I don’t like this signing at all. Players at 27 are who they are. He’s had Griffin, Flanagan as coaches who are good and played at good clubs Panthers and Sharks. Injury history, rumoured poor trainer and loves to party. He’s a light framed ball playing fullback who reads the game as good as anyone. Highly skilled player just a huge risk we shouldn’t take.

If its Souffs - different rules apply.

Pretty sure it is a preexisting, done before he signed his new contract. Pretty sure Toddy will sign off on this.

If its Tigers - different rules apply.

Pretty sure we will get knocked back by Toddy on Matulino.

In the interests of fairness, of course.

Very good timing for Tigers precedent was set by Inglis. They will approve Matulino and Burgess.

@pawsandclaws1 its great to say lets take Cam Murray ot Jai Arrow or even Kikau mentioned but none of this would work unless they genuinely wanted to come to our club and that wont be an easy task

Yes that’s why we are better off targeting a couple of the very best junior players on the cusp of the NRL that one of these clubs would usually prefer to keep.

Tom Amone from souffs is one that comes to mind

Tom Amone should have been starting for them at the back end of the season. He’s a very good player.

@jrtiger to us? I’ve read that Souths are trying to get him but would be a decent pick up.

going to sound pretty far fetched, but on St Helens forums and a couple of Super League supporter groups on Facebook a few people are saying he’s heading our way. was hoping someone in the know could clarify.

He’s a weapon strong prop who rips in. Very Un Tigerlike signing. We like Ryan O’Hara, Jason Cayless, Packer types.

@Spacecub said in Knee injury may force Matulino to hang up boots:

I was talking about this today with JRs mum and she was under the belief that matulino has been medically retired…has there been anything official from the club

Rumoured a while ago he has informed his team mates he was retiring.Matterson coming out seeking more money in light of this. Could be the case but don’t know.

Forget Matterson we need to sign Asofa Solomona video showing him belting 3 blokes doing the rounds in Bali. It’s wild he’s a machine. Best puncher I have seen in Rugby League.

What’s the point of having a punching machine - the game is for pansies these days - he’d spend the majority of the year on the sideline if he performed as you make out.

Don’t care if the world is full of Snow Flakes. Change the rules make every player sign a disclaimer if they want to play stating it’s a rough game that comes with violence and CTE and injuries are likely. The increased viewership would cover the insurance costs.

Benji is the captain of the team it doesn’t matter who does the media appearances. Mbye is a polished media guy so it works well.

Strong rumour Marsters was released to further top up Mbyes contract.

Sure it wasn’t to top up Reynolds’ contract?

It was to support Packers bonus…

Actually to provide for Jason Taylor’s retirement fund post coaching.

That HAS to be a joke, yes?
