This article states we have yet to make an offer to Ryan Matterson, in fact it says we are happy for him to go. However since Niukore and Papali'i are set to leave in 2023 is it important to perhaps keep Matterson at same or less money? Concussions have played a massive part in his last two seasons which could lead to a wary market for him.
It also mentions that Luke Garner is on his way out of Wests to accomodate the re-signing of Luciano Leilua and perhaps Parramatta could make a play for him, does not directly link him just a mention which is useless but hey something to discuss.

Can't argue with the way you've put that mate, maybe offered reduced money then.
Pride would lead to rejection.
No.
Matterson is shit.
Matterson is damaged goods. Poor performance and concussion prone.
Offer him minimum wage contract for 1 year or 2. No more. Take it or leave it.
Don't forget that we have a year to find replacements for Marata and Papa.
No. We need to find 2 x edge forwards that can hit holes like a freight train and defend extremely well. They go for about $600k a year these days.
Correct
Yep, exactly and we just let them go for similar.
Matterson is the worst used player in the squad, the bloke has heaps of skill but rarely gets to use it. But but but but Chase Da Collision.
He rarely gets to use it because he's on the sideline for extended periods.
