Before even opening this I knew there'd be something about us in the article.

Not saying he's a bad player but has there been anyone who hasn't been linked to us over the past 6 months.
Yip here we go again lol. Linked to another..!!

How the fuck is he only on 350k?

He's a really good player. Remember with CHN many were saying the last thing we need is another second rower? My point then was you sign the best players you can and sort the rest out later. Our team isn't so stacked that we can turn down a chance to sign a talented, skillful player like Matterson on the cheap. Plus he can play 5/8th also.

If he's available, they should go after him for sure. Imagine a back row of Jackson, CHN and Matterson at lock?

Matterson is a awesome utility & a big powerful body, has played and dominated in the centres, back row & spent some time at 5/8 while at the Roosters. This guy would be a great inclusion at the Bulldogs IF it happened.

I love that place. Maybe he was just there for the scotch fillet on the bone :grinning:
Back to culinary school for you, you can’t have a scotch fillet on the bone, fillet means no bone, maybe you meant rib eye

Players of his caliber don't pop up all the time, prototypical modern Lock. Elliott and Smith both off contract next year, pounce now - reap the benefits
I agree about his caliber. If I am reading the article correctly it says the bulldogs have been sounded out... not the other way around so he wants to know if we would take him...

I wouldn’t be surprised if he went to Parramatta to replace Mau

I agree. He was at Parra initially and almost signed there before he signed with the Tigers. Still it would be nice if we got him

He will go back to the Roosters so he can make the NSW origin team

He is a hell of a player but Matt Doorey in a couple of years is the future lock for the dogs and considering we are stacked atm maybe shooting off rounds on Matterson when we need to fill in other areas probably isn't the best thing for us.

I'd fucking love him, very good player and would instantly improve our side. Stimson coming over probably prevents this from happening though
Agree, I'm not a fan of Matterson at lock, him left edge and CHN right would be sweet.

Spot on! Jackson, CHN, Stimson for next year then Doorey, Topine and Pitovao in the pipeline means we don't need him.

Good player. With Foran's injury record his versatility would be valuable. Saying that, we're stacked in the Second Row/Lock positions already and unless it was a marquee signing I wouldn't be recruiting there. I'm also a fan of Elliott and Smith.

COTE DE BEOUF, FOR 2 | GF85.0
Wood grilled 600g Scotch fillet, served on the bone parisienne potato, brussel sprouts, bacon, candied walnuts, bearnaise & red wine jus

Whatever it is it’s delicious and the thought of it has made me so hungry

The bloke is also not a dickhead
I sat next to him at a function a few years ago
Really humble guy he played for the Chester hill as a kid as well
Paper says he is an eels junior ?
Not sure
Would be a handy pickup
And only has one last name for a change

How can he be on 350k as a premiership winning backrow ( covers 6 and centre) and that Egan but player be on 500k reportedly?

Media making shit up

I don't mind him in either position, hardly the end of the world if we don't get him but he's defenitely the type of player I want to play for us.
