Eels in the media

Matterson fills our douchebag quota and then some.

He's not an on-field douchebag, though.

He's not an on-field douchebag, though.

Especially for rounds 1-3 in 2023.....

He gets suspended enough to be one.

 

[Gronk]

Spot on. Can we please reconsider and renege his new contract?

What a f**kwitt

I'm not sure he's the full quid.... Some might say a sandwich short of a picnic....

 

[Gronk]

So what does the article say ? Did the NRL tell him to f**k off or are they considering it ? Pragmatism would suggest that time served hasn't commenced, so why not?

I wish he'd actually show it on the field.

We're too nice.

We need more Nathan Brown, NAS-type players - get under people's skins.

He's definitely getting some poor advice from somewhere.

TBH i think our Tigers friends should be in here with a hell of alot of, I told you so's.

Parra fans defended matto to the hilt when he f**ked the tigers over and came back to parra. Now we seem to have realised something - maybe those tigers fans werent so wrong.

Didnt BA make him one of the 5 Captains the minute he walked in the door?

Doesnt play for the Roosters so NRL wont do a thing.

Why would the NRL do anything? He made his decision and made it very public that he was sticking it to the NRL lol.

I dont think Matto listens to any advice tbh.

It's matto's way or the highway.

I agree its laughable its taken 2 months for Matto to realise what an idiot he is.

He admitted he was sick of paying the fines. So tough luck you didnt have to be blind freddy to realise what a stupid decision it was at the time.

I do think though if he played for the Roosters the NRL would find a loophole to bend over. That's where the frustration lies.

Eels launch bid to overturn Matterson’s ban as star backflips on controversial $4k decision

Eels launch bid to overturn Matterson’s ban as star backflips on bizarre $4k call

However the Eels have lodged an objection claiming the deadline for Matterson’s plea was unfair, with an NRL spokesperson confirming to News Corp: “We are in dialogue with the Parramatta club regarding the matter.”

Matterson was hit with the charge the Monday morning after the grand final, which was a public holiday, and only had 24 hours to respond.

But the star forward was preoccupied on that day, attending an Eels fan day and then spending time with his teammates later that night.

The Eels requested a deadline extension but only received two hours.

News Corp claim the Eels are of the belief Matterson would have made a different decision if he had more time.

To be fair there was absolutely nothing in that tackle, Edwards backed into him and kept moving. Matto didn’t apply any pressure , and there was no danger. At the time it seemed as if it was an unnecessary on report, but who knows how the MRC makes decisions. Stupid , impulsive decision but it was such a nothing , mind you the club should have reacted and advised him.

The merkin formally known as Greg Louganis has switched to the Knights.
