opening soccer match, and whilst I will not normally watch the game, I make exceptions for our national side.

Keep watching Arnie has got a team of goers who can play the game.Argentina are a two time gold medallist power house and we beat them by play the game there was no fluke in the result

Does this mean Brisbane will be building a new Olympic stadium, similar to Homebush? Doubt Suncorp is equipped.

Goggle Brisbane Olympic Venues it gives a complete list of venues.
They are rebuilding the Gabba 55,000 capacity just for one.

@tigerwest said in Moses Mbye Super Duper Thread:

The 14 is also a good spot for him here, IMO. We get rid of him, who fills his role?

We carry Simpkin or someone on the Bench,

We will figure it out.

Mbye is good but 900K worth of good.

Not that good😂😂😂😂😂

@cultured_bogan said in Signing Suggestions & Rumours:

If there is any truth to the Mbye rumour, he must be moved on now.

I checked the Moses Mbye mega thread…didn’t see anything…

Brent Read reporting the story on triple m.supposedly Saints want him before 1st August deadline.Sticking point could be how much WT’S chip in reports saying last of contract is $900k.
Apparently both teams are in the same bubble in Brisbane so watch this space
I would say there will be a lot of shuffling going on the week leading upto 1st August

@dwight-schrute said in BRISBANE THE OLYMPIC CITY!!:

Get that up ya Sydney!

They were the only contender would have been😂😂😂😂😂 if they got beaten in a one horse race

Brandon Smith is off contract 2022 when we are able WT’S should throw an offer to him up to a Max 1.1m a season say 4 year deal by that time Packers gone Mbyes gone.
Harry Grant maybe Storms starting hooker by then with Smith peed off if we pushed hard enough may get him for 2022

I bet anyone that come next year everyone will be eating their words. TPJ is worth every cent and we could have started to build around him

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA…:baby_bottle:

WOW build your team around a player who has shown he doesn’t take orders to seriously and was virtually sacked by the BRONCOS you would have better luck building a team around Packer😂😂😂😂😂
