That bench is depressing. Move Matterson to the bench and play him front row.
What happened to him last week. He was named @18 then got scratched. Was he injured?
Nah not injured, Ryles is teaching him a lesson, whilst the fans are in the foetal position in tears. 😭
i am surprised they let him post Frankie. Sack the clinic! Mental health is a major problem for the new government.
Matto in the team is depressing, He doesn't want to be here or injure his finger nails why persist..
Dolphins to win by 10+
Based on what? No JMK, no Saifiti, coming to Sydney where they are not good travelling and we stood up to Cronulla?
Not saying we are morals but we are favourites and should be favourites
Explain why we should be favourite when we coming last and got worst defence and probably worst attack
We are at home, against a Dolphins team with no JMK or Saifiti, plus Dolphins record at Commbank and Sydney in general is deplorble. They also have no Plath either. They have a few missing in their pack. Full strength they are favourites.
Also coming off a poor performance compared to us who weren't too bad v Cronulla who is a better team than the Roosters who beat the Dolphins.
I hope we win this week and against Newcastle next week because its be my very first time at Newcastle
Go Parramatta
