Steve Matai - where is he

[Loobs]

Reclusive introvert FMD. Maybe he has different priorities now. He doesn't like the spotlight, so what?

My dream life haha

If he wants to live his life the way he is, good luck to him. Not sure why the Telecrap felt the need to label him a recluse, sensationalist garbage.

Come Back Skivey. C'mon MAN fans let him know he welcome back and sorely missed.

Did the bloke want to leave manly to join warriors on a massive deal, only to be told no by manly... fast forward 1 year and manly tell him he's surplus to requirment... gee, I wonder why he has no interest in being involved in the club...

I think this current squad has more talent! The difference is as mentioned above, we were a smart football team, last year we were as dumb as dog ****

I disagree. The 2007 - 2012 squad were absolutely awesome and amongst Manly’s best ever

The "team" was better but as for individual skill im not so sure

My favourite player for the period Steve was playing for us.

It is fantastic that Steve has moved on and is happy with his life. Not all of us can genuinely say that.

All the best Steve and whether (or not) you catch up with your former teammates or the club in the future, you were and always will be a legend of this mighty club. You have given all of us amazing memories and you will always be remembered very fondly.

Who from the current team is better than or more skilful than

B Stewart
C Hicks
S Matai
J Lyon
K Foran
DCE
G Stewart
A Whatmough
M Ballin
B Kite

There is not one current player who I would swap with these 10 Manly legends

Tommy has to stump Snake, not Hicks 🙂
Any current winger better than Hicks?

Thankyou. Exactly as I saw it. I’ve been there and I’m a nobody. It must be hard to dissolve into ‘let me be, as I wish". So hard. I wish you well Steve, and to your family and a fruitful and happy life. Love you man❤️

Do you expect anything different from illiterate journos from a comic newspaper lolol.......

He's also picking up on snowboarding much faster than I expected.


Oops

forget I said that.

I think Steve never got over the BS story that Josh Masoud did on him - phone getting taken at airport etc. This lead to media camping outside his house, his name being dragged through the mud etc.

This hurt him greatly and he hasn’t forgotten - sadly it contributed to him basically walking away for the game
