Watch this space.... my key interest will be seeing if he makes the origin squad- could tell a few tales, especially if Burton makes it as well.

Origin noooo farkin way!
No thanks Over rated.
Haas to Dolphins or to Titans with a Fifita swap to Dolphins.
Haas to play with his brother he will get his million dollars then or 1.2 mill.

Would rather go after someone like Joseph Tapine come November.

Over rated sooky lala. Leaves the Roosters for the Tigers, leaves the Tigers for Parra, leaves Parra for us , leaves us for…

Find if funny, seems very lazy but come end of contract time he is a gun for a few games....

 

[Roger the alien]

Not the player i would get into a bidding war over, too inconsistent for the money he wants.

Being played out of position and minutes reduced, he has already been quoted in the papers saying he is used to being a ball playing lock role but Brad Arthur isn’t using him as one.

Depends how much he is asking

He is s fuking cat chasing money, not dogs dna

 

[Como Dog]

Isn't he a serious concussion risk ?

Yep good player but risky signing especially if on big $$$. In saying that he seems to have had a good year this season on the concussion front.

He was keen to sign with the dolphins until he actually went up and saw the area. I know that for fact

He has a high regard of Holbrook as a coach …& the GC lifestyle. Problem is his agent is asking upwards $600k/3 year term. His preference is to stay in Sydney; with his current concussion profile will struggle to gain a long term deal & $$$$ he’s chasing.

Belmore should sway him then

Agree Bazil. Shit attitude

 

[Apex Cedar]

Half you guys are cooked, the guy would walk in and be our best forward by a mile. I suggest you look at his numbers for this year.

 

[B-Train]

Matterson would be a good signing. My only worry is every contract year he plays out of his skin and then isn't as good in the other years.. He wouldn't be cheap as his price goes up every game..

But his form this year has been amazing. He's put on a fair bit of size while maintaining his footwork and skills.. He can play middle and edge equally well..

 

[Bulldogs09]

Agree b train and apex.

He would be a great lock for us. Exactly the type we need.

Allows Pangai to play prop and fuck Thompson off. Kikau on edge and matto at lock. Even if the haas shit has no legs it would be a very solid pack with those 3.

He would be great and complete our pack but with Kikau, TPJ and Thompson on huge amounts. I doubt we can afford him unless we offload Thompson end of the year.

 

[Benno Bulldog]

love this forward pack look like Bulldogs.
