Official Matt Ikuvalu

[HaroldBishop]

He said in post interview that he had an injection at half time. I am guessing that helped.

Someone gave him a pep talk and the tide turned.

Rumour doing the rounds it destroyed your dream of becoming an olympic beach sprinter.

Does anyone know what has happened to Matt Ikuvalu? Is he injured? Can't find anything anywhere

Someone in here said they spoke to him and he was managing a pec injury.
Agree it's a bit weird he hasn't made the NRL casualty ward listing.
We've had some other top 30 players not make it either (Berrell for example) but Ikuvalu is a much bigger profile than him and has played NRL this season.
Also had quite a lot of our players who do get listed go up with TBCs so maybe club isn't really passing any info on and leaving it to NRL to figure out

Whats happenned to this guy? Guys been out for 10 weeks

 

[Gumby]

No idea but I’d be swapping him for Katoa if he’s fit and available.

 

[Deleted member 3365]

Yeah Katoa has dropped off a bit lately. But not sure if it warrants dropping him to the Jets.

Agree. Give him a few weeks with Jessie back and see if he can get his mojo back

 

[Thresher]

Katoa seems to go best as an instinct player. He's low on confidence and a bit clunky lately.

Almost like he's had so much information crammed into his head that he's delaying his response by calculating the options.

Is matt injured still?

Was at the Jets game on Sunday and Ikuvalu was saying he strained his calf at training. Missed this game as a precaution should be good to go next week

Hmm I would say we will definitely run Tracey on the wing then, with Talakai back centre.

The time out and slight injury concern probably to big a risk when we have Tracey already playing and part of our winning squad

We may well find out how much Fitzy loves Matt or whether he see’s Connor as our third choice wing with today’s team
