      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

      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

    • RE: Dad Humour

      I know I shouldn’t have done this, but I am 83 years old and I was in the McDonald’s drive-through this morning and the young lady behind me leaned on her horn and started mouthing something because I was taking too long to place my order. So when I got to the first window I paid for her order along with my own. The cashier must have told her what I’d done, because as we moved up she leaned out her window and waved to me and mouthed “Thank you.”, obviously embarrassed that I had repaid her rudeness with kindness. When I got to the second window I showed them both receipts and took her food too. Now she has to go back to the end of the queue and start all over again,

      Anyone who ever doubted MOMO’S ability to be a regular first grader those doubts should finally be put to rest given his chance at the Storm he has scored in both games and the try he scored against the Rorters and the number of players he beat to score was brilliant.I have said this before about MOMO he’s an unfashionable player but he can find the try line

      From 2014:

      https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/home-truths-why-playing-at-big-venues-pays-off-for-sydney-clubs-20140426-zr05p.html#ixzz31MVgn900

      WESTS TIGERS – Leichhardt Oval, Campbelltown Sports Stadium, ANZ Stadium

      LEICHHARDT OVAL

      Capacity: 20,000

      Expenditure: Operational costs: $65,000 (Ground rental, hiring of the big screen, ushers, security, police, cleaning and waste removal).

      Revenue

      Ticket sales: $200,000 for a sell-out crowd at Leichhardt Oval. There is a budgeted difference in average ticket price between Leichhardt and Campbelltown, with about a $4-a-head higher return at Leichhardt. Undercover seats at the Leichhardt ground are scarce, therefore the higher premium charge.

      Corporate: $55,000 (capacity of 550 at approximately $100 a head)

      Merchandise: Roughly worth $1.20 to $1.50 a head ($35,000 in round five)

      Signage: Only one stand for signage opportunity not in television range.

      Average crowd: 14,279 for the past three seasons (five of the past 13games against Sydney teams).

      CAMPBELLTOWN SPORTS STADIUM

      Capacity: 20,000

      Expenditure: Operational costs: $70,000 (ground rental, hiring of the big screen, ushers, security, police, cleaning and waste removal).

      Revenue

      Ticket sales: $170,000 for a sell-out crowd at Campelltown.

      Merchandise: Roughly worth $1.20 to $1.50 per head ($16,000 in round six for a crowd of just more than 6000)

      Corporate: $47,000 (capacity of 470 at appx $100 a head)

      Signage: Greatest opportunity for signage sales of all three venues because the club has 100 per cent inventory. However, appeal is lower because games are rarely on free-to-air television.

      Average crowd: 13,256 for the past three years. (Six of the past 13games against Sydney teams)

      ANZ STADIUM

      Capacity: 82,000

      Expenditure – Operational costs: $10,000-$15,000

      Revenue

      ANZ Stadium: In excess of $125,000 average guarantee.

      Ticket sales: $0 (ANZ Stadium receive the money from ticket sales. There is a profit-share agreement in place for when all operational costs, including gate receipts, are met. This is an incentive for the club and venue to maximise crowds and receive an equal split.)

      Merchandise: Budget for $1.50 a person, with average crowd attendances budgeted for 22,000 a game. On Easter Monday, as the away team, the club sold $16,000 worth of merchandise outside the stadium. The club was not entitled to merchandise rights at the ANZ Stadium and had to sell outside the ground).

      Corporate: Estimated $70,000 (maximum capacity in excess of 1000)

      Signage: Shared inventory for big screen and signage.

      Average crowd: This is the first year of a new deal at ANZ Stadium. The Tigers averaged 18,018 at Allianz Stadium (one game at the SCG) during the past three years. Ten of the 12 games were against Sydney teams, the other two were against the Broncos. Their only home game at ANZ Stadium this year attracted 20,061.

      Wests Tigers: The Tigers played some games at ANZ Stadium between 2005 and 2008, but in 2009 the club’s former administration signed a deal with Allianz Stadium to play four games a year at the venue. The club decided against extending its stay in the city despite being offered $100,000 a game to play at Allianz Stadium.

      They are now in the first year of a 10-year deal with ANZ Stadium worth close to $500,000 for four games with the potential to play up to six games a year. The club put up an online poll before moving to ANZ Stadium, with 51per cent of fans voting in favour of the Olympic Park venue compared with 49 per cent at Allianz. However, the club believes it has more of a connection with the west rather than the city, plus it provides an opportunity to offer cheaper entry-level memberships worth $50 for eight games at ANZ Stadium (four home games and four away games with reciprocal membership rights). They now work in partnership with ANZ Stadium to promote the game, whereas at Leichhardt and Campbelltown they are the sole promoters.

      ‘‘The more games played at ANZ Stadium, the more leverage the game and the venue has with state and federal government to consistently upgrade and develop not only the facility but the precinct to provide customers an improved match-day experience,’’ Tigers chief executive Grant Mayer said. While some details of the finances of each club are private and confidential, Mayer believes sharing this information is beneficial for the game to drive greater commercial benefits for each club.

      ‘‘If the clubs pooled resources and negotiated as one, then our buying power is magnified exponentially and that increases the commercial return for the clubs,’’ Mayer said.

      Its a false comparison and pretty much reinforces the case to play at Leichhardt and Campbelltown.

      The $125,000 “average guarantee” (I believe it is closer to $100K now) is based on playing smaller crowds (that ANZ would LOSE money on) at Leichhardt and Campbelltown. What do you think would happen to that “average guarantee” if you said to ANZ (Stadiums NSW), “yeah but we also want to play another 6 games at your place, but you will lose money on each of them”? The guarentee would go down, naturally. Its business.

      Seriously dont see why its an issue. The current situation works well for all parties and we wouldnt win a single extra game if we played all of our games out of ANZ.

      South’s and the dogs have played most their games there for years. Roosters at SFS, donkeys at Suncorp It works.

      Does that mean it cant be done better? Do you think that if Redfern and Belmore met NRL specs they wouldnt take NQ or Titans games there if they could make money and keep fans happy?

      Dogs have been taking 1 game a year to Belmore, not last year though, 1 game a year be ok.

      I don’t see the cowboys taking games to dairy farmers.

      COWBOYS have a state of the art new stadium they’ll be going no where is dairy farmers still standing.Belmore is good enough to support one game a year playing surface is fine amenities sufficient.

      Redeveloping the old Lidcombe Oval would be an ideal option but geographical location not ideal to close to Stadium Australia I believe a new State of the Art Stadium at Liverpool would solve a lot of problems and cater for the ever expanding population of the South West or another possibility could be looking at a new Stadium around Badgerys Creek once infrastructure is in place their talking 2026 getting to there via M5 & M7 would be easy

      I live in Liverpool and would love a purpose built stadium here for WT to use as a home ground. There’s a lot of upside to the concept. But, in all honesty, I think relocation to Perth is more likely.

      I live near it but am in Liverpool most times than not and I can’t find where there could be a stadium built that is worth it, only place is that field near whitlam centre but that’s it and I dont think that is viable option tbh.

      That’s where the redevelopment will take place somewhere towards the old council building was.

      if the naysayers are watching this WE NEED REYNOLDS

      Naysayers ? That’s an interesting way to look at it . I saw a guy get to his kicks , and shift early to benji and Lattrell .
      I didn’t see anything worth 1 mil a year . Which is what it would cost .

      Would it? $1.4 mill over 2 years is the current offer.

      He’d be worth that.

      What do we do with brooks ? Offload to the boys ? Also what do we do in 2024 ? Is madden gonna wait ? Is there a junior coming through ? Not saying I hate it . Just there’s a lot to sort out , the future 3 years from now the most important . Plus you all know I’m pro brooks .

      The question is not what do we do with Brooks but what does Brooks do for us
      Likely answer : More of the same
      We need to be looking for better
      Wether that’s 2,3 years or 4 years it doesn’t matter
      I like Brooks loyalty but it has not helped us
      2 years from a quality player like Reynolds is better than 4 more years of Brooks
      Aren’t we all sick of waiting
      I’ll be in a retirement home soon
      Brooks really needs to show more over the next 6 weeks
      If he can’t then we must go hard for Reynolds

      Unfortunately after last night’s performance I think souths will have to re sign Reynolds or the supporters will march just like they did to get back in to the league

      Did I just see Reynolds going down to Rusty’s farm

      Look at the players we have lost and their calibre to understand the issue. But it is easier to blame Brooks.

      It’s hard to blame anyone else for Brooks performances except himself?

      Exactly, we hear this all the time, MBye over paid and useless, Packer lazy reserve grader, AJ dud signing, BJ fat and lazy, Tommy Talau disappointing send him packing, MCK nuffie, Twal, Plodder, Tamau retiring on us, Joffa not we need, but Brooks, it’s not his fault, give me a break. Why does he get a free pass when everyone else needs to be moved or held to account

      I get why people want him to do well, but come on enough already. It was Farahs fault, no it was be benjis fault , its the coach, it’s the forwards, now it’s the backs. He has come out and said it’s his team. He’s the main man. If he can’t deliver time to cut our losses.

      You are ranting and not making any valid arguments.

      I thought I made heaps of valid points. Brooks didn’t do well because

      1. Farah stifled him and service was too slow
      2. Benji was the dominant half and Brooks was too shy

      He’s been through 3 coaches and no finals with any.
      Best forward pack we have had in years.

      My main point is no more excuses. He is our guy. , he is the man in control. Step up Brooks and seize your opportunity or it’s time to move on. I watched the game with 10 blokes who go for 3 different teams and not one of them would have Brooks in their team.

      Mitchell Pearce played 10 years at the Roosters and most of that time was NSW’s half. Roosters punted him for Cronk and won two GF’s in a row. That’s the difference a champion half makes. Reynolds is next level to Brooks.

      This x 100

      If that argument is supposed to support Reynolds it’s an odd analogy considering that after 10 years at South’s they are prepared to let Reynolds go - like the Roosters did with Pearce! Just sayin.

      You don’t get it, do you?

      Yeah I get it you have Brooks at the bottom of the food chain when it comes to half backs.
      I guess we will never know what impact Cronk would have had in a team with no rep players like Brooks has, because he never played in one
      As for the other two both served their clubs well and played a role in securing premierships with great players around
      them.

      You saw how well Benji played last night outside Reynolds. He looked like a rep player. We haven’t seen that since 2011. Go back through, let’s say, the last ten premiers. The common thread is Cronk, Maloney, Munster, Thurston, Keary, dominant halves who know how to play football. You can interchange players around them but as long as one of those players is in the team you’re going to win more than you lose.

      See I think Benji played just as well with us on numerous occasions last year too, along with the errors he has in his game that are still there, but were intolerable for some. Our problem wasn’t scoring last year it was defending and playing for 80mins.
      I agree with you that a great half back is an assest to any team who wants success,il especially the ones you have named, but can’t think of one successful team that didn’t have a whole lot of quality players around their halfback to make that success possible. At the same time I’m not making excuses for Brooks deficiencies as a player - just don’t think he is soley responsible for the position we are in - ( and or our recruitment choices ) - and we will need more players to significantly improve, and add a few to break the cycle of underachieving - with or without Brooks.
      A big day for him tomorrow…and no doubt the the focus will be well and truly on him.

      Yep, fingers crossed for tomorrow. Let’s hope with a few “easier” games the next few rounds we get a chance to gel and get some combinations going.

      I don’t reckon souths next week is gonna be too easy. I’m expecting a knock down, drag out fight. Team will be fired up to go toe to toe with benji.

      we will get flogged by souths by 30 at least I reckon

      South will put 50 on us.

      100

      in the first half

      Hahahahaha. The Wests Tigers are just as likely to come out and have a blinder this week.

      Disagree with the conclusion.

      I’m sure many will.

      Neither Stadium Australia or the SFS are appropriate for our use.

      In your opinion.

      One of them we average less than a quarter of the capacity and the other is in the Eastern Suburbs. A side called Wests playing in the Eastern Suburbs is just stupid. I also don’t see how that is any less the Roosters’ stadium than Bankwest is Parramatta’s.

      Again in your opinion. Myself and others have a different view. Western Sydney Stadium is in the heart of Parramatta, the leagues club is right next door. Rugby Leagues fans from everywhere know it is Parramatta’s home ground. You only need to walk up Church Street to know. SFS is in far more neutral territory as is Stadium Australia.

      The SFS is in the Eastern Suburbs, don’t let the name change fool you they are the Eastern Suburbs Roosters. Parramatta Leagues makes no difference as I don’t go there. Though I’m at Panthers regularly.

      I am actually hopeful the club will have a preferred venue in Parramatta soon.

      You may not go there but hundreds of others would which helps Parra Leagues Club revenue stream which in turn helps the Slimeys.
      SFS to far out of territory
      Stadium Australia would probably serve our needs but we would need to develop a top 4 team to ensure crowds are healthy and the stadium is not only 1/10 full.
      If government is true to their word a a new Stadium at Liverpool would be perfect .
      It’s in Wests Tigers Territory
      Would have latest technology and facilities
      Would be walking distance of railway
      Not far from M7 & M5
      Both Leagues Club if they could show there pro active side could organise buses that could return patrons to there venues.

      BRITS ON THE MOVE

      Super League centre Josh Simm has been offered to NRL clubs despite being on contract until the end of the 2022 season.

      The 20-year-old has only played four top-flight games for St Helens, but grabbed 30 tries in 20 Super League Academy, and joined Leigh on a short-team loan this week as he seeks more playing time at Super League level.

      His management is understood to be asking for a wage of $250,000.

      This guy has similar style to Momo scored a hatrick of tries in the first half in his latest $250000 BARGIN go get him Madge

      It seemed at the start of season Madge was hesitant playing Simpkin due to the unknown of how he would hold his own in defence. I’m not sure Liddle has been a force in that area. He makes his tackle but has no drive.
      Liddle’s service isn’t the best, think his bulking up has affected his crisp passing game he had when he was younger.
      Cleary our forwards are lacking energy.
      I can understand trying an alternative to this.
      Seeing how Simpkins looks playing with experienced players.
      Madge kinda hinted at the start of the year that the hooker role wasn’t set in stone.

      This is what’s surprising though.
      Liddle against the cowboys.
      57 tackles 1 miss.
      5 runs for 45 m
      1 try assist
      1 line break assist.
      Play the ball speed of 2.66s (quickest in the side).

      Is there a ball playing lock in the making?

      One cold knock on, one forward pass, 20 missed tackles in the preceding 4 games. 90kg wringing wet. No

      Simpkins hits and drives in defence as well. It’s humble pie I have to eat , but he’s clearly the better prospect , and I was 💯 wrong about Liddle . It’s a real shame . Hopefully at the dogs next year he can turn his career around .

      Who knows mate roosters need a 9

      I think we got Liddle from under the Rorters nose when he was playing for there feeder club on the Central Coast but as we all know injury stuffed him up.

      With the game being against Souffs this week I thought Brooksy would be given another chance putting an inexperienced half against Reynolds/Walker and Benji would have been suicidal with the 7 on his back may be he’ll go looking for Gayguy “Cattledog”. Apparently extra training/video day was called yesterday when normally a day off maybe a few things might have been sorted.
