Interesting in a recent interview with Snake, he mentioned King and Matai as the toughest players he's played with

Early in Kings career I remember he played a full game with a broken leg. He was very tough!

and Matai played most of his career with chronic neck and shoulder pain (understandable when you consider how hard he whacked in defence. Those hits would have hurt him almost as much as the victims)

Thanks for the memories feathered friend
What hurt Matai more than his impacted chronic injuries more was Manly losing
Matai was a highly competitive player
Matai played with passion to win and with no preservation with out regard for his own safety , well being or survival .
A player who put his body and his life on the line
