My question revolves around Ryan Matterson. 3 games resulting in 3 losses all by only 4 points each. I believe Ryan Matterson is easily worth more than 4 points to the Eels.
Do you think the Eels would be 3 wins at this stage if Ryan Matterson was playing?

we will never know, but with him and Lane as our edge and Hopgood lock gives us our best pack and you would think 8 to ten points better than how we are now.
Speaking of going like a busted..... How bad is Ice going at the Tigers
Exactly , and people wanted the coaches head because we didn't offer him a million bucks and a decade deal .
Moses will end up exactly the same if he fucks off . Moses looks better than he is playing in our team. Yeah he's good , but not 1.25 million good.
No one wanted the club to offer him that, and you're making a false equivalency that he would be struggling as much with us as he is with the Tigers. From what I've seen his heart is not in it at the Tigers.
Matterson presence would have helped. Not sure if his presence would have contributed to all 3 wins as the coach and his bench use is quite deplorable
To be fair we drop Dorsey to the bench if Matto is there so the bench becomes stronger ;-)
I thought Doorey was injured and will be out for a few weeks. He's been a good player except for his known history with injuries
Don't forget that the 4 points required in each game could have come via either attack or defence. Also the 4 points could have come totally from Matterson or from another player with that little bit of extra energy due to Ryan's involvement.
Personally, I can't imagine anything less than 2 wins at this stage if Matterson was playing. Therefore, Ryan Matterson and the club not paying the $4000 fine could end up costing way more. Making the finals is financially beneficial for many reasons, missing the finals could be a result of the 1st 3 rounds.
That fine could end up costing us not only the semis , but also people their jobs , maybe cost Moses and Co a big 30 or 40k bonus for missing the finals , could cost others hundreds of thousands as a collective . You'd assume BA has a incentive to make the finals .
But only Matterson could agree to pay it , the club couldn't do it for him . So let's hope he repays everyone by putting in .
Surely someone at the club could/should have suggest/encourage/force Matterson to pay the $4,000? This 3 week holiday is costing the club plenty also.
