Matterson is an elite player who is being used as a battering-ram by Arthur, and therefore cant show what he can do. Arthur is the problem, not Matterson. Same goes for Lane and Marata. I think Kaufusi is very talented too, but being forced (like all our forwards) to play a very one-dimensional game.
You don't approve that we are leading the NRL in offloads and errors?

Tackle effectiveness doesn't take into account whether they get a quick play the ball, and its guaranteed that when they run at Mahoney theyll get a quick one.
That's why you don't want defenders isolated, especially in the middle. Front load your effort and it doesn't happen.

Someone reckon arguing with you is like bashing your penis with a ball pein hammer.
I am trying to work out why I am laughing. Perhaps Penis and Ball Pein in the same sentence. And why someone would smash their penis with a hammer in the first place. You'd have to be a real loon

He has wrinkles in his forehead. He may say he is 27 but I don't beleive his Fiji birth certificate. He is atleast mid 30s.

To build a club you need grass roots. Not buying guys from here and there. You want them to come in via your system and feel part of the club.
Is this BA fault? Yes and no. It isn't his problem we do not have as many juniors. But his fault with somemof the kids we've let go.
Alioi,Stephano,Twal,Remis Smith,Tuikamacha, Doorey Matterson first time around come to mind....
7 juniors who we missed who have turned into good established NRL players. They where here and part of our system. This is how you build a team. Instead we have

D.Brown,Kafusi,Jnr and even though we developed Matterson we still let him go and only bought him back due to big bucks.
I will also add Mahoney.

So in 8yrs we've since BA come added D.Brown,Kafusi and Mahoney from our junior system. Jnr was already in first grade. Matterson wasn't even making our NSW cup side as we didn't rate him.

Yet 6 guys are playing elsewhere. There is I am sure more like BBO. A list would be nice for people more in the know of who was part of our jnr set up during BAs days.

Yes I know we may not of signed Papali'i or Cartwright but I have banged on about this for years. Want to build a club you need close to 50% of your side being juniors.

@TheRam Please let me know thoughts on this.
