PARRAMATTA EELS
Toni Mataele
Given his age and the fact he already has top 30 in his existing contract (starting next year), this guy is the obvious choice. Huge potential.
Samuel Loizou
The jury is still out on this guy. He can certainly still become a first grader, but he's an outside back who just turned 20 and has a single NRL game, so I doubt he'll ever play Origin, for example. This guy is the same age as Penisini, who is our biggest talent still eligible for Flegg.

Talented brothers Haele and Sione Finau arrive after developing in the Storm system and both will be pushing to be a part of the top squad.
Haele is a hooker on a train-and-trial contract while younger brother Sione is on the development list and plays in the outside backs.

You can tell who's who because the train-and-trial brother is the one without a flash watch.

Sad for our first few rounds - but (assuming he'll be a pariah at training and in the sheds), hopefully it will teach Matterson not to go off half-cocked, sooking like a selfish peanut when things don't go his way.

Matterson’s ridiculous bid to change his punishment has been rightfully denied.

If only the NRL knew what a lesson they're about to be taught by making Catto sit out per his original request....

Watch out Abdo and PVL, you will be struck down with a great vengeance and furious anger... And you will know his name as the Lord when Catto lays his vengeance upon thee....

I do agree that is was pretty shit of the NRL to force him to make a decision on what plea to take on his charge so soon after he’s just lost the GF (and most likely drunk). The season doesn’t start again for 5 months, surely they could have given him a couple of extra days to think about it. Hopefully they look into this in the future.

Having said that, Matterson is a f**king idiot and should have just paid the fine.
