  Too bad for Matto. Good to see Stoney on the team sheet again.

    A big call re Matto and no reason on the eels webb site either, BA had said he should be right for this match, but I would suggest that he's being cautious with him rather than rush him back too soon, lets not forget the medical staff have a say in this also.

    Given the way the sharkies play in particular a couple of the coconuts there would not like to see him taken out early by one of the opposition.

    
    Doubt Stone will let the side down though.

      Come to think of it, I wouldn't be surprised if the thumb is the issue here and not the concussion.

  good to see Stone get a run again. Matterson must be pretty bad with concussion or is it something else.

    I assume they're being cautious with Matto due to his concussion history. I think he was out for 8 weeks at one point when he was playing for the Roosters. The problem with concussion is that recovery is pretty much just rest and symptoms can come and go. He could be fine one day and then have a headache the next. It's an injury we still don't fully understand it's better to err on the side of caution with his return.

      Good points Super. I wasn't aware of his previous history with concussion. It's certainly very dangerous and I agree it needs to be monitored.

        It was also an issue with him at Wests and the dispute he had with Madge after a concussion he got, with Madge wanting him to play and Matto was not ready.
