Matthew Wright to Manly

[Woodsie]

I wonder if he will play this weekend instead of the hex?

No way. I'm rooting for hex.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

I won't ask who you are rooting, but heaven help them.

 

[Loobs]

If he was decent why was he playing for the 0-6 Mackay Cutters?

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

I believe he will be put on the wing instead of Williame til Taufua gets back

I've heard this may be true.

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles are pleased to announce the signing of exciting outside back Matthew Wright, effective immediately.

Wright has been released from his contract with the Nth Qld Cowboys and will join the Sea Eagles this weekend. He has played 96 appearances in the NRL.

The former Cronulla Sharks and North Queensland player has signed with the Sea Eagles for the next three years.

Coach Trent Barrett said Wright would be a great asset to the team.

“Matthew is a quality player who can easily play full-back, wing, centre, and five-eighth. When he became available, we didn’t hesitate to sign him,’’ Barrett said.

“He has played almost 100 first grade games and his experience and utility value will be of enormous value to us as we progress further into the season. We look forward to welcoming him to the club.”

One could suggest it already has.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

We have two Wrights.....better than two wrongs

Thanks Arthur Calwell.

Is Buhrer from St.Pats?

Yes, they may already have played together at school

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Very doubtful they'd choose him in front of " the Hex" without one training session, besides Hexie needs to get his losses to 15 and he can't do that in Reggies!!

2007 Ferris and Wrighty were together at St Pats

Poor Hex, scores 4 tries on Monday and wins his first NRL game, then gets dropped

Being tall isn't everything!

Sorry GE, it is everything.

Blacktown boys don't think he went to patrician brothers

Blacktown boys don't think he went to patrician brothers

They are both part of the St Pat alumni

That's how much depth Cows have. Gideon Moseby, Hezron Murgha, Javid Bowen they would all get a game on our wing. Just because Wright hasn't played this year dosent mean much. I just wish he was quicker. Willy Army will come good.

Yeah, but look what happened to Napoleon and Toovey.

Yeah I wasn't asking to be a dick it was a legit question. I just wonder if he was that good, why say he couldn't get a first grade gig. There are a few teams that need wingers.

Wright had to sit out a year due to the ASADA ban.
If he was better than Feldt/Winterstein we could not afford him

We have two Wrights.....better than two wrongs

yeah, but can they fly?

When he was at the Dogs I think they used to bag him as much as TRex the Des punted him to the Sharks if memory serves me correct
