Serious question about matai?

[Dutchy]

Should be playing in one of those Tate monstrosities but chooses not too.

Tougher than anyone keyboard warrior here.

 

[MSIH]

Nerve or heart?

Haha, you wish you had a quarter of Matai's ticker.

 

[Patorick]

Bro

Sup?

That's kind of a nothing statement. We all know he could choose to nto play the game in pain. What is silly is that the club, the coaching staff, and his teammates all accept his situation (going down almost every game) and het gets on with things the best he can, yet people on here complain about him and have a go at him. He is playing with a condition that requires treatment most games, why is that subject to ridicule? Why does anyone who doesn't support Manly even care enough to come online and comment in a thread about it? :?

why do you care ?

 

[simon says]

Imagine if Dugan and Matai played in the same side?

The game would go for 200mins.

 

[Patorick]

Innovative thread this one.

Every NRL player plays with injury every week. Only one moans about it. If its that bad retire.

Or he could just keep moaning about it and earn 400k a year.

I think you are confusing Matai with Dugan, as it was Dugan's team mates who were getting jack of his fake injuries.Matai actually gets amongs it.

Yep. I have no issue with him playing on. Its the f**kknuckles who say that he is playing in pain which I'm having a dig at. He's not Robinson Crusoe, every player plays in pain. Matai is probably lucky that he's got nerve damage, once he retires and stops the physical contact he'll probably be ok, unlike those who will be crippled by oesteoarthritis in their 40s.

On the contrary, I think playing with nerve issues for years will make his life after football very uncomfortable.

 

[God-King Dean]

I am tougher than Matai.

 

[Fire]

He.

Has.

Nerve.

Damage.

Maaaaaaaate...

He.

Has.

Brain.

Damage.

 

[Hooch]

Probably a bridge too far to expect children to have any grasp of what chronic injury is.

But he has got into a habit of staying down and rubbing random body parts.

That doesn't sound very good.

p.s. I don't get why it's a cardinal sin to say NRL players are tough and anyone who claims they're tougher is full of shit lol.

Players today are tough, but they're also spoiled brats.

I'd be tougher than half the merkins playing these days.

You all must be a bunch of broads and pussies...

Fair dinkum mate have some self-respect about yourself...
