Rumours and Stuff

[hindy111]

Not me - I'm Matto's biggest fan.

But there's a belief that he's soft, and doesn't play for his team.

Schuster is very skilful, but he has a weak mindset, imo.

Matterson overall has been an average signing. One good year for us but mostly average. I think his best spot is lock and BA never has given him much first choice there. I rate him higher then Hopgood when he is at his best. Hopgoods form this season actually is concerning. Gone backwards

That’s up to our people to explain the advantages of staying, negotiate a reasonable package as we see clubs like Storm and others do to retain junior players. Not sure our lot have that in their kitbag .

Imagine getting stuck behind the current halves and having to bide your time no one does that....

Oh Hi Jonah Pezet...

I agree here Matto is better at Lock and Hopgood has been poor. He needs to be a ball playing tackling machine.

That's where I think Schuster should play when he gets another gig.

Why is that?

I don’t think he is as good as what people make out

Too early to say at the moment really

But we should know in 11 or so years...

Fair comment, I just wouldn’t be betting the farm on him, we still need strike backs, these kids will take a while, only a select few handle the jump in firsts, and unfortunately we don’t have them, Talagi is a perfect case, I don’t think he will be ready for at least couple of years, and we still won’t know, I think being thrown to the wolves has had an adverse affect, just my opinion

L

People call Matto soft...what does that make Pooster?

Lazy like Matterson, on occasions

 

[King-Gutho94]

BA doesn’t actually have a plan.

Yes he does bring little Matty through and his job will be complete.

 

[Gronk]

Oh thanks for the tip. So that’s a good thing yeah?

I wouldn’t say a good thing. You will learn to tolerate I guess.

There twins.

Matto is a tightarse and Josh doesn't like rainbows.

Either way they wouldn't bleed for the jersey they wear and get paid for.

I remember tom humble called the next Darren Lockyer

The biggest difference between them is off the field. Matto loves lifting weights and looking at himself in the mirror where as Schuster prefers gaining weight and avoiding the mirror.

Jacob Loko

What a waste he is still only 31, got to say though…..loko seems to describe him pretty well, unfortunately you reap what you sow

Yeah he is loko. Had high hopes for him.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Yep, but he had one move. Step off the same foot. Not hard for NRL players to defend. Struggled to pass in both directions. Looked like he never learned the basics coz he got to bully kids smaller than him as he went through the grades.

Just needed some polish.

Imo fullback suits his game more than any other position as he's not pigeon holed into one side of the field. His 1v1 defence is also excellent.

I hate to ‘well actually’ merkins but in this case I can’t help myself.

Most fullbacks attack one side of the field these days, maybe all of them. As for one-on-one defence being excellent, that’s better utilised up in the line, out wide, where there there are far more opportunities to attempt those types of tackles. At fullback most one-on-one attempts are nullified by the presence of a support player to receive the pass. It’s a big reason so many fullbacks are lightweight. Because tackling isn’t a big part of the job. It’s mostly covering kicks, in defence at least.

You must have fullback confused with winger...
