Matto open to stay in England

Posted by Axel on August 6, 2025 at 1:44pm

From Zero tackle this morning:

Basically, Matto is saying that he is open to staying in England beyond this year. Whilst he's still contracted to the Eels for 2026, his future remains uncertain.
Apparently, he moved to England to regain enjoyment in his football (LOL).
He stated he's focused on the short term and has left future contract discussions to his manager. Parramatta hasn't confirmed if they’ll release him for 2026, but given he was out of their plans earlier in the season, it's possible they may consider it.

God I hope he signs a long term deal there it opens up cash and a spot in the top 30.

Fingers crossed keep enjoying your footy and playing well your doing everyone a favour.

  We have replaced them with other players but, you'd like to think, we should have some money available for 2026 at least.
  
  How much forward loading can we do? Most of our players (who are actually playing) would currently be on small contracts.
  
  Iongi, Russell, Hawkins, Guymer, Smith, Doorey, Samrani on not much. Walker, Addo-Carr, Williams, Tuilagi, Moretti, Penisini a bit more. Only Moses, Paulo, Da Silva and Lomax should be on good sized contracts.
  
  If Matterson and Lane are off our books, with what we no longer need to pay ...surely we can buy some good players.

    You think we can im thinking with all these players leaving we should have at least $300.000 or more
