  • Seems to have been a waste including Ryan Matterson in our top 25 this year. We never used him and now we let him go to the Roosters. I wonder if we'll have players in our top 25 next year who never get a run?

    I remember the club being excited to announce Matto's extension (I think it was last year). I was under the impression he was in our long term plans, at least as a 5/8 or Lock backup. I was even surprised when we didn't hold on to ZDC. Here we've got this superstar young halves pairing and we just let them both go......

  • Wow there are some ordinary players in that list.
  • That list shows if we get a couple of injuries our season will be derailed again - this is why signing flops like hoppa handicaps a club
  • We will always struggle with injuries as the back ups are below bog average in the like of Seffa, Kelly and Morgan. Until we get a recruitment team that can spot real talent instead of extending contracts of known duds like Seffa and co we will never improve.

  • Idg will retire. Pritchard top 25
    • Would prefer Cody Nelson in the top 25 and Pritchard on a second tier contract.
  • Haven't seen much of Pritchard, only saw him in the trials at the start of the season and was not impressed by his performances. Agree with Tragiceel would prefer Nelson as he offers more than Pritchard and IDG.

  • Hopefully duds like Kelly, Joseph Paulo and Morgan will not be taking up a top 25 spot. They would be a waste of money and position in our team and club.

  • Especially since Pritchard only usually survives for one game a year
  • I have previously been against it but if we don't sign a strike centre they may need to pick radradra there and I like fairaimo on the wing

"I agree. That's his role on the show - to be the contrarian!But I felt his performance last night had a bit more personal stuff going on. He got a bit agitated and so did Braith. I reckon something was said at the pre show rehersal.  "

"Chiefy, the tricky part here is that media speculation that Matterson was one of the cards on the table is not the same as Matterson formally being a card on the table. Hence the other way to interpret the post is that Matterson has went on record…"

"Thx for posting Matto's post, Eli. That post says it all. Matto was not involved until given a fait accompli, but of course Storm-friendly media need to paint his as "stubborn". This is called "cooling out the mark", which is where the loser (Storm)…"

"But, Blue Eel, according to TCT, it's been the toughest preseason ever and Matterson has trained the house down. 
Kidding, fake news, but anyway has Matto been at training?"
