"I just can't see him playing 1st grade at the Eels again Daz. His statement indicates he has been under the care of a neurologist away from the club. Some alarm bells right there that he isn't around the club. "
"I don't think this is not nice by our club not to tell him. But not sure anyone was making him as the villain here, not me at least. He had a right to refuse a deal."
"How could he not be part of the negotiations. He obviously has a manager. What the fark was his management doing keeping any information secret from Matterson. If he doesn't have a manager, he should be doing his own consulting.

"Don't be surprised if we see a round 1 crackdown, and a few penalties that might seem out of the blue."
"Sounds like this is something that Melbourne proposed and Parra didn't consider it an option, especially given the concussion issues Matto is currently going through."
"I don't think he plays in the nrl again, too risky with his head knocks. Medical retirement soon "
"only really worry this season is our outside back yardage. Lomax was one of the best in that regard and people also don't remember that Brown gave us an easy 150m a game from 5/8 which will be hard to replace this year

"I'm guessing there's plenty out there, only one nrl ref. I'm sure you'll recognise him tomorrow night."
"Far out these players need better advice. Releasing a statement like this solves nothing, adds oxygen to the media flames, and creates a further wedge between Matto and the people who pay him.
I completely get why he's aggrieved, but in 24 hours…"

"Honestly, just release him. Pay out the last $400k and be done with him. Players now releasing their own Satements shows he isn't behind any club but himself. Cop the loss, he won't see first grade, he won't see a contract extension and he won't get…"

This man "THE CROW" is my all time fav EEL. When I played rep league as a youngster I tried to mould my gam and goal kicking around him
Very classy player and man 👏🏻👏🏻👊😎
Theres the carlo kiss of death right there.
Mick, please be safe in the next few days/weeks.
😆😆😆 far out lol
Bit overrated though, wouldnt want him kicking a goal to save your life.
Wouldnt want him coaching to save your life either
i was just throwing out a few crumbs HKF, looking for a nibble
Nice one Garry, good to see you got out ok, rumoured to be a few bodies buried under the Gerringong.
Your opionion mate. To be honest It was mentioned by the rep coach back in 84 when I played school rep footy that I played a bit similar to the crow. My all time fav and always will be
There is a reason he is the first "Champion" of Parramatta. Played in all of our Grand Final wins. One of the all time greats and worthy of Immortal status. I laugh at anyone who knocks him as a goal kicker. He held the all time ARL/NRL point scoring record for years kicking leather balls from sand mounds. More importantly, a champion human being. Great photo Garry.
Also needs to be remembered he didn't start playing NSWRL until he was 26 so his total points scored could have been higher if he started earlier.
