Ryan Matterson Ruled Out against Dragons

Ryan Matterson has been ruled out of tomorrow's clash against the Dragons due to ongoing concussion rehabilitation.. I'm not sure who is his replacement but I would suggest maybe Hipgrave.

The following is from the Eels Website:

Parramatta Eels second rower Ryan Matterson has been ruled out of tomorrow’s Round Five clash against the St George Illawarra Dragons suffering ongoing symptoms of concussion. 

The Club has been closely monitoring Ryan since the incident in Round Two and as a precaution he will miss tomorrow’s game. The Eels’ playing squad will be updated at 6:15pm.

  • Ray Price would be disgusted.

    • I doubt he would Grunta

       

  • I worry about Matt's long term prospects that's 3 concussions as a 1st grade player that have resulted in long spells on the sidelines I would not be surprised if he ends up having a shortened career 

    • Thinking the same thing.

  • If I were the club I wouldn't resign him.

    Take the money and buy someone else. It's a tough game but sometimes tough decisions need to be made for the benefit of the team.

    • They more than likely won't resign him due to his ongoing issues with concussion. It wouldn't surprise me if he actually retires early. Your health is more important than money.

  • It could very well be a case of sitting the rest of the year out if he feels constant complications. Though to be fair, i sort of prefer Papali'i at 12 more than Matterson at the moment.

  • he should wear a helmet

  • I would throw Cartwright into 12.

    leave Papali on the bench as he can come on and play prop.

    • I actually Carty is going to be more effective in the middle. He was definitely more effective in the middle last week in NSW Cup

"Thanks HOE. Outstanding work as always. Appreciate the work you put in.  A mate asked me if I'd go with him to Brookie to watch this game (he's a Manly fan). I said as much as I'd enjoy his company I'd rather use a grater on my nuts and dip them in…"
