So is the big news today?
Or as predicted did certain people hear Matai's name associated with the club and jump to the conclusion that he was 100% signing here? And that it wasn't just his agent talking a big game so that Steve can get a better deal on his next contract with the sea eagles? You know, like he's done twice before?
Perhaps a little more scrutiny is needed in the future when names are associated with the club - how many times have these leaks come from agents and then been reported and rumoured as fact? The warriors throw a lot of mud against the wall and very occasionally it sticks.
Sorry but no Matai, no Watmough, no Manu to forwards and most likely no Hoffman.
Eagerly awaiting confirmation of Watmough's contract with the eels and Matai signing a contract with Manly to finish his career there.
