There are only two in his career package which Proves that he was capable unlike ParkerThere are only 2 ... in a career highlight package!.
First is about 40m (at 2m 43s in the vid) after he stops and the defence stops. The commentator called it one of the more bizarre tries you'll see, I agree!
Second one (4m 01s) after Snake put him into the clear 38m out.
But you miss the point if you think I am comparing Parker to Matai, I certainly am not.
Merely making the point was that you can be successful at centre even if you aren't fast enough to score long range tries, because obviously there are many other facets of centre play that are also important.
It also does not prove that he did not score scored more longer range tires because it was not put on the vedio list !
The point is and the fact is
If you have no pace and you have no agility , footwork and power tackle breaking ability you will not be competent in attack . Good centres are competent in both attack and defence
