Rumours and Stuff

[Happy MEel]

I wish I could be more articulate about it but this guy has just proved to be a selfish f**kwit.

I think you summed it up perfectly mate.

You know what, it’s no secret I didn’t want JA in the team but even I thought the booing went too far.

However, I would have absolutely no issues with 25k fans booing the shit out of this greedy merkin in round 4 next year and I’d probably partake. I just can’t fathom this way of thinking in a team sport. It’s unforgivable.

I hope the media remind us all of this before his first game.

We won’t forget.

He re signed with the Roosters

Amazing how a club with so few members and according to Buzz salary cap pressure, can sign all rep players off contract and add Brandon Smith. Oh, they did release Verrills, so they have a spare $1.5 million now. Seems strange how all the stories about the cap at the Roosters went so quiet, the media don’t want to miss their lunches I guess. Easier too when you are based in such a poverty rental and real estate area

I read they made an offer to RTS....

I reckon most of us here would prefer he didn’t fight it and take advantage of the fact that the NRL allowed fines to be paid during finals rather than suspensions.

I have zero doubt that’s what his team mates and the club would prefer as well.

I think he pays the fine if it was the GF he was missing

 

[yy_cheng]

Maybe they I pay them in crypto which they bought 3 years ago

Whilst Matterson is chilling on the sideline for 3 weeks, that's a 3 week head start other Origin hopefulls have on him.

Could cost him more than he thinks.

It seems a lot of people won't need a reminder

Was thinking that earlier. Almost takes him out of the equation especially if he starts in NSW cup in round 4.

Matterson and his quotes in the article, including about "personal issues" around money... seems like the type of merkin that would have a hissy fit if we played in a rainbow pride jersey too.

His contract should now be stamped "do not renew".

Well he will be 32 when his contract ends.

He just signed a 4 year contract in June starting in 2023.

And we have another team player on the way, Curtis Scott. No wonder our culture leaves a lot to be desired.

At least Scott would kick someone on the ground...I think we need his grubiness.
Even in the canbraaaa game, wighton was going for Moses all night and only big unit Mahoney stepped in.
We need a thug or two in this squad who won't take shit from cheap shot merchants...

Matto is one and done when it comes to origin.

He won't play again.

Not sure he deserved to be dropped he barely played in game 1. But it's history now.

 

[Soto]

That’s what I did. I went with my wife and watched them in NT and all up it cost close to that.

Nice one mate. Solid supporter. Blue and Gold to the core.
The GF cost me over $1500 for my 6 tickets and food, drinks etc. I'm not making this about me but showing how much the club means to me and my family. We are staunch supporters. My kids are so into it and I take my old man with me too. We embraced the GF week with new jerseys, streamers, balloons, car flags and so on and he earns 4 times what I earn but for me it's a club first mentality...it's a shame this sorry saga has taken up 5 pages or whatever it is.
I agree with Matto about the absurdity of the NRL MRC, judiciary etc but FFS fight it...
Anyhow maybe its an opportunity to say to Nathan Brown #13 spot is yours next yr if he can and BA can work out their differences.
Otherwise if he goes then Hopgood starts the year there.
Sometimes this is the only way a young bloke gets a crack..I hope blokes like EEZ, Mataele and even Wiremu grab the opportunity with both hands

He must be dumb as a plank, if the quotes in teh article are his reasons.

I know the guys at Bankstown bulls, his junior club think highly of him. When matto found out a kid at the club was sick, matto went well out of his way to help cheer the kid up. All on his own too. They all only have good things to say about him

That’s why it surprises me how he left the tigers, and now his antics re suspension/fine.

 

[Eelementary]

Has anyone heard anything from BA? Surely he'd know all about Matterson's decision...

I read somewhere matto discussed the issue with Ba. FMD if I’m the coach I’d offer to pay the 4K.

The boys all want to play for the Braaaad.
