It's the end of year/school term circus.
He was injured after we signed him ffs. He was starting hooker in round one of 2022. His 2021 form was good, which is why we signed him.
You always conveniently ignore the fact that his signing was lauded by almost no-one and that most fans and pundits had him as a bust from the day he was announced, which was before the injury you are referencing
And Choc? You deep throated him from memory too.

In fairness, Pou is still deep throating Steve Kearney for f**k's sake....
Sandow as well....
This is why he was the cheap option, just like Lussick, who replaced him. We didn’t replace Mahoney with Hodgson because we thought he was better. There was too much demand for Mahoney, making him unaffordable. Do you really think the key to managing the cap is signing the best available player at every position?
He was excellent for us. The team was worse because we lost Hayne. Watmough got the blame for it.
No, but its also not signing a proven crock and woefully staffing the hooker position in an attempt to leave a pathway there for players of "potential"...I have been told by many people, including agents, that for at least two years they had been told not to bother with offering hookers to Parramatta.
Everyone knew he was a risk. Are you suggesting we were in a position to avoid risk, with the salary cap squeezing players out of the squad?Hodgson sets record straight on new contract and explains why he refused to be medically retired

In this article, he confirms this injury was his "third knee"...everyone knew he was washed up except our recruitment team (and coach) and the great Poudini!
It was a clear indication of where we were at as a club, with the only coaches willing to come here being ones no other club wanted. No surprises Bennett preferred Souths, who finished below us on the ladder. Is Ryles the first one where there has been some external demand? Admittedly, it was from the Dragons, who haven’t been a preferred destination for anybody for over a decade.
see above - we chose a disposable short term option (and crock) because we wanted the hooker position available for Arthur junior...all of the rugby league world knows that.
Great attacking player who Souths wanted to keep. Shame about the shoulder charge ban. It killed his career.
still litigating Kearney...you are the best!
Matt Arthur does have massive potential. Look how good he was in reserve grade this year, despite still being eligible for SG Ball.
