One thing I really like about Mataora that's underrated is his defence. He nearly always hits and sticks. Very rarely misses tackles.

Apparently Lyon may be released by Manly. I would take him even though he's old. Guy is still a weapon

I knew his tackles % would be impressive but that is pretty ridiculous. I've been watching him pretty closely and he really is an excellent defender. Hits hard and sticks. Even last year when overweight, I thought it was a strength of his then as well.Sam Mataora 2016

He would be good for a 2 year contract thats for sure. Lyon is a guy that is a consistent performer. You usually know what you are going to get every game with him.
Well that makes his contract negotiations a bit difficult seeing he was going to let his form do the talking. How long does he decide to put them off for now?
I daresay he already has offers on the table from one or more of the clubs he's been negotiating with. Honestly, I'm not going to miss the guy. It was a good news story bringing him home to Newcastle... but if he wants to earn more money at his job, like 95% of the rest of us, then I doubt it's going to be here.
I rate him as one of those guys you want in your squad, he's not a bad player... but he's only going to help us long term if he's willing to stay for money we can afford. If not, that's cool, later mate.
Honestly, even with 3rd party agreements taken into consideration, I feel like player wages are getting way out of control at the moment. Some of the numbers bandied about for bloody average players are ridiculous. Gillett asking for $700k... whilst a good player, it feels like taking the piss big time to me. One of many examples over the past few years.
Last I heard was a meeting next week. He must have made progress and can;t see his arm changing anything.
Has McManus definitely retired?
