THE FUTURE
Despite signing a letter of intent that could see them join the Bulldogs on a four years deal from 2016, Sione says he and brothers Chanel and Pat remain keen to stay at the Knights long term.
But when it comes to a final decision, mum’s the word.
“There are some obstacles in the way but we want to get it sorted out as soon as possible,” he said.
“We all want it to be here (Newcastle) but if it takes us elsewhere, it takes us elsewhere.
“It will come down to what suits my mum best. She will have a talk to the club and let them know what she thinks and if she is happy with that, we’ll take it.
“To be honest, wherever we go, footy is always going to be there. We just have to take care of our mum first because she is our number one priority.”
Personally I'm getting sick of this shit!!! The late Great Peter Moore would have torn up the letter of intent that the brothers signed and thrown it back in their faces by now. We are a proud club and our heritage speaks for itself!!! We are not a two bit organization like the Newcastle Knoghts (no spelling mistake here) waiting for NRL handouts trying to keep creditors at bay.
I have always been of the opinion that I would love to see Sione and his Brothers playing for the Mighty Dogs but I don't appreciate our great club being dragged into a game of tag with the BIG O's so these snot nosed little kids can use us bargaining chips. With that said and in the spirit of Christmas I wish the Mata’utia Family a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year and a BIG rubber dildo for Matthew Gidley the queer.
