:lol: If Newcastle have all these young great promising fowards coming out their arse (Mataora, seriously? :lol:) what's the fuss over? He's not that good anymore now that he isn't in Blue and Red, right? Overated perhaps, never would have made it anyway...

FWIW most backrowers who move up front aren't that effective, it's just to fill a team's need. Creagh, Thaiday, Myles..

Most people are referring to fitzgibbon, the Saifitis and Luke Yates when they talk about tapines replacement

If anything we whinge about our lack of decent juniors.

Mataora is a Bennett project player. One of those fringe players who he makes look better than they actually are. Like Matt Prior who is now at The Sharks. Will be best remembered for nearly decapitating JT with his elbow and getting sent off for it.

Oh dear.:crazy:

Please explain how Nate Myles isn't 'that effective' up front. I can pardon you if you admit you do not watch league. Bloke has been outstanding at prop.

Put that shotgun to good use for us all.

Paul Harragon was a backrower for years before moving to prop and he is regarded our best ever prop forward. Snap!!

4 years at $500K per year - overpaid.
5 years at say $420K per year - doesn't look as bad...

And we just handed him to them. No trade...

Thank f*** we got that extra $100K we would have paid a future rep player back in our salary cap to try and find someone at the last minute...

Super annoyed we folded...
