Bulldogs lock up boom rookie


It's no secret that the Bulldogs are desperate for a quality halfback - and the good news is that they have found one.

But the bad news is that Iverson Matai is just 17 and it will probably be a couple of seasons before he is pushing for top grade selection.
A product of Endeavour Sports High School, Matai played in the Harold Matts Cup for the Dogs this year and his red-hot form saw at least three rival clubs chasing him.

He opted to stay at Belmore, signing a three-year deal, and is a kid who could develop into something special.


Great news

The Iverson and Compton show! Kids have always had big wraps on them.

With Gus and Khoury I'm confident that we'll keep all of our best juniors and see a fair few of them develop into key contributors to the FG team. For the past decade or so, that hasn't been the case.

Yup, having so many good juniors that you can't keep them all is a much better problem to have then the opposite.

What's the wrap on him?

Sounds like a boom flop

Iverson Matai? "the Answer" to our halfback woes?

 

[From the area]

We have a lot of “halfbacks” now. Not one impressed me at all. Maybe BBO or Wakeham. Out of the lot they are the only ones I’d put money on to have any success

I think our half back issue at the club has been resolved all young prospects who play different from each other, just matter to which suits the best during the pre season and trials. I really hope we dont chop and change like last year.

Here we go. Averillos best mate

 

[Pity Fool]

They said the same things about Wakeham when he was coming through, halfback of the future, multiple clubs chasing him and he just hasn’t clicked in first grade!

It might be Wakeham

Great news

It might be Wakeham

Hope it is.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Hope it's Jake

Tbh I don’t care who it is. As long as they help Burton and have a good kicking game. Someone that can steer the team round the park.

 

[Dogmonster]

Honestly i just wouldn't write this shit about 17 year old, unless they are Joseph Suaali, honestly it just puts pressure on them, they or their mates read this think of them. Jersey Flegg fair enough.

 

[Scoooby]

BOOM BOOM.!!

 

[NPC83]

Great kid. Good to see him locked up. There is some potential first grade talent coming through Matts & Ball at the moment.
