  Possibly

  He's getting limited minutes, he may be carrying an injury as well. Who knows.

  Well there has only been one Martin Lang but Matagi was starting to remind me of the psycho after two rounds.
  Thankfully he is starting to tone down the ferocity of his hit ups.
  Not great theatre but at least he's still alive to tell the tales.

    Martin Lang the psycho is a good reference Frank.

  I doubt a coach would tell a player cut back on ferocity. Matagi hasnt really been a regular 1st grader at previous clubs so I think he is just getting used to the week in week out pressure of playing 1st grade.

    True - he will be up for a big one against his old club this weekend

    Comparing rounds 1 & 2 with 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 reveals a huge drop in intensity. He's been around the game for many  years now as well as spending 3 years in jail and he ain't a puppy. You'd think he's used to week in week out pressure. And sure facing the Taupau nut case would increase testosterone and it would make sense if he's carrying an injury. We all agree the drop in intensity happened but I'm stuffed as to why.

  LOL food for thought was it Kermit the Bog?

  Peni runs harder than any of our forwards including Ma'u. He also didn't drop the ball last year?
  What happened to Matagi? His runs don't have the ferocity of early rounds?

  There's a reason why he was a bench player at the other clubs. You can't turn a Volkswagen into a sports car by a coat of paint.

    So those first two rounds was the Volkswagen without a fresh coat of paint I witnessed? Was it the fuel additive?  Or was it all just a bluff?

  It it ain't there it ain't there but it was there, the ferocity, so where did this ferocity come from? And why can't he recall it every week? Is it a memory loss? Or did grandfather clock finally ticked into the frontier of "it's old age now for you Suaia. You have been slowed down. Sorry about that".
