This is all I could find, hopefully he's staying.
Meanwhile, plans for Manly and Kiwis centre Steve Matai to travel to New Zealand and inspect the club's facilities have been cancelled. Club officials are still hoping to meet with Matai but no date has been set.

Matai given deadline by Warriors
Newstalk ZB - July 29, 2010, 2:45 pm

As negotiations with Kiwis centre Steve Matai drag on, the Warriors may be ready to move on.

It's understood club management has told Matai and his manager Gavin Orr they have until tomorrow to make a decision on whether he will come to Auckland or not.

Matai's has been wavering for weeks, over moving to Auckland or sticking with Manly for another two seasons.
The Warriors turned their interest to Matai once Brent Tate announced he had signed to play next season at the North Queensland Cowboys.

Great! At least we should have an answer very soon.

Why do negotiations with Manly players always seem to drag out? Very frustrating.

Meanwhile, Bell confirmed the club had informed Manly centre Steve Matai it needed an answer on its contract offer sooner rather than later.

Matai, who has an offer to stay at Manly and is also being chased by the Sharks, is believed to be reluctant to move to Auckland as his partner is expecting a baby in September.

"Steve is our priority at the moment given what is on the market. But when a player is at a good club it is always hard to get them away from places like that. We should know in a few days."

Matais staying at Manly. Should be announced in the next few days.

Gavin Orr did a master job in driving Steve's price up with you blokes.
