Rumoured and Confirmed Signings - XXV

[The Engineers Room]

Matters not where they are from but what they do on and off the field that makes them great players.

I understand the point that is trying to be made. That Parramatta in the junior ranks has shown preference to players from the Pacific Islands because of their natural tendency to be more physical and that has not translated to having the best players coming through.

This is what I believe he is trying to say. I don't agree with it but I can see the point when you look at some recent players we have had.

Island boys offer a different style.... It is not racist too suggest a good balance is required between power and skill. In the juniors system thou because they tend to develop earlier they stand out a little more in the younger grades.
Why guys like Loko- Tanaginoa- Toutai - looked like world beaters in lower levels.

Has Matterson been released?

Has Matterson been released?

According to the SMH, yes:

The blue-and-golds are also poised to announce the re-signing of centre Ryan Morgan, who has agreed to a two-year contract extension. They will be losing some talent next season, however, with young playmaker Ryan Matterson released from his contract early to sign a two-year deal with the Roosters.

With them signing young Nikorima and already having Hastings it would appear highly unlikely he will be playing any first grade for a while unless he puts a massive effort in.

They need a fullback / 5/8 plus a top 17 back is nearly always injured. Plus Robinson seems like having a utility player on the bench.

I think he'd make a very good lock. Thats where I would play him.

Careful, you'll be called racist. I agree with you by the way and have made the same point before .A mixture or football skill /smart players and power athletes.

Stick to big noting yourself on the internet buddy. You're far too angry and boring to contribute anything else.

Do you think you're entertaining? You are a nuisance to this site. It's never been the same since you arrived. You have an obvious mental problem and your release is here. I get that but it's sad.
