NRL Market Watch: Latest Parramatta Eels signing could seal Ryan Matterson’s exit​

In a sign Blues star Ryan Matterson may be leaving Parramatta, Manly forward Andrew Davey has signed a two-year deal with the Eels.

Davey, 30, is returning home after debuting for Parramatta back in 2020.

Bolstering their backrow depth could be deemed a sign that Parramatta is frightened of losing Matterson, who made his NSW State of Origin debut last week.


Matterson is being pursued by Wayne Bennett’s Dolphins.

Davey will start in the back-row for Sunday’s match against Wests Tigers at Campbelltown Stadium.

Manly had made an offer to extend Davey at Brookvale but the Queensland-born forward has elected to re-join Parramatta.

Davey has been a consistent performer this year at Manly under coach Des Hasler.

The Sunday Telegraph revealed that Parramatta was also interested in Roosters edge forward Angus Crichton.

Davey made his Manly debut in round one last year against the Sydney Roosters.



Embarrassing players choosing that scummy joint over us wake me up when this nightmare is over.

Nice way to Fuk up the day.

With Foran walker and now Davey going hopefully we can make one key signing for next year

Chricton!

 

[JenEagle]

Chricton!

That would be good

 

[Ryan]

Wtf ? We can't lose this class. We just can't !

I mean,
11. Haumole Olakau'atu
12. Kelma Tuilagi
13. Jake Trbojevic

14. Karl Lawton
14. Ben Trbojevic
14. Ethan Bullemor

We do have plenty of depth, but another tough loss

Wow. He prefers to play under Arthur. We extended our offer and still he's leaving.
What an indictment on DESpicable.

They must have chipped in some of Matto's money that they had saved. Money talks these days...

Maybe it’s an indictment on Davey.

 

[XV-1]

Davey has showed zero today. Just sitting on the left edge waiting for the ball to get to him.
Go looking for the ball!!

No wonder Des didn't want to pay more than minimum wage.

Maybe it’s an indictment on Davey.

Or maybe if you are watching us play today, its no wonder he wants the fuk out of Brookie.

 

[JakeyB789]

He’s third lowest in average metres in our starting 17 and equal most with penalties conceded with Jake this year, but if you read this thread you’d think he’s the best backrower in the comp. If he wants to go back to the club that let him go then please do it

It’s done.

With a bit more experience I reckon Ben T will prove to be a better player than Davey.

That post aged well.

 

[Ryan]

He had a cracker second half, too.

 

[Disco]

Like Davey but he ain't a difference maker. Best of luck to him

Clearly, it’s a no brainer. Happy to have Davey there at present, but two more year? No way.

 

[JenEagle]

Is Tuilagi a good signing ? He has been ordinary at the Tigers this year

What has Tuilagi shown - zilch, zero, sfa

In my opinion these are three players worth letting go. To beat the top teams we need impact players. Foran is an 80 minute player but over the hill, Davey is a good defender but I don’t notice him in attack, and Walker while good I am happy to see him toil with the Warriors.

We need youth, speed, and impact in the modern game and the money loosened from these three will help.

We need to build the team around Garrick, Koula, Tui, Parker Schuster and DCE when it comes to the backline and get one or two more young ones in.

Forwards it’s time to let Marty go. Good player but mailing it in these days and his departure frees up nice money.

Saab and Harper I’m on the fence.
