Mattai out for two weeks and the sharks to lose 3. We should smash them by 50 as it will be a virtual resrve grade side.

I don't remember the incident on Sat night, must have been a bit innocuous. However the guy certainly knows how to get suspended. Put him on match payments and it might sink in.
Going on the way he way limping around again there may have been a good chance of him being on the injured list anyway.
Matai should be fined by the club - injuries are one thing but the rest is rubbish and if he is not careful it will cost us a game. I must say I would pick Burns at 5/8 and play Lyon at Centre, assuming that Bell is okay.
We'll have to name him Tampon given his periodic appearances on the field. He is a numbskull though, the new Hoppa, so he deserves everything he gets. Any word on Bell's injury ?? Will he be likely to play ? Don't fancy a centre pairing of Menzies and Neumann.
