  • Is it time for Matterson to be bumped up into the 17?

    I think yes. Found myself thinking the other night against parra, wow could really use a Matterson intercept right about now, not to mention Hastings was terrible in defence, which we can't afford against the sharks. Matto is much more solid in D, not to mention has more pace and runs the ball. Got a feeling we may see him play on Monday night, whether he is named this arv at #6 or #18...

    Hastings looks completely busted, why is he even playing football period? Get him healthy. As for Matto, probably the right choice but I would be fine with Watson getting a go there too, this guy has been severely underused by Trent.

      Actually I would prefer to see Matterson at 6 and have Connor on the bench but used a bit more than 3 minutes and 40 seconds. When we had Mortimer, he would relieve Friend for 10 minutes before half time and a bit more in the second half, and Friend was regarded as the second best hooker in Australia behind Smith. Now Friend is probably not in the top 6.

        what about all the inside knowledge from the chookpen that he was out and already signed . i agree, keep Ryan in the 6, connor to take off Jake and jnr horrie to work on his speed, his turning, his tackles, his kicking game at wyong,

          To me it looks like he learned his lesson with nikorima and is choosing not destroy Watson's confidence by having him play big minutes before he's ready. Watson has looked great everytime he's come on the field and no doubt that's been engineered by coming on against tired bodies. He's building his confidence.

            If Hastings is done at the club then I think it is time to see what a Pearce/Matterson combo can do.

            Can the coach please give Watson a fair crack too. What is he expecting the guy to do in the last 10 minutes when we are losing?

                ​Glad you are not the coach.
