Sione Matautai returning to Australia next year. Hard to believe is only 28. Anyone follow ESL think he has anything left in the tank?

He struggled with injury before he left the knights in 2020 but could see them giving him a crack again if he is looking for a contract and comes cheap.

I'd take him. Was great in the 2023 WCC against Penrith.

10 year career as he started very young. The article I found says he is returning for family reasons, not to play NRL.


Looks like a Newy boy though. Born in Liverpool but moved at an early age and if he is returning for family then it rules out interstate. Sydney clubs a chance but I'd imagine if he does play again it's at Newcastle.

Maybe part of the reason they're letting Adam Elliott leave?

Could be who knows. His numbers still stack up even if it's a slower game over there.

It feels right that Newcastle get him back. He has only ever played one NRL finals match. After all he went through at the Knights the pay off hasn't been great in his time in the NRL. Hyped junior with three spoons I'm sure it would nag at him.

He has won everything in the Super League and has unfinished business in the NRL.
