If The Fox is being disruptive and undermining coach/management, I have no issue with him being shown the door - there's no point in doing things by halves - all the recalcitrants need to go now.

What would, however, be unforgivable is if we fail to capitalise on the situation and obtain an inferior player in return.

Is Matterson a fair trade? Perhaps.

Just seen this lmao .

There's a lot of dramas at the dogs with the fallout from Topine.

(Allegedly) The Polynesian boys met up every week at a cafe , anyone could join in .
Some of the leadership group lead by our old mate Mahoney titled this group the "Monkeys"and referred to them as such.

Theres alot of drama because of it and that playing group is beyond fractured.

Faitala - Mariner and Addo - Carr dramas are a by product of that.

Topine , FR and AC are /were well thought of by the majority of the playing group, Reed not so much.
where’d you hear this dribble

Would definitely take Matterson yall seen the size of him
He is one more head knock away from self identifying as a tub of cottage cheese..no thanks!!
And his decision to take a 3 match suspension rather than pay 2k fine out of his pocket(or whatever the pissy amount was illustrates that he is as far from a team player as you can get (considering he is on serious coin!) Another reason for a hard pass!!

hope this happens. Matto would make a huge difference to us. As good as the foxx is, an above average middle is much more valuable to us right now than a really good winger. I don't know why matto would do this personally but hopefully he's pissed about the limited minutes at parra and likes the look of a guaranteed starting spot.

What is obvious is that Gus & Ciraldo realised very early on last year this pack wasn't going to work. We took a flyer on Pele and he could have been anything but unfortunately was a dud.
You think Matto would be effective in our colours?
I think Matterson would be a great signing. He's an Origin calibre forward that has a lot of skill and is tough.. I think Parra haven't used him properly or appreciated him the last few years. He could take his game to another level with a more consistent role at another club.

We need to punch out metres and Matterson can give us that as well as ball play and strong defensive player

Fox only asset is speed and scoring tries, the latter doesn’t happen if you lose the middle

This journo is reallly reaching. The jac thing was over weeks ago and we know he isnt going anywhere, but guy is talking like we are still thinking of letting him go.

I think the journo is trolling us

I gotta be honest, I do love JAC and what he brings with his vocal attitude but his form has been pretty mediocre along with the injuries.. I don’t wanna lose him but we do really need forwards and we do have a fuck tonne of backs

Garbage journalism.. who the fuck floated the idea? Has 3 years left on his contract, eel’s officials said they still want him so there’s no story.. just waisting everyone’s time.

I'll take a top eels forward for the fox, yes we love to get our cocks out for a long range fox try, but alot of people seem to forget that the guy leaks alot of trys too.

He still scored 11 tries from only 15 matches and we lost the middle almost every week. Fox is a finisher, you can’t coach that
