Steve Matai is going to kill you (got this from a wrestler Samoa Joe and thought it pretty much suits him)
He has not been coming out of the line with those huge hits this year. I guess he was opening up holes in our line when he was doing it but i still love those big hits.
I wanna see him throw Finchy into the advertising boards Also i think the "Predator" haircut is his best
Footy Show on 9 just showed a fantastic package of Stevie's best hits (referring to his retirement and Manly being without him). Have to admit it brought a tear to my eye
Skivvi showed us that hits just aren't about being a 130kg behemoth smashing people 30 or 40kgs lighter than you. He showed us with heart and technique (and a touch of kamikaze) you could belt people 20kgs heavier than you. Some of his hits when watching on television you couldn't help but flinch and go 'God that must have hurt'. Then when you are at the game you could almost feel the hit from the stand. Really glad to read this morning that he is still going to be a part of the club going forward. Steve Matai always a true warrior.
One of the greats and will def be missed, such a tragedy that he and Snakie were never able to be properly farewelled by the Brookvale faithful after a stirring last round win!!
