Rumours and Stuff

[IFR33K]

For matterson to be overlooked for lasts weeks game, makes you think there’s an issue. But he supposedly took up his player option I believe, so it’s not adding up. Unless matto had no other options paying close to his eels contract.

I reckon that is what happened.

Maybe the eels wanted him off their books for 2022. Who knows

Last min…

Weilder mentions there is a rumour Marata is going to the warriors.

And Daley mentioned he held “birdie” suggest Matterson is on the outer at the eels.

I have a feeling were looking at sims

 

[Soren Lorenson]

I wouldn't want to lose Marata AND have an unhappy relationship Matterson and then end up with an aging Sims and Lane as our second rowers. ( I haven't forgotten about Ice)

Apparently going to roosters

he’s cost more than Matto as well

If, and I say IF, there is any substance to the notion that Matterson is on the outs with Parra, it certainly wouldn't paint him in the most favourable of lights given the way he left Parra previously, the messy exit from the Tiger's and now this.... Seems to be lurching in to Prima Donna territory....

Very strange BA announced in his pre Knights presser that Matto would be 18th man nek minute Opacic come on down.

If you're carrying four forwards on the bench and the 18th man is to be activated, it's likely the team is in need of an outside back. It's the smart option.

Will Smith was on the bench. He’s a spine player, not a forward.

We've only got 40 mins to wait to find out if BA has stopped talking to him............

Wouldn't surprise me i have heard in the past he is a bit of whinger something BA hates. He seems to run to his own tune and beliefs does matto. I wouldn't be disappointed if he left at end of contract he has been underwhelming

Good point, as Smith has done a decent job relieving in the centres in recent times.

BA made him one of his leaders though? Is BA easily conned?
That said, I mostly share your opinion.

Nah, I reckon Matto was overlooked for the Newcastle game simply because the Storm squad were being rewarded.
