Would be pretty happy to snag matterson but only for the right pricethe backrower we are chatting to is ryan matterson, we are still keen on him after the nikora deal
Cheaper than the KardashiansThat's only 72k per hole.
Would have him over Nikora but we don't need both. Teig is a lock for the other second row spot.Would be pretty happy to snag matterson but only for the right price
Supposedly but that's downright insane.I read that Keary's deal at the Roosters is back-ended and he'll be on 1.3 million next year. No idea whether this is just a wild stab in the dark by the journo, probably is.
Last "over the hill" half we got from them didn't turn out too bad.if the roosters chipped in half his wages id entertain keary
Keary and Hynes would be amazingif the roosters chipped in half his wages id entertain keary
It’s an amazing pack8. Bhu

That is a genuine premiership pack. Just don't know if we need to spend that money on Matto. **** it would be fun to watch though. So damn fit, fast and agile.

A mercenary with HIA issues... makes me want to overpay even less.I don't get the love for Matterson. I don't think he is anything special and he's shown himself to be a real mercenary over the years with demands for more money etc.
Tend to agree, not sure we need Matterson and Nikora, one or the other.It's good and you could definitely make it work but from a team balance perspective I'd rather

And spend the extra edge money elsewhere.
We've seen some great glimpses from Hunt this season and I expect he will be good bench prop next year.
Arguably without Tracey that bench is a bit 'middle-heavy' but McInnes has played wider this season when needed, Williams and Rudolf at times too.
With Matterson on bench how do you play him? Rest one of our 80 minute middles or our 80 minute 13?
You 100% could use him effectively in this way, but none of them individually need enough of a break to warrant an expensive back up.
I do think at this stage if we have Wilton and Nikora we do need another clear option as 3rd choice edge, but that could be a 16-24 quality player rather than a 1-15 quality player
(as in Matterson is good enough to start or surely in top couple of players on your bench vs 16-24 when you maybe scrape onto the bench or maybe are just game squad quality - I've never referred to a player in this way before so I hope it makes sense haha)

Yeah completely agree. For caps sake I'd rather keep Hunt over signing Matto at this stage.It's good and you could definitely make it work but from a team balance perspective I'd rather

He has been incredible over the last month.I don't get the love for Matterson. I don't think he is anything special and he's shown himself to be a real mercenary over the years with demands for more money etc.

Dale
Toby

Hunt
for next season already, I’m guessing no as we probably would keep Tolman & I’m assuming Fifs moves on to ESL or retires?
