Dean Matterson

[Ryan]

Absolutely deserves his own thread. 25 years old, making his debut for the Mighty Manly Sea Eagles against The North Queensland Cowboys.

Not sure you read this mate, but both congratulations and well done. Hard work and perseverance pays off. Chased the dream, realised the dream.

Absolutely tear paint off the wall with everything you have buddy. Best of luck, we are all behind you !!!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Yep , rip and tear , most of the rest don’t bother so you can’t go wrong if you do.

 

[double hoops]

Congrats on the debut. May there be many more games at Man.

 

[mutley]

should of been picked at 6 instead of cooper johns all season, has looked good for blacktown in the 6 or lock position

 

[The Wheel]

Haven’t really seen much of him so will be watching with interest on Saturday - go hard Deano

 

[manlyfan76]

Be the best Matterson in the NRL

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Good luck to him
Hope he can make an impact and gets a lot of minutes to show he can

 

[Thewestisbest]

Best of luck, he definitely has heart.

 

[TheSoaringEagle2023]

Very much looking forward to his debut. Much deserved. Hope he does well.

 

[silvertail]

190cm, 86kg, 25 year old second rower, apparently.
A little skinny IMHO but best of luck on debut.

 

[Tragic Eagle]

Congratulations Dean you certainly earned your debut. Good luck and go hard.

Good footy player with a good turn of speed . Maybe will have to lift his defensive resolve a bit
Looks like a 13 or 6 option , most likely 13 to give Jake a rest or in prop rotation.
Not in the Dylan Walker mould or style and effectiveness but a good all round footy player regardless .

Hope he doesn’t get a bad haircut this week. We don’t want any more blow ups between Matto & Shoe.

You think a couple of hospital passes from the Shu coming up ?
Welcome to 1st grade son !

How good is it to see a player rewarded for strong performances in ressies, how it always should be and something we haven't really seen from our club in a long time. Mind you this is the first time Blacktown have looked like a half decent side since we partnered with them

Can't say I've seen him play much but if he's anything like his brother (without being a mercenary who takes suspensions over fines) that would be good, we're just about the only team in the comp without a ball playing forward type who can offload and be creative around the ruck

[castle eagle]

i hope he doesn't cop the same treatment that dessie used to do with first timers & let them sit on the bench the whole game

 

[Marto1970]

Would be a good ball playing 13 , hope he has a blinder

 

[deanm]

Hope he has a cracker. BTW , according to NRL Website he is 86kg? For a comparison , Koula is 88kg and Reubs is 98kg !
