From the aftermath, I wouldn't want Galvin here now TBH. He has tarnished himself., wrong advised, wrong manager and I'm sure sh.t will hit the fan again.

This is gonna make me very popular but I’d be looking to try and bring in Matterson mid season. Give us a forward with a bit of variety and an offload, whether that’s on an edge or up the middle.

I dont mind it, would be cheap and he does have talent. As long as he gets a heart transplant on the way it would be worth a shot.

Ivan did bring him to the Tigers.

ABSOLUTELY NOT. He is a Peahearted Pumpkin and absolutely TOXIC to a culture.

Remember 2 seasons ago, he sat out 3 Parramatta games because he didn't want to pay a 4K fine.

Dude basically sat out on his teammates because of his 'personal stance'. He is the antithesis of what a Panthers Player is supposed to be.

Matterson would only work on a one year deal. Make him play for a contract elsewhere.

Why hasn't he been in the Parramatta Eels team? You'd hope it was easing him back from injury. While Parramatta have been a total disaster this year he has played 3 games in NSW cup alongside his mate Bryce Cartwright. Even this week he is back to 18th man.

The Galvin/Brown situation is going to see some action in the market. Matterson is an ideal player for Parramatta to release even if he doesn't want to play in the UK:

---


THE agent of Parramatta Eels forward Ryan Matterson has slammed the rumour that the back-rower could be heading for Super League.

“He is contracted to Parra and no one has had a word to us from any camp, including the Eels,” his manager Chris Orr told Wide World of Sports.

id rather Bryce back than Matterson- Bryce did have a bit of a purple patch at Parramatta so there's some kind of player there. It makes Frizell a little bit more appealing than what he is - but are these options really going to improve the squad?

Paps has been disappointing since coming across

reality is Paps, Sorro & Garner to a lesser extend all should be moved on in the next 2-3 years - we dont really want to be bringin in 30+ year old edge forwards who are past it

also wouldnt be against Tago going back to the bench and playing edge forward - but we cant have that kind of money sitting on the bench

Trey Mooney has a couple years left on his contract and is outside the Raiders 17. 22 years old big body and NRL experience.

Someone like him is the kind of guys we need. Guys that are hungry and ready to break into 17's. They can't atm due to competition, or used poorly by there existing coach.
Better than Huth and Riki.

Correct, a couple at the Dragons too and they just buy has been their Juniors are top for prop and edge.

Sometimes I wonder if our Management team is still drunk from the last 5 years. But that's cause as fans we are the cracks and what we need to happen.

Can you believe we let 3 top class 5/8s go who would be ready to partner Cleary?

Finau Latu would be a great buy. The kid has a lot of potential and he is now free to talk to other clubs
