Matterson to Centre

Posted by Wile E. Coyote on June 19, 2015 at 4:02pm

1. Matterson has a unique skill set for his size that would be a pity to lose - especially to Moanly2. Five-eight is covered and according to some he has failed to progress in this spot3. Lock is well covered4. We need a centre5. As someone has already posted, Matterson could make a great old fashioned ball playing centre - similar to Jamie Lyon or Takarangi - but better

He's only into his first year of a 3 year deal. There's no chance he'd be going anywhere soon.
Still only a kid 20 and I don't understand why some in here are underestimating his talent. IMO Matto has a massive future at Parramatta. Not at centre though, a lock 5/8th.
He'll start off the bench in 2016.

Can he tackle?

Sounds like you think he'd make a great inside centre.

He's definitely been asked to look else where... Whether or not it happens is another thing.

  Lol. If that's the case you'd have to consider Brad Arthur a dope of a coach. Thinking he was good enough to sign for 3 years, and in the space of 6 months saying he'll never make it.
  I have my doubts. Not unless there's been a major falling out. But I very much doubt that.

  If Brad doesn't have the last call on R&R, there's something wrong at the club.

  We have signed foran in the last 6 months and Corey Normans good form. Maybe they are doing what's best for him and letting him know there isn't a future for him in the halves at Parra.

  He is a few years from first grade.... can we not be happy with having depth? The dogs have showed us how a young star can push his way up... please don't let him go.

  How do we all know that he has been told to look elsewhere? Why are people stressing that the kid isn't playing first grade?? Jeez give matto a break he is 20 for god sake, let him mature and bring him through at 21-22 he is a good player trust me, if anyone saw Wenty game last week he was the one who was dangerous. Give him some time to develop
