Mateo

[fLIP]

Gotta say guys, I watched the Parra game last night and if we don't throw a fair bit at Mateo to get his signature than I will be a bit disapointed. He is a dead set gun and the best of their forwards yesterday. I certainly hope someone at the club is interested because he would look very smart in the Marron and White.

 

[PEPSI]

yeah hes good flip, he not only plays in the back row he can also play 5/8 and centre i think . Kris Inu is a gun in the making i think as well, but with tahu leaving i cant see him going anywhere.

 

[fLIP]

Did anyone else see him chip over the top from their own 40 line, regather then chip again to follow it up and force a line drop out. Unbelievable confidence and skill for a second rower.

 

[Crushercleal]

Sign him up NOW

 

[PEPSI]

Bozo was giving him huge wraps yesterday on GB, hopefully there is more that that then meets the eye!

 

[DVS Matt]

there was talk about this transaction before the season started. Nothing happened then, and i fear that we have less chance after the performances he has been putting in to date.

Great player - would suit the 13 for Manly

Unfortunately we missed out, he would have been a great signing as well.

Aaaaah...watching the slime chew up their salary cap is like music to my ears. Wagon - LoL (real match winner there).

 

[Ryan]

The only real other backrower on the open market IMO is Eastwood.

 

[PEPSI]

eastwood would be handy lockling our scrum IMO

plus ads some depth to backs, can be moved wide during game as we bring a fresh forward of bench etc.

 

[Ryan]

It's impossibubble to pry a player off the Bronco's though.

 

[PEPSI]

true, but he is a Kiwi, closer to home for him!!

 

[Nutzcraw]

Our team is fine the way it is.. Ballin in for Mona's next year and we'll be sweet.

 

[DSM5]

Agreed Nutz. Don't upset a winning formula imo. Maybe look for another front rower to add pressure on the boneheads we've got, that's all.
