I'm sick of this bloke feigning injury to get sympathy votes.
Either you're fit or not fit. He was hobbling in last years GF, winking at the same time.
At the elite level you can't be a little injured so it makes me believe he is trying too hard to achieve legendary status.

Woe is me.

I dislike Matai just as much as the next man, but what else do you want him to say ?

Still bitter are we?

 

[Jatz Crackers]

I wasnt aware they allowed such whinging on a cloud of the 9 variety.

Ouch, this thread didn't turn out quite as expected did it....

[Miller was a legend]

i'm just happy it's not about the Sharks

No. I congratulated Manly and Orford.
I usually can smell if someone is a faker.
He's had the injury before the GF, but played an unbelievable 40 mins with out a hint.

Also the nature of his alleged injuries are quite serious . Would you play with head and neck injuries?

So he's either fully 100% fit, or he's gone for the season.

Like, no aches and pains, small tears, cuts, twinges etc exist at the elite level? :crazy:

If thats the case, why bathe in the limelight and have a full page spread written about it?

Oh sh*t, Steve price has a chipped fingernail, lets devote page 3 to it.

 

[MSIH]

Yeah cause Matai writes for AAP in his spare time.

 

[Loudstrat]

And is the editor.

FFS.

 

[Cloud9]

In conclusion, we all agree its a non-story about Matai.

Matai will never 'fully recover'


Article from:
By John Marsh
February 25, 2009 12:00am

TOUGH Manly centre Steve Matai has been told he won't ever fully recover from the neck and shoulder injuries which almost wrecked his 2008 season.






Looks like his alias is John Marsh from the Daily Telegraph. Talented man old Matai. Tough as nails, handy centre and a famed journalist writing for numerous media outlets. Who says you can't have it all?

Enlighten me.

Trust the daily telecrap.
Any decent journo would have asked how long Matai intends to play for given his alleged neck and shoulder injuries.:roll:

Nah, I'd much rather read about Greg Inglis's growing pains, Brett White's sore toe or how Michael Crocker's body simply can't take rugby league anymore (while he negotiates with any number of clubs).

Seriously, there are stories like this from every single club in the NRL. Hindy has arthritis in his feet. Locky's knees are shot but he battles on, and Mick Weyman has a new injury every training session, but you haven't said squat about them, yet you only seem bothered when the story is on Matai. It's pretty clear you're bitter about the GF dude. Don't worry, season starts soon enough....
